This is a discount store, so when you set out to buy something from here make sure the discount version of whatever you buy will still serve it's intended purpose. If that makes sense... With that, this store is perfect for just those things. Picture frames - I go here, vegetable steamer(great cooking aisle), welcome mat, duct tape, dial scale, all great items to get here. They have the best prices on all those things and I don't mind buying second rate stuff when they serve simple, mundane purposes. As long as you play by those rules, this store is the absolute best in the area based on the price and their ability to cram a walmart into a store 1/100th the size. read more

I had a long list of things I needed and I was able to find everything. The place is small and cramped but I've never been to a discount store that isn't. Everything is priced well, will definitely return. Make sure to bring cash. read more

The best around. When my parents visited from out of town they loved this place so much they kept finding reasons to go back. It's a nearly one stop shop for everything you need. they have a nice range of cheap to high quality stuff. read more

I'm glad I found the few things I needed at home here, so I would say that for the prices and the location, Save on Fifth is actually a pretty good place to find random household odds and ends that you might need - cheap brooms, coffee pot, sponges, kitchen items, and other knick-knacks. Expect full and cluttered (almost overflowing) shelves, dusty corners, and crowded aisles though! read more

They almost always have the random things I need. It's cheap and there is variety. Great for household items and hardware store type items. I come here for my garden goods as well. read more

Favorite discount store in the neighborhood. With a great staff- that is super helpful. Awesome place for things like fans, shower curtain liners, tupper wear and lightbulbs. read more

Who needs Target when you have this place? These staff is super friendly, the prices are unbeatable and the place is huge.

Ok, so I agree with most of the posts here. Items are not always the best quality in the universe, BUT I can buy a ton of stuff there for not a lot of money and still get my monies worth. Example, I needed a sand up dust-pan. Solution - Save On Fifth for my industrial size stand up model at the great price of $5.98. It's working out fine, I would have paid three times as much if I had gotten the same style from another store. Hanes socks? No problem! Sewing notions? Halloween costumes? Umbrellas? Hardware items? No problem!! I am not crazy about every part of this store, but I get what I need at a decent price and I've even had the chance to hear my child singing holiday songs over the microphone. Where else can that happen while I'm shopping for kitchen stuff?? Come on! read more

I love shopping at this store. They have everything one could want for the apartment, and at excellent prices!

They have just what you need, as long as you don't mind digging around for it. A lot of the little do-dads and whats-its aren't the best but you get what you pay for here, and at a heavy discount it is what it is. read more

They have EVERYTHING! It's so bizarre to go in and find exactly what you need. I've been going there for years. Seasonal merchandise is awesome - great holiday stuff, summer fans and water guns (when you have a kid, start here first!). And - for you nostalgia buffs - they sell those pink rubber handballs. My son has owned zillions of them. Who can't use one? Love the kitchen/bathroom aisle. It's an amazing place and their service and merchandise array explain why they're still going strong in Park Slope when other small merchants fail. read more

This store can be a little difficult to navigate because different products are packed quite densely, plus there always seems to be some kind of shelving happening in some isle that may force you to squeeze past employees or find alternate routes to your destination. That said, the prices are really great, and the people who work here are truly attentive, helpful, and courteous, so much so that I tend to think of the navigational difficulties as merely part of its charm. read more

My favorite store in Brooklyn! They have *everything* you need for your home, apartment, shed, whatever. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly. I love Save On Fifth! read more

I find myself shopping here two or three times a week for "stuff." The staff does greet you when you walk in but I have no problem with that. Greeting someone when they walk in to a store usta be called customer service! Every once in a while I have had to return something.. including a tea kettle that looked great but the enamel finish discolored after one use... and yes I put water in it before I put it on the stove. read more

Great service, but seriously, these guys have EVERYTHING! Just be sure to ask them where to find it, they help!

Warning !,This place calls itself a 'discount center' but don't be fooled ! Constant pricing errors .. Even when pointed out are never corrected. Greedy owners wouldn't even honor a slight discount recently when I tried to purchase a costly floor fan ($79), the owner discovered they had only one left - floor model. When I was told there was no box nor instructions nor warranty, they were willing to sell it with NO discount.and no warranty !, Greed at its worse . Go to DII on 5 th/9 th or 'true' dollar stores up in mid teens on 5 th ave. But do yourself a favor.. ' save yourself the bother' and stay clear of ' Save on Fifth' !! BTW.. Just read Emily S's post here.. Wow !, These guys are buying shoody offshore cheap models ( therefore NOT actually made by name manufacturer) and passing it off as real thing. I just checked the LASKO fan model # of fan I was going to buy from.these con artists for price comparison .. Not only is there NO SUCH model made by them.. The unit price listed for REAL item.was $ 20,cheaper at Target and Overstock ! They're overcharging for bootleg and knockoff crap - RUN don't walk away from.these unsavory bandits ! read more

No kidding: this is my favorite store. You can find just about anything you need here. They have enough of a selection so that you can find a cheap version of what you are looking for, but also a higher quality, slightly more expensive version. Whenever I need anything, I look there first and usually find it. Bonus: they are a few doors down from Leopoldi's Hardware Store - another gem. read more

Friendly and target-rivaling prices. They have everything there except pizza and insurance policies.

So they don't have everything, and their prices aren't unbelievable, but this place is a good standby for those little things you need every once in awhile. A mop bucket. A lightbulb. Stove cleaner. I wouldn't buy anything expensive or off-brand from here since it seems a little shady, but they have a knack for having what I need. Compare this to the Target at Atlantic Terminal that has about a million times more shelf space but somehow less useful merchandise. Need I say more? read more

Warning! Don't be fooled by variety and cheap prices of items. But most - don't believe your eyes. Brand names you trust are all fake here, quality is soo poor. Worst thing is, is that regardless of their store return and exchange policy you won't get your money back. Their manager Rajon will talk to you extremely politely,but suggest to come back to talk to another manager." who will help you", but won't give you the name of the " right manager". Save yourself from hassle,go to 99c store or buy real stuff,even if you spend a bit more. read more

Great store for misc. stuff. Most of it probably isn't great quality, but it's not overpriced either. The staff are all helpful and they seemed to have a little bit of everything (think of a mini-WalMart for the not natives). I mostly go there for things like kitchen utensils, storage containers, gardening basics (soil, plastic pots), and seasonal things. read more

Very convenient option for housewares and the various things you need for your apartment but forgot to get at Target. Convenience trumps quality here but it's more than sufficient in a pinch. read more

I wish every discount store was as good as Save on 5th. I love this place!

Love this place. Super helpful. Great prices. They have just about everything you need in housewares, toys, stationery.

This is a bad establishment. They are not kind to their employees or customers who return on the same day, literally 15 min after purchase.

I have come up with excuses to drag my boyfriend here and buy things I certainly do not need. I love this place! And the people are friendly, helpful and enjoyable. I have never been followed around. I come here for things like soap, and pillows. I expect everything to function like the price (Low) but the products usually exceed my (low) expectations. Better than Deals and Discounts to me! read more

I love this place. As homeowners there is always some little thing you need and in unison we say, "Go to Save on 5th." I tout it as our very own mini Wal-Mart within walking distance. I mean that in a good way: low cost, value items in stock. They almost always carry the small houseware item we want. They have Casabella products, a brand I favor. I find them helpful and appreciate that the people who manage and who work there know where things are so I can quickly get what I need and go. They get to know you and appreciate your business. read more

OMG, this would be a good place to find cheap stuff but the staff is really intrusive and obsequious. I'm 50 years old and as soon as I walked in the door, the guy at the front desk said, "Hello young lady...you are looking so young!" Well, I was extremely offended because by calling out me looking young, he might of well said he was trying to make an old lady feel good by calling me young. It was jarring and I felt bad and I left with the intention of never shopping there again. Imagine, you are a middle aged woman and as soon as you walk into a store, some guy who owns the place who obviously has no customer service savvy, shrieks out age-ist crap. Plus, right behind me, a middle aged guy walked in, and the store owner addressed him as "sir." So if you are a woman "of a certain age" don't go to this store or you will feel put down. When I left, I felt angry and insulted. Before I walked in there, I was having a good day. The people who own this store definitely need to attend a customer service seminar. They also need to treat women with as much respect as they treat men. A simple 'how can I help you?" is sufficient. However, after my humiliating experience there about my age, I will never go back. I don't care how much junk they have for cheap prices. read more
