I've spent my last dollar at this place. I'm tired of crappy stuff. 2 different slimes were purchased as Easter gifts. One was hard as a rock - Mango Cloud Slime. The other Spring Time Slime Carrot Cake is like a runny egg yolk. Neither can be played with. My daughter purchased mascara there. Well - that was dried up in the container. Nope not happening again! read more

Store Review: Shopping on a budget this is the place to check out. I stopped by during Black Friday to check out the 5 dollar pillow pet juniors for my son. Unfortunately I did not see thomas the tank engine, but percy the tank engine. Otherwise the store is a higher end dollar shop and has a lot of ipad/iphone accessory for cheap if you need that. Overall if you know what you are buying this can save you money but the selection is limited. Pros- nothing over 5 dollars, lots of phone accessories Cons- limited selection Hidden deals- It is already a 5 dollar store, what more can you ask if nothing is more than 5 bucks. read more

This is kinda like Dollar Store's older and more refined sister or something. As the name suggests, prices are $5 or lower. Some of the things are a deal, but others don't seem to save you that much. For example, you can get barbells for $5 each (which I think is actually a good price), but they also sell bottles of VitaminWater for $1.29 (which I think is the same price as Target). I liked their selection of cards, but they were still priced about the same as anywhere else. I also liked their $5 shirts, but the largest size I could find was a Medium and it looked teeny tiny. I'll probably just come here for stocking stuffers. read more

Was pleasantly surprised last week when I came across the grand opening. We had discovered this store in Geneva, IL. I'm happy there's one so close to home now! Sure, the stuff isn't super high quality but it's really not bad considering everything in the store is $5 or less. They sell a lot of accessories for phones, laptops, and tablets as well as candy, toys, makeup, etc. One section of the store changes with the seasons/holidays. Right now they have a lot of back to school stuff and then they will switch that out for Halloween. read more

Five Below - One of the items they sell. It's an eco-friendly boombox with a Skittles logo. - Discount Store Near Me - Bloomingdale, Illinois

This is a cool store, and it looks like everything is actually under $5, unlike the plethora of "dollar" stores out there which aren't actually dollar stores anymore. It's a fun store to walk around and check out different odds and ends. There are a lot of tech items like car chargers, phone cases, even mini hdmi to hdmi adapters. They have a lot of candy (like bottle caps!) and even some cheap sports items like dumbells and balls. I should have shopped here for our the yankee swap because there are a lot of fun items. The layout of this store is cleaner than most dollar stores. I dunno why but most dollar stores just seem kinda dirty. I'm glad to have checked this place out and I will be back. edit: Oh, I just realized this is my 300th review. Nice. read more

They advertised cat/dog beds around Xmas so I stopped in. Never been before - probably cause I have no kids. This is a mecca for young kids. They seem to have some good crap for under five bucks. I have no need to shop here but if I had little kids I would come shop for T shirts and art supplies and other entertainment crap. It's all cheap and throw away quality... read more

Erika let me correct you on something. I saw more than 20 things at like the price of TEN dollars so no recorrect yourself.

Half the store is closed off for remodeling... couldn't even look at items, got repremanded by rude employees and even ruder manager for trying to look at items. Who the hell closes off half their store full of products?? Never seen that in retail before?? Then ask the 'manager' if he could grab me the item i was looking for. Without even a glance... "oh, that product is gone". What?! Really? Thanks for the effort moron! Worst retail chain ever and i only been there once! Guess once was enough! Thanks for nothing... (I called another location which had what i was looking for, still not going to get it tho...) read more

This location is great cuz they seem to have better selection than other locations I've been to. I found a mouse for a computer and has a cute design on it. There are some things that are a great deal for nothing more than $5, but there are some other items that are not worth the price or is a bit more expensive here & is cheaper at a different store. I feel like if I was 12 again I would definitely spend my whole allowance here in one shot! read more

Grand opening this weekend!!! For those of you who don't know, Five Below is a discount store where everything is $5 or less. This place is a huge step up from your typical dollar store as they carry known name brand items (Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen for $4.99 for example). Considering it is opening weekend, the store was very clean and organized...super crowded though. The place does have a very strong rubbery smell from all the cheaper plastic items (as do all the other Five Below locations I've been to) but if you can get over that, you will be sure to find a bunch of quirky things. They have tons of candy, cold beverages, electronic gadgets (ear buds, stuff for your ipad, etc), duct tape in every color, lunch boxes, beach towels, Bears/Sox/Cubs/Hawks stuff, magnets, workout gear...the list goes on and on. I really loved that they had greeting cards and really nice gifts bags for a buck (I didn't notice the prices for the cards). Gift bags are always so expensive so I will definitely be coming here if I ever need one. Noticed a small pet section at this place, I've always missed it at other locations. They had a few plastic food dishes, cool food scoops, cat and dog toys...meow! Oh, all sales are final so make your purchases wisely. There are signs posted by the registers stating this fact....also it says that is how they can manage to keep the prices down. read more

Great store with lots of stuff you would never even think of. All I needed was a new iPhone charger but they had iPhone camera lenses as well which are working out great. Staff and manager were also very friendly and helpful when I had questions about the differences between all the different kinds of iPhone cables. read more

I have heard about 5 below but never been here before. I was pleasantly surprised today when we decided to stop in. There was a large variety of things, many of which were name brand. Check out was quick and the staff was friendly. read more

My new favorite store! Perfect for Christmas shopping on a college students budget. I am already planning on going back!

I love this little store, it has a variety of just about everything I am looking for. Sometimes the things are out of order, but usually from kids throwing things back where they didn't find them. The employees are always jockeying around to fill the needs of the business and that includes cleaning up after a messy customer. The employees are up to date with what's what in the store and are eager to please. It's always a pleasure to go in there. Great job. Keep up the hard work and I'll be a returning customer. :-D read more

Lousy customer service. I walked because I need to know a balance on a card. The manager and employee didnt say one word, and we're busy stuffing their face with chips and popcorn. They just sais my balance. Later when checking out, no thanks. The manager was talking to a customer from behind the counter. Gave zero customer service. read more

By far the worst customer service i have been there today this afternoonand the two elderly white female that works there are very unwelcomy. Both of the elderly kept frowning every time a customer comes inside the store not only that they wont even help you when tou need something . Very lazy employees. The younger ones that work there are much more helpful and friendlier. Management do something about it cause five below is a nice store too bad its getting a bad rep bec. Of the two elderly white female employees. read more

I love this store! This has to be the best idea ever besides Dollar Tree. I love the fact that they get name brand items too. This place is awesome for people of all ages. For the kids they carry a lot of name brand toys, board games, video games for $5 and under. For the teens they carry a lot of makeup, nail polish and girly stuff for the girls. Plus a good selection of novelty t-shirts for both boys and girls. They also carry a good amount of phone accessories, earbuds, tablet cases, etc etc. Nothing is over $5. This is a great place to get some extra birthday or Christmas gifts. I fell in love with this place since reading the reviews early last year 2011. I frequently shop the Bloomingdale and Schaumburg Five Belows both are awesome stores. Great place you really can't be disappointed. I've seen some board games still be $15+ at Target and the same game be at Five Below for $5! How can you seriously beat that? read more
