Rest in Peace Oakland 99 Cent Store

Sadly, the West Oakland 99 cent store closed.

The only 99 cent only chain store is in Berkeley, walkable from the North Berkeley BART station.

At my most recent visit there, I was able to get:
- portobello caps and crimini mushrooms, now in a smaller package than before (4 or 5 oz.)
- 5 lb. bag of red potatoes
- 16 oz. bags of dried garbanzo beans
- Ocean spray dried cranberries
- large heads of cauliflower
- canned cherries made in USA
- black peppercorns
I also saw guava paste and pink Himalayan salt.
