This is not your average dollar store filled with useless junk. Five below features a plethora of good quality, useful, and unique goods. They also feature items that are normally overpriced, but for under five dollars. The insulated and padded computer and tablet cases and covers are a sure bet. They even have a small selection of ironic messages t-shirts and vintage metal lunch boxes. Check out this gem for a great deal.

Love this store! We don’t have five bellows in Utah so when I travel to MA I always try to stop in. Store was well stocked, large variety of items, prices clearly marked, all around fun. The store clerk even let me try on a phone case to see if it’d fit my phone before I purchased it. This store is mostly marketed to parties or would appeal to the 25 and under crowd or someone who enjoys qwerky items. :)

Not impressed with few things I bought here. The cheapo umbrella I bought for $ 5 broke on the 1st windy day of using it!

Five Below is a step above the dollar store experience can lead to some interesting finds– decent lunchboxes, dorm décor, DVDs(especially in the workout section), books for kids, etc. They generally have a little something for everyone even if they aren’t a teen. They carry New England sports related items, candy under a dollar, and seasonal items– in the summer they’ll have cheap sunglasses, flip-flops, pool toys and foam swords that will last half a season or so, which is really all you need(especially when buying two is so cheap). The company is good at selling inexpensive versions of trendy items, and this store is no exception. Great for kids and teens. As other viewers have said, however, do not go for the cheap electronics.(I’d say never buy headphones under $ 20 anyway, though…)

This store has been there for years, and then a friend suggested I try it out(the store in general not this specific one), so around Christmas time this year I was driving up Rt 1 and I decided to stop in… Well they have everything… OMG there is soo much… You wouldnt guess it a Cheap store, although everything I found that was decent was $ 5, I didnt find much of the below(aside from scrunchies & candy)… There are tons of ipod/iPad/MP3 accessories & holders… So if you need somthing along those lines I guess $ 5 isnt bad… Theres some items that are really good for $ 5, childrens bedroom décor & items. Books, I found a real cool Pashmina*ish scarf for $ 5… So I would def recommend(if you dont mind walking out spending a good amount), because you keep telling youself«Its only $ 5», then you realize youve spent $ 100…

I drove by Five Below and decided to check it out. When I walked into Five Below it had the vibe of a more mature Claire’s with better stuff. They had a lot of Red Sox and Bruins gear, cell phone cases, head phones, candy, and stuff that looks like it was made for a dorm room. I would not come her for anything essential, but for gifts or light shopping I would go here. The only shoppers here seemed to be to kids, teens, or their parents. Way to make me feel old Five Below.

This is a great place to find a inexpensive gift for a great quality. You can find some good bargins.

First and foremost with this particular retail establishment you get what you pay for. Some items you may pay $ 2 for and get total garbage but when other big retaillers want $ 40 for an iPhone charger when I can get one for(surprise!) five dollars or below you’ll understand some of the priceless deals you may find. They don’t keep merchandise week to week so there’s no guarantee as to what you’ll find but I’m yet to have been dissapointed. One word of advice though: this venue is super vigilant over idenity theft. Be prepared to show an ID if the signature on the back of the card doesn’t look readable enough to match the name on the card…

I’m a bargain hunter and anytime a new store promising low prices I at least go to check it out. This particular one is awesome. I have since it opened found a yoga mat brand new high quality for $ 5, various phone and game accessories and other little things that we either need or feel that«we have to have» when we see it. I love it. And the sign is no gimmick EVERYTHING is 5 below!
