Western Eagle The Bargain Store — Local services in Temecula

Friendly staff. Good selection of discounted items. Many items are close to or after the best buy or use by date so just be aware. I shop here all the time and just use my own judgement.

The $15 box contents are listed almost daily on the FB and Instagram pages, as well as new furniture & goods...

Would I return? Doubtful. But it's worth one trip if you...
