Watch out for ads on your tray tables, air-sickness bags, and in-flight entertainment systems. — CNN Money

As far as I know not everything in a 99 cent store was 99 cents.
1They still have these? I haven't seen one of these in years.
2there's actually one by my mom's house in NJ and there are quite a few 99 cent stores in NYC and i love them. you'd be surprised with what you can get there - there are actually GREAT products. i get tons of stuff that you'd normally pay a lot more for in regular stores - so i'm all for them.
i can understand why some would go higher cause of the cost of things going up - but these stores sell the surplus of things, so it shouldn't make an impact really...
as for the airlines - i work in advertising, and i've been getting calls from reps for AGES about in flight advertising - if it's in their magazine, on the tray tables, on the programming - it's nuts!
3that's where i shopped when i was on a tight college budget. Everything is 99 cents even if the package says it's more...sometimes they even have 2 for 99 or 3 for 99 cent deals.
