Daiso - Japanese Household Goods — Attraction in Arroyo Grande

Mood- Guilty Pleasure

Every time I go into a Daiso, I start with a plan of exactly what I am going to buy. And every time like clock work I have a basket that I was not going to use, and a whole bunch of other stuff that was never on my shopping list.

Upon entering I have always been greeted at this location. Staff always very friendly. Also I have noticed they are always restocking the shelves continually. There are so many finds in here. Take your time and go up and down every isle. I am sure you will find something - if not everything.

There is everything from office stuff, home decor, baby stuff, kitchen stuff, outdoor stuff, makeup, food, and all the in-between. This particular day I was on the hunt for the baby chopstick trainers. And oh my goodness I bought so much more. Like almost a whole basket of more. Now my office at work is decorated with some pretty cool stuff.

Would recommend- Pricing is reasonable. Most people are off-put by the way pricing reads. Take your time. If you see numbers listed look for the wall plaques that break down the amount you will pay, if there is no price listed any where currently those items are 1.75 each. No refunds all sales are final. Which is understandable for a discount store.

Location is Rainbow/215 -...

I have been to Daisos all across California-from North to South-and suffice it to say, this one has got to be the worse of them all. I had high expectations considering my experience from other Daiso locations and this location fell so short. For starters, the selection is minimal at best and the quality in many of their products is sub par. For comparison, Daiso in Rancho Cucamonga has a wide variety of kitchenware, stationary, toys, beauty products and the quality is decent in relation to their price, but in this location, it appears all the reject items were sent here save for a handful of items which were the ones I did purchase. Needless to say, there was so much hype behind this location and it was such a big disappointment. Also, we are not in California, but for some reason, this side of Las Vegas feels like California, from the mask mandate in the stores to the 20 cent charge for a paper bag. INSANE. Please stop turning Vegas into a mini...

We stopped here before dinner to grab a few gifts to take home from our trip since we were visiting town for our anniversary, the staff in this store was readily on hand right behind me every turn of the store to be sure I didn't "need help finding anything". However, there was a weird man walking around stalking me as I shopped. I thought he may have worked there but he was a bit to invasive, so I concluded that this guy was definitely a stalker. Every isle I walked down he met me at the other end, I even made a facetime call so I wouldn't feel alone and uncomfortable, and I know he couldn't have been like loss prevention because when I went over by the chop sticks, there were some young girls putting novelty items in her pocket, and if I saw that I know he saw that. So, I casually walked over to where my 6'4, 385 lb, heavily melaninated husband was shopping for hot noodles at and the guy seemingly...
