Five Below has a wide variety of items for cheap, but don't think that just because an item is $5 or less that you're getting a steal. Don't get me wrong--$5 for Guitar Hero on WiiU or $5 for Fifa '17 on Xbox One is a great deal, but $5 for a 2.4 amp car charger isn't that great of a deal, and could be found elsewhere for a much better price. That being said, buying a 2.4 amp car charger may not be the wisest purchase in the first place, which brings me to my next point: don't waste your money on poor quality.
Frankly, most of the items here are made of poor quality (which is totally fine in some cases), despite some of them appearing to be of decent or good quality. For example, all of the headphones for sale appear to be similar in quality to Skull Candy, a brand that makes cool, trendy headphones in the ~$100 price range. However, when one picks up the headphones from Five Below, the near weightlessness of the item immediately dashes any notion that they are of decent quality. When demoed, the headphones provide incredibly poor audio, which should be expected of a $5 pair of headphones. These headphones, like many other items at this store, appear to be made well, but customers should not expect anything other than $5-quality from any item in this store. Simply put, there are some items (like headphones, phone cases, or clothes) that may simply not be worth paying $5 for if they will break or become run down easily.
The drinks and candy at this store are priced fairly, and some of them may even be good deals. The wide variety of candies instantly place Five Below into the "go-to candy store" tier in Abilene. read more
