Five Below

I had never been to or heard of a Five Below prior to moving to the area a couple months ago. This place is SO perfect for buying quick, cheap but fun presents for your nieces, nephews, cousins, etc. Perfect for donating to Toys for Tots or for Christmas exchanges at school! I found a specific toy here for $ 5 and ended up finding the identical product selling at Walmart for $ 20. Score!

I had never been to Five Below before today. The only thing I knew about it was that you could get cheap cell phone charging cords there, or so I was told. Today I went in hoping to find some other good prices.
This place reminded me of a Party Source and Dollar Tree combined. It had some really awesome adult coloring books, a huge selection of nail polishes, gloves and hats for winter. All sorts of stuff! I was very happy to find ear muffs — and they were only $ 4!

Five Below is like a Dollar General but with a dorm room sense of style. It is very clean and full of stuff that I actually want to buy.

Five below is, hands down, the best «dollar store» ever. Maybe due to the fact that everything is as the name states: Five BELOW. Thank you discount store God’s for giving us a store true to its name! I love that it is literally a few stores down from much job so if I get there early on the bus I usually try to pop in and look around.
Most of their inventory is ever changing, which is a Good thing. Keeps the people guessing ya know? I love their holiday items such as St Patrick’s day, Christmas, etc. I think I’ve bought different holiday socks from there every holiday lol.
I love the t-​shirts they have too and actually hold up pretty well. Thank goodness for that because these will become your favorite shirts with nice graphics and witty sayings.
They have tons of phone accessories as well. I bought a basic flexible case for my Samsung S4 and am impressed to say as much as I drop much phone it’s held up well.
Last but not least the epic candy section. If you manage to walk out without buying any candy you have failed your shopper obligations. Seriously the best place to get your candy fix and stock up before the movies (ladies get your purses ready!)
I absolutely love this store and will continue to give them my business. Sure everything is five below but you can easily get caught up and leave spending lots!

This is an amazing store full of STUFF.
Candy, backpacks, stationery, crayons, seasonal items, iPhone cases, USB cords, bins, baskets, books, board games, puzzles, card games, free-​weights, yoga mats, food containers.
It’s a dizzying store, but there is so much here.

You probably are thinking to yourself? Why would I ever want to go to five below?
Its simple: EPIC CANDY SECTION. Awesome place, if you have a penchant for the occasional high fructose delicacies. Best I’ve ever seen.

I love this store. Its like the dollar stores cooler, better looking brother. There is so much to look at it get me dizzy. So many cool gadgets for my phone at great prices. Lets not forget the great candy selection, I mean arent we all kids at heart?

Stocking up for stuff on the cheap I swung by here with the sis.
Cool storage baskets for kids, handy containers, footballs and baseballs for the nephew to play around with and yep cheap yoga mats. Awesome!
Definitely a fun little place to swing by. A step up from the dollar store :).

Five Below is the Neiman — Marcus of dollar stores, but you’ll find no Needless — Markup here. The prices on some items may be 5 times as much as the dollar store, but just like Neiman — Marcus, you’re getting a better quality for your $.
On my most recent visit, I learned that several of the brands available at Five Below are exclusive. Just like the warehouse clubs, FB has created their own products to pass savings on to their shoppers and here you do not need to have a membership card to save.
This shopping visit was all about my New Years Resolution to live a healthier lifestyle. I remembered seeing Yoga mats on my last visit, so I came back to get one for the class I am starting. The mat is very comparable to others I’ve looked at for $ 20-​$ 25 and I only paid $ 5. I was also able to get a Yoga block for only $ 4.
I also found some very functional and practical containers for packing lunches. Now I have no excuse not to pack a healthy lunch. It will stop me going out for fast food.
Another goodie I found was a small cookbook called 100 Healthy Foods. Logically it listed 100 healthy foods and then gave you a healthy recipe to enjoy them.
I avoided the temptation of their huge candy department. The cashier even commented on my strength. She saw me circling the display, with the eyes of a child. If you’re headed to the movies, I do recommend you come here and buy your movie treats and sneak them into the theater.
When I shop here, I shop like I do at Bath and Body Works and that is with no basket. That way, when I can not hold or carry any more items to buy I know it is time to stop shopping and check out fast.

As the name suggests, everything here is below 5 bucks. And the place is much more organized that a Dollar General or other thrift store. Feel free to find your stocking stuffers here.

This store is seriously awesome. They have so much more variety than your average dollar store and have some decent brands. If we lived in STL full time we would have bought way more than we did. Good place to come and get toys for the holiday season for charity. Had a lot of good movies to choose from.

I always grocery shop at TJs in Brentwood, and when I saw this stor open I was excited to see what it was all about. I loved it! It is basically a store to pick up anything you forgot for a summer of fun for under $ 5! Books, movies, beach toys, action figures, towels or sparkly things? No problem! The quality was decent, certainly not high end basketballs, but nothing that will be ruined after a few years of backyard use. I bought some small party favors here for a gathering we hosted. It’s just a fun store because you don’t know what you will find.
