Do you have kids?
Do you like shopping??
Do you Love (potentially) saving money???
Well if you Answered YES to at least 2 of the 3 questions above...
Then, Five Below is your Place!
Ok, so I know what you're thinking...
What if I don't have any kids?
Better yet, what if I just don't want any kids??
Don't you worry...You are still gonna love yourself some Five Below.
Ok, before we get into the meat and potatoes...
Let's start from the very beginning.
Adam and his wife Ev...
O.k.... Not that far back.
Circa the late 2,000's when I first came across a Five Below in Oxnard, California.
I saw it as I was passing through the 'Nard right off the freeway and the name of this place intrigued me, but probably like you....
I had no idea what the heck this store was even about.
Fast forward to 2049.....
Whoa!!! Way too far! Back up!!!
Back to 2023...
I FINALLY found myself inside a Five Below store as they opened a location in Thousand Oaks at the Janss Marketplace Mall.
First Impression:
This place is pretty cool!
Second Impression:
Wait, only 5 bucks??? Babe, go get a cart!!!
Third Impression:
Kids! Put that back!! You are only getting one thing!
Yeah, this is my reality.
My kids LOVE Five Below!!!
So much so, that it's become the place we go to reward/incentivize them.
"If you don't clean your room right now, we are not going to Five Below".
Their room: Spotless!!
Imagine the Dollar Store, but better.
(Better items, cooler things, more stuff we don't need)
Yes, some items are 5 bucks, but it's still a steal ;)
Makeup, toys, art supplies, candy, chips, housewares, books, hula hoops... the list goes on!
Looking for a last minute birthday gift?
Need a corky gag gift??
Want to treat your kid for completing a chore???
Come check out five below.
They now even have a section within the store called "Five Beyond" with cool tech items & housewares that are Beyond that five dollar mark, but still a good value for the price.
This section of the store is basically like the High Roller room in a Las Vegas casino ;).
I went in, but it was too rich for my blood so I walked right out. Haha. J/k
In all seriousness, come check out your nearest Five Below store.
Your kids will love it.
You will love it.
Your wallet will love it.
Happy Shopping! read more
