They went out of business and changed names to do on line auctions. I'll miss the 1/2 price foods but over the years the product selection has gotten less good and harder to find a deal. read more

This use to be a great place to find bargains $5 or less. Sometime in 2023 they all closed shop and became a different business selling larger Amazon items for more money. I miss the $5 store read more

Not at all what I was expecting. The bins were full of absolute junk that was unusable. Perhaps we went at the wrong time? I later learned you have to go right when they bring out new stuff and then there are scars of people fighting over things. However, that would mean that there's rarely ever product worth selling so it doesn't seem right that they should call this a store. Maybe more of a flea market set up? Not my idea of a good time. Overall: This may work for someone else but not for me. read more

I'm on the verge of 3 - 4 stars, but I'll be generous today. The previous reviewer lays out all the rules, so I'll just describe my experience here: You have to dig through all the bins yourself, and all the bins are mostly completely random. Your visit really depends on your luck and what you're trying to find. I walked out with good deals on two items - ursa major skin care and $5 for 3 universal adapters. It's definitely a drive from Nashville, but if you have some spare time or are passing through, I'd give it a try! Neat concept for getting refurbished/returned items at an awesome price! Pro tip - baby wipes at the check out counter if you're a germaphobe. read more

The Lebanon store has gotten out of control. The staff in charge have different rules from weekend to weekend. There is not a set time to receive a ticket to line up. Friends of friends who are there every weekend jump line get tickets early even though the rules are posted on the window. I was treated ugly by another shopper and nothing was done. It not a safe place on restock day. Too many people in chaos and not made to follow the rules because they change weekly. I've been going to gimme5 for over 2 years but I do not ever plan on going back to that location. Favoritism is apparent from some staff members to customers. I will say Ben and Sam actually are very nice and try their best to keep it safe. The Cookeville Store is my favorite. Management there are consistent and fair. read more

I was just stopped at the door this morning and was told my children could not come in before 10am. There are signs on the door stating that you shop at your own risk. They are not responsible for injury. So I know very well that I would not hold them accountable for my children being hurt. If they cannot have better control on the crowd in there then they shouldn't be able to control who does or does not come in the store. read more

If you haven't heard of Gimme A 5 then you're missing out! What is Gimme A 5? Gimme A 5 is a store which carries all the returns/refurbished/damaged items from Amazon. They literally sell items ranging from food to fitbit to laptops to tablets to kitchen items to decorations to kindles and the list goes on and on. It's literally everything and anything you can find from Amazon.com. Now- even though some of them are returned items, MOST of them work perfectly fine and are in great condition! I have found a cellphone, a fitbit, a microphone that costs $200, and a kindle. How does it work? They restock their merchandises every 4 days. On restock day, you have to pay a ticket to get to the store first. There are three groups. First group gets to shop for the first two hours and the ticket is $20, second group is $10, and the third is $5. On the restock day, everything costs $5! The next day it costs $3, then the day after it's $1, and last day is $0.25. I am obsessed with this place. I pretty much go every restock day. When you purchase your ticket on a restock day, they assign you a number to stand in line so you don't have to get there early. Make sure you are there on time though. They have bins after bins of items. I like that they limit the number of people that can come in to the store during restock days because it could get crowded. The people that work here are really nice and I haven't encountered anybody with a bad attitude. I've probably gone 7-9 times. One thing though, since most of them are in boxes, they don't allow you to open them. However, staff is there to help you so if you want to see the inside of a box, just ask one of the workers and they'll gladly open it for you. It makes sense because they don't want people to open them and not put it back properly. I've seen plenty of empty boxes before. Other Locations They just opened another location in Gallatin which I'm really excited about! The Lebanon location has shopping carts. The Gallatin location does not. So make sure you bring a big bag that can hold heavy items when you come here. Also, bring gloves! They do provide it though if you forget it. Your hands do get dirty. They also have another location which only sells clothing in the public square in Lebanon. It works the same way as their regular merchandising store. You really need to check this place out if you want DEALS! Awesome store! I'm so glad they thought of this idea! read more

Had a great experience! Yes you need time and patience here. Yes you have to dig and will get warm while doing so. You need to know what to expect before going! I got 5 bathing suits all new with tags for .25 each! I went on $1 days and got work pants and shirts! Also got a brand new waist trainer for $1! The staff was so friendly and helpful! Jewell the manager was fantastic! I'll be back just because of her great customer services!! read more

My wife and I were very excited to go to the Gimme a 5 in Lebanon TN. We've been waiting for a free weekend day to go there and we finally had one come up. We were there at 9 am on Saturday 3/23/19. As soon as we had gotten to the door a female employee guarding the front door asked us if we were coming in and we said yes. We had our 7 month old daughter strapped to my wife's chest. No stroller. No car seat. Not in the way. She said no kids allowed before 10AM. It was 50 degrees out and chilly. We weren't going to wait for an hour, and since she was rude, we left. We are not going back. Here's the policy on their website shown below. "No children under the height of 5 feet, no strollers, and no carriers between the hours of 8 am - 10 am, This rule is for their safety, there will be 200+ people in this building it is not an environment suited for them. If you are an adult (that means you are not a child) under the height of 5 feet you will still be permitted to enter." Not.Coming.Back. Ever. read more

01/30/19 Today they intentionally kept doors locked for over five minutes after 10:00 AM. (opening time 10:00 AM.), despite it being below 27 degrees with chill factor below 18 degrees. Also there was no apology or reason stated other than they just did not desire the door unlocked... The most hateful employees I've ever observer at a business. I'm speculation it was just a case of discrimination, as all the customers waiting to get in were light skinned and most were male and the employees are not. read more
