Five Below

Umm, so this store is geared towards teens but as a 24, almost 25 year old college graduate, I freaking LOVE this store. Everything is priced between $ 1 – 5 and the quality of their products is a-​mazing! They have cute/​trendy shirts for 5 bucks, every color nail polish you could ever want, techy stuff like ear buds, phone cases, movies, music and more. It’s definitely my favorite «dollar» store in Columbus.

So yea… love this store. My kids — they LOVE LOVE LOVE this store. This is the spot for a good deal. You would be surprised at the variety of items they carry for under five dollars.
They have books, craft kits, toys, even some clothes. I like their fuzzy sock collection and gloves and hats. They have a section for cards and party supplies. Candy galore. This is the perfect place for stocking suffers at xmas.

My kids & I LOVE going in here. I have bought many items from this store and none of them fell apart quickly. I have bought my kids toys, combs, hair accessories, purses, lunchboxes, etc. and all have held up great!
They also have old school candy that is very hard to find (candy cigarettes, chic o sticks, mallo cups, zeros, the list goes on and on) that is priced great. Heck, everything in here is $ 5.00 or below (hence the name).

This is a great junk store. I was actually able to find my husband a kitschy paor of skull-​and-​bones suspenders which he liked. I also got my daughter a $ 1 magnifying glass (which she adores). I also like it for getting large packs of glow sticks and gift bags/​cards.

Worst customer service! The last two times I’ve gone in there’s always 8 people in line and 1 cashier. This last time I walked out due to this is probably wont be back anymore.

Cool things, good price. Drawback is everything that isn’t food is cheaply made. My friend got two iPhone cases. One broke just putting it on her iPhone, the other after a week. I got a USB charger for my iPhone which not only don’t work on certain devices, but stopped working altogether not too much longer later. I bought some shirts for Xmas gifts. Hope they don’t fall apart as well. Oh, and you can’t return, only exchange if it’s defective. Not much help seeing as how you get another crappy item.

I like going to Five Below from time to time on my lunch break. As the name suggests, everything is priced $ 5 and below. It’s much better than your average «dollar» store… I can always find random and fun things to look at in the store. They sell things like toys, hair accessories, t-​shirts, candy, picture frames and desk accessories. I like to get screen protectors for my iPhone here as they’re only $ 3 compared to other stores where I’ve seen them for $ 10+. There’s always a decent selection of sports gear here, too. They have stuff for most of the local teams… Ohio State, Indians, Cavs, Steelers… but never any Browns… what gives? Either way, it’s still a cool store to go in and kill some time and perhaps make some inexpensive impulse buys.
