This weekend I took my kids to Five Below. Five Below is basically a five-dollar store. Everything here is five dollars or less. It was its grand opening for this new store, and they had five cent hot dogs. Need I say more?
Five Below is a national chain that focuses on teens and preteens, but even if you’re an adult you can still score some good things.
Some of the merchandise is priced correctly. It’s stuff you would get anywhere especially the “one” dollar stores for one dollar. Other items were inexpensive by nature, like off brand nail polish that you can anywhere for less than five dollars.

Some items were more expensive than Dollar Tree or Target’s One Spot, such as workbooks priced at $2. I get similar ones at Dollar Tree for a dollar. Or the SpongeBob card and domino games that are $5 here, but one dollar at Target.
Of course, the most interesting items were the liquidation items. There were several things that really caught my eye. One was a table of books, some of them still had their Barnes & Nobles clearance price tags on them (Five Below’s price on them was half of the clearance price). Another good selection were DVDs. Unlike the no-name titles that most dollar stores sell, these were special edition of The Holy Grail or The Two Towers.

They also had a large number of Tiger items for us Detroiters, and they were really cute. They also had a large number of board games and craft kits that would be great for birthdays or holidays. Wilson basketballs were also a good buy.
One final note: all sales are final, so be careful before you buy.
So, would I come shop here again? The answer is yes. Would it replace Dollar Tree for me? No. You can’t beat a dollar.
