Five Below

Love the store itself with that being said, two weeks ago on a Saturday one of the metal stands that they have in this store was wrongly put up, and when someone barely past next to it, it felt on my foot. To this day I still feel pain on my toes. This can be dangerous specially if little kids are around.

The Five Below in Germantown is a one stop spot to find any cheap accessory you are looking. Before going into this store I had never been to a five below and figured it was just a dollar store with inflated prices. I made a point to stay out of them in an attempt to fight inflation. My mom always says «back in my day I remember when we use to get pop for a nickel at the 5 and dime» (I wish I was kidding). I thought if I went into a five below I would sound like my mom ‘this is the same stuff that was in the dollar store when I was a kid,’ but it definitely is not.
This Five Below not only has tons of stuff, it also has tons of space. You don’t walk in and get claustrophobic like in so many of its competitor’s stores. I have gotten things here from headphones to iPhone cases to sporting equipment to backpacks. It has everything you need for way cheaper than you would expect.
To explain this another way: Five Below is the Hyundia Sonata of stores. Is it a top of the line car? No definitely not, but it has a lot of things you need and want for an extremely affordable price. Also, it looks nice. It is clean and bright, so what more could you want.
I am glad I found this place and will continue coming back here for little things I need. One word of caution, a lot of the things here are still lower quality than normal. For instance my iPhone charger only lasted a couple of months before it inexplicably stopped working.

Okay, so you could get some real good deals here. But first, allow me to warn you. Do not buy! I repeat do not buy any cell phone chargers from here!!! Dont be a tightwad or a miser!!! Go to BestBuy and get the real deal there!!! The chargers are pure garbage! The car chargers especially if you have a samsung phone. the end that goes into the phone breaks! It wont last a month! Their refund policy sucks sorta. If you have receipt you can get a even exchange or store credit! WTF! You sell crap and cant get your money back!
Iphone screen protectors and IPAD screen protectors okay, for now. Ill update it if need be.
Candy selection is okay. A nice pit stop before going to the movies. Some stuff here you can do better and the dollar store if you really wanna be cheap.
Clothes: If you wanna dress like Snooki (when she was in Jersey Shore) they got your dresses here…
They have cheap tee’s with stupid sayings here… I rather sport a plain Hanes Tee than look like a moron… wearing that.
Towels are cheap… made… Like if you get out the shower… You will def soak that towel up… and you will be shivering…
The one store I found in Gtwn that wasnt trashed or looking like a hurricane. Its neat and tidy… and good luck if you need any help… Cashiers are more concerned on whats going on Instagram or Vine… or whatevers on their Iphone 4.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk!!!
That’s the shriek I let out when I found a Gio Gonzalez mini pillow pet that was $ 3. I also bought $ 3 flip flops, which really made my day since I’d been squishing about in waterlogged canvas Topsiders after getting caught in a downpour. But I digress.
You could probably live here. FB sells snacks and drinks, DVDs, gym equipment, clothes… See, everything you need to survive. Seriously, I LOVE this place. I’m totally doing all my Christmas shopping here.
