Five Below

This place is like todays version of the old five and dimes but with alot cooler merchandise! EVERYTHING in the store is no more than 5 bucks and can go all the way down to 10 cents for incense sticks. This is not your run of the mill dollar store! They dont sell junk. Its stuff you would go to a department store to buy… at a way bigger price. Believe it or not they even have some shoes and accessories for young girls and teens. This is DEFINATELY my go to place from now on when the kids get those dreaded yet constant party invites. BTW, I brought up that they sell incense (which I am obsessed with… ONLY if its the GOOD kind, and it IS here). They have a serve yourself, «Incense Bar» which I love. You get to pick 5 sticks for a dollar and bag them yourslef in those ziploc type incense baggies. They are not the cheap eucalyptus, old hippie, tryin to cover up the smell of pot type of incense either. LIke I said, this is the good stuff with tons of smells to choose from. HAVE FUN in this place… I know I DO

This location replace what was formerly the Secretary of State’s office. I was looking for some items to «propose» to my potential bridesmaids so I thought it would be a good place to go.
Five Below carries miscellaneous items for $ 5 and under. You can find anything from cleaning supplies to toys to IPhone chargers. What you get may or not be a deal. The item that I was looking for was not. It was actually cheaper at the Party City across the way. It did have a good selection of holiday presents for kids. I might come back to pick up a few check toys for my fiancé’s nephews.
Service was good for this type of location. Staff members asked if I found everything alright and were there if I had any questions. I am not sure if this will be a regular stop for me, but it is on my radar.

One of the newer additions to the Four Flaggs Shopping Center, this place sells things for $ 5 or less. I have been to one at a different location and wasn’t impressed, but I needed a break from studying so I stopped by this place.
I ended up getting a bunch of stuff I didn’t realize I needed, but that always happens to me at the dollar store too. I can’t help but be drawn to a bargain (even if it is cheap). As things range in value up to $ 5, some of the stuff is not really a deal. It may be a challenge to find things that are worth what you are paying for at this store, but hey I like a challenge.
First part of the challenge is navigating this place. It’s huge! They have a wide variety of random things. Children’s books, toys, cat toys, funny t shirts (one literally made me LOL), office supplies, coloring stuff, candy, scarves, key chains, ornaments, fruit cutters, kettle corn makers, I could keep going, but if there is a character limit on these reviews I would probably reach it.
Second challenge, finding something that’s worth what you’re paying. Some of the stuff is not worth it for sure. $ 1.00 for 15 wet wipes? I’ve spent the same amount to buy 40. Some of the prices were pretty comparable to what you’d pay at other places like Target.
Staff was pretty friendly, one of the staff was up on a ladder and noticed me looking around for the price for some books and she was pretty nice and let me know without me even asking. I had some trouble waiting for a little bit for staff to get back to the checkout, but everyone there was also super friendly.
Overall this place is not bad, it’s got more variety than a dollar store, but it’s a little more difficult to shop. So much easier to compare value when everything’s the same price. But I can’t complain since everything is under a $ 5!
