Five Below

When Five Below first came to town I mostly looked at it as a place to cop some cheap candy and a place for teen girls to come ride unicorns or something. Well it’s actually become quite useful for my adult life. You can get some pretty cheap workout/​loungewear plus weights and also nice tech accessories for the low low. What I hate is it USED to be $ 5 or below where now almost everything worth getting is right at $ 5. Anything lower then that is cheap glitter nail polish or snacks.

A friend of mine raved about this place. Last year we met up at a St. Patrick’s Day festival and her and her beau stopped to get us some goodies. I finally are a stop after breezing through Marshall’s. Eh, I guess it’s ok if you want some quick, cheap stuff. The hubster and I grabbed a few things — a sports bra & leggings to workout in for me, a iphone 6plus wallet for him. I def should’ve gotten a bigger size in those tights tho — not much spandex mixed in those things, should’ve known better, they were only $ 5 lol.

You know that overwhelming feeling you get walking into a 99 cent store? You get a similar feeling walking into a Costco. There’s a ton of stuff at reasonable prices but you only need one thing. No, seriously, you really only need one thing.
I had this feeling walking into the store.
Even though the shop is relatively small, it is stocked to the hilt full of stuff.
This place has it all: Cookbooks, children’s book, novelty books: this funny nail polish it changes colors when it’s in the sunlight: a hoard of games (old school games from the 1970s and 1980s even), candy (even vintage candy), iPhone cases, headphones, crayons, etc.
I get the sense that this place is less about making sure you have the right toiletries stocked at home and more about what you can burn your cash on for gifting.
Seriously. Need to find a ton of Christmas presents in a short period of time? This is your spot.
Overall, the place is neatly organized. The staff is accommodating. The variety is broad. You can find something for small children and older adults.

Its payday and I feel like spending money on useless crap. That’s where Five Below comes in… because I totally need a zebra print lint brush… and a 4 soda can mini fridge… or a coloring book the side of a golden retriever. Plus they have cheap candy. which means my bf gets a huge goodie bag for a surprise. I love all five belows.

This store is pretty nice. Every thing is $ 5 or less as previously mentioned. They carry some nice Stocking Stuffers, Accessories, Games, Board Games, Wii Games (The Cheap one’s), Cards, Phone and Computer accessories, Old School Candy (They have Mary Janes and Big Chew y’all) and pleny of other items as well. Most items cost at least $ 1, some of the candy is 10 for $ 1.
I should probably mention that most of the board games are not the classic games. Like the have a Build It Monopoly that comes with pieces and not the hard Monopoly Board that I grew up playin with. But it’s only $ 5 so I can’t complain. I picked up Scrabble, Battle of the Sexes and Connect Four as well. I wanted to find Twister but they did not have it at this location. They also had severl IPhone/​IPod accessorices as well. I snacked up a Pink Retro Phone Headset and little fan to cool down my laptop as I watch movies and Unilocal from my bed.
If you don’t mind getting sucered into spending WAAAAY more money than you expected to spend. (THINK OF YOUR LAST DOLLAR TREE TRIP). Then stop by this store and you will be sure to find something that you can use!

Customer service is great! I love picking up little toys for my niece but dont sleep, I was able to get a car charger and some head phones!

New store with everything sold here $ 5 or less… this is their grand opening weekend. The store seemed to have some pretty unique and useful items at great prices. I will definitely be visiting to see if their inventory stays this way or if it turns into junk. Overall, I like the concept. Very clean, neat, and well organized. It is a step above the Dollar Tree.
