Five Below

Easter stuff is in and all under five dollars. Got all my kids easter things in here for half the price i normally would! Just another reason i love this store!

I never knew what this store was until recently. Like Matt B., I thought it was a sporting goods-​type store, selling North Face jackets or something. But no! It’s simple — everything is $ 5 or less! Definitely better quality stuff than the dollar store. They have gift wrap, greeting cards, cables for your electronics, toys, games, holiday décor, and lots more. I should go here more often, but I hate the Crossroads Plaza! Sorry, Five Below.

Based on the name and location alone, I had no idea what this was. My best guess was some sort of winter apparel store, which seemed like it wouldn’t do well in a Southern state where the humidity can provide sufficient moisture for fish to live out of water.
But when I drove by slowly and looked at a sign, I figured out it was a store were everything was under $ 5. OK. I slightly better stocked dollar store. Cool.
Upon entry, however, I was surprised at the diversity of things. Being nerdy, I was immediately drawn to the electronics section. They’ve got a bunch of converters, iCrap accessories, and whatnot for FAR cheaper than you can find them at Best Buy next door.
Pro tip: DO NOT buy your HDMI cables at Best Buy — walk next door and get them here. $ 5 at this place vs. $ 30 – 60 at BB.
Awesome find. And great for me, since I just moved here and need to stock back up on things for an apartment.
