Five Below

This was my first ever Five Below experience.
I’m glad that Hubs and I came in on a weekday afternoon; everything was well organized, clean and prices were clearly visible.
You really can’t compare Five Below to the Dollar Tree because they (Five Below) have a lot more name brand/​higher quality items. You get what you pay for at the Dollar Tree, but you might find something totally unexpected at Five Below.
Great prices on t-​shirts, small electronics, craft kits and games. This would be an excellent place to go without breaking the bank if you have a million + 1 birthday parties to attend or small gifts to purchase.
Will be back!

Very friendly and clean. When I’m at work I depend on them have went I want. They are the life line for HH GREGG employees. That you for all the Monsters, candy, chips and pens.

awesome for kids toys as well as other accessories

Store review:
I still have mixed feelings about five below. On the one hand the price point is quite attractive, on the other hand it is a bunch of stuff that you probably don’t need. If you are looking for small gifts or maybe even a ipad case this is the place to visit. Lots of selection from kids toys to small electronic items. Great to browse around, although I usually leave empty handed. One of the best finds is old ipad cases are very cheap here. Selections vary by store so check it out.
Pros: five dollar and below for all items
Cons: limited selection
Hidden deals:
None

this store is where i would spend all my allowance if i was a little kid again! but since im an adult now i dont really find anythin here 2 b useful. i ended up buyin an ipad case/​stand for $ 5 which was cool but not exactly what i was lookin 4. they have sum things in here that u could get at the dollar tree for $ 1 but here is more expensive. cute store 4 kids but needs a little cleaning up with things everywhere.

This place is ok for me. They have stuff for kids and household items. Also since school stared or is about to start they had a good amount school supplies. They have summer stuff still and water bottles and a few good movies. also they have a big selection of candy and they have some t shirts with logos on them. Today I also got 3 nail polish for $ 5 Which I don’t think is bad. So if you need a flashlight or water bottle or whatever you might need for cheap you can come here.

First experience at a 5 below. This store is obviously geared toward children (or parents shopping for kids). About 70% of the store was stuff for kids, games, various summer toys, etc for kids. That being said, I did leave with $ 23 worth of household goods and I’d say it was a fair price. It was a mishmash of items strewn about and not very tidy.

I needed pool shoes. They had pool shoes under $ 5. Everybody’s happy.
The reason they don’t get 5 stars is because it was difficult to find an employee to ring me up. Otherwise, it was a good experience because I found what I needed right away and it was a great price.

Beware… You CANNOT return items at Five Below… Visited store before the holidays and purchased a lot of stocking stuffers, etc. Well over $ 100…About two weeks later I went back in to return 3 items I could not use ($ 13 total) and was told «No Returns» are allowed. It does state the policy on the receipt so I cannot say it wasn’t posted. I just assumed a franchise store like this would have a return policy or at least store credit? I understand $ 1 items, but these items were $ 5 and $ 3 respectively. I will shop at Target, WalMart, etc for these items in the future as they have many of the same items and allow returns.

Man, this place is addictive. This is a great place for cell phone covers, ear buds, all kinds of random sh**. I especially like this place for small gifts for friends. I’ve bought several gifts here. I’ll buy a main, foundation item somewhere like a nice purse or bag and then fill it with all sorts of Five Below items. Super fun store, worth checking out!

Like most hot-​bIooded Americans eager to spend their next dollar, I thought I loved all things Fall seasonal until I entered this Five Below.
I’m used to my regular store, in Woodridge, which is like a Disney miracle on ice, but without the ice and far cheaper than actual ticket to any ‘Disney on Ice’ show.
This store was like a gutted Bizarro-​world version of that where the aisles all went the wrong way and all the good stuff that applied ot my active lifestyle as a purchaser of semi-​useful things and junk-​horder of everyday items went out the window.
I came at the end of September/​beginning of October and all the good ish was gone and all the seasonal Halloween junk had been piled in, sparingly. The selection was meager and meek compared to what my ‘fancy’ western-​burbs tastes had become accustomed to at the Five Below strip mall in Woodridge.
Sadly, I had chosen my first visit to the Schaumburg location as a good jumping point for my (also hoarder) mother and grandmother to delve in the wonder of 5 below, but with the limited stock and seriously crappy selection of Halloween garb + garbage, they left pretty unimpressed and yearning for a real dollar store… and this time, I can’t really blame them.
I purchased NOTHING. My Grandma purchased NOTHING. My Mom purchased a pair of socks, that unraveled, I kid you not, before she even got a chance to put them on her feet about 300 feet out of the store when she took the tag off.
Poopy. Poopy representation of a business I had felt was pretty unanimously spectacular just a few weeks ago.
Step up your game $ 5 store of Schaumburg, Illinois.
Yeah, I just said that. So what?

Pretty cool for a dollar store type place. I’ve gotten some stuffed hello kitties here, candy, a cover for my iPhone, and a screen protector for my iPhone. I will definitely be back.

So, there weren’t a whole lot of stores open before 11 AM on a Sunday morning in this strip mall so I decided to wander in and take a gander.
There were more interesting things than I had expected. Some fun cups if you have parties… even test tube shots with animal print on them.
They have a bunch of graphic t-​shirts. Tons of candies and sodas/​waters by the door. Some pet supplies, little travel size products, back to school supplies.
I’m sure I could have found plenty of things to buy here, but I resisted the temptation and just got a friend a little gift. Gosh, I’m so nice!

Wow, this place is a huge step up from your typical dollar store. I can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner! The store is very clean and organized. Was there late Saturday night and there were still employees walking around straightening things up. The place does have a very strong rubbery smell from all the cheaper plastic items but if you can get over that, you will be sure to find a bunch of quirky things.
They have tons of candy, cold beverages, electronic gadgets (ear buds, stuff for your ipad, etc), duct tape in every color, lunch boxes, beach towels, Bears/​Sox/​Cubs/​Hawks stuff, magnets, workout gear… the list goes on and on. I really loved that they had greeting cards and really nice gifts bags for a buck (I didn’t notice the prices for the cards). Gift bags are always so expensive so I will definitely be coming here if I ever need one. I didn’t notice if they had a pet toy section… if not, they should!

Just like Candice, I cannot believe I didn’t know this place existed! I bookmarked it a few weeks back, and finally got the chance to venture in here on Saturday.
It was pretty busy, but not so busy that you can’t get around.
And just like the name suggests, everything is $ 5 or less! It’s crazy!
They have shirts, other clothes, packs of socks, dishes, tupperware, workout equipment, things for your ipod/​ipad/​droid, etc. TONS of stuff in fact. Books, movies, food, games… you name it, you can probably find it here – for $ 5 or less!
I can’t wait to come back and see what other treasures I can find!

Five Below is like a dollar store… only a five dollar store. They have better quality, selection, and variety than a dollar store while still being cheap. If you are looking for games, t-​shirts, stocking stuffers, calendars, or candy– this is your place! I know some people that have walked away from this store with a lot of stuff!

This is a very cool store! It’s like a glorified dollar store with higher quality and much cooler items. I was excited when I heard this store opened because they honestly have really good deals on current popular items.
They have a ton of Twilight related merchandise, Chicago sports teams (I wish they would have had some Packer stuff for my fam in WI), Disney items, super cute things, a bunch of cool candy, Wii games, DVDs that are actually good (like the Twilight series!!!), super cute animal hats & earmuffs, tons of different Justin Bieber merchandise, a bunch of Jersey Shore merchandise, huge selection of games and crafts, cute graphic tees for guys and girls for just $ 5 each and much more!
I picked up a a couple Operation Toy Story games for just $ 5 each, these normally retail for $ 17! These will make great donations for Toys for Tots!
This is a really fun store, clean, well organized, but prepare yourself to be surrounded by teenie parents and their antsy, pushy parents!

went to the newly opened store in Schaumburg!
i could have gone crazy buying up things in this store but i am on a budget so I was good.
They have a huge selection & wide variety of items & all $ 5 or less. Its a great alternative to the Dollar tree in terms of some items. I’ll be a regular customer for sure!
Infact my daughter has asled about every day when we are going back!
