Five Below is one of those places you really shouldn't overlook. I stopped in recently and ended up…read morefinding a great book in their book section for just $5--it's a calming anxiety workbook that actually walks you through exercises. I took it over to Starbucks afterward and worked through a few pages, and it was exactly what I needed. What I love about Five Below is the variety. You can find a little bit of everything--headphones, toys, home décor, seasonal items, and even practical things like birthday cards, gift bags, wrapping paper, and bows. It's honestly a one-stop shop for a lot of everyday needs without spending a lot. The store is always stocked with fun and useful finds, and the prices make it easy to grab what you need (and a few extras) without breaking the bank. Definitely don't sleep on Five Below--worth checking out every time.

I've visited this Five Below location multiple times, but today's experience was disappointing…read more I brought my son in to use a birthday gift card--he was excited to pick out stuffed animals, so we took our time shopping. When we finally went to check out, the associate (a young man with his hair in twist or dreads) didn't greet us and immediately started scanning items without saying anything. My son is on the spectrum and likes to be involved, so he kept saying he wanted to scan the items himself. I asked the associate when they started scanning items for customers, and his response was short and not very friendly--he said it's "always been like that." His tone felt unwelcoming, especially given the situation. What made it more uncomfortable was that he stood very close, watching us as if we were going to steal something, even though there was no line. My son is very particular and likes to bag items himself for a sense of independence, and I wasn't going to interrupt that moment for him. To make things more confusing, once we left and got to the car, I noticed other customers going up to checkout--and he did not scan their items for them. Overall, the experience felt inconsistent and unwelcoming. If you're going to have employees--especially younger staff--there should be better training on customer service, tone, and how to interact with families and children.

At first I thought that this store was going to be similar to the store that the leading female…read morecharacter plays in The 40 Year Old Virgin, you know where you come into the store and they help you sell your products on ebay. So, I was turned off before I entered, because of this false impression. I was wrong! Actually this is a convenient little store that you can drop your products off after selling them and they will handle the delivery. Like a UPS except exclusively for Ebay. The clerk was very helpful in explaining this to me and the prices aren't ridiculous so I will check it out when I need to deliver something.

In my opinion, that is ok, as long as all the fees are transparent. However, the store staff didn't mention that the store charges four times the USPS rate for ground shipping. Given that the store charges very high shipping fees and keeps the whole amount, the effective commission is much higher than advertised, particularly for the less expensive items. For example, I ended up getting $18 for an item that sells for $55 at eBay.

Review for Charlotte Premium Outlets…read more After relocating to Charlotte from the San Francisco Bay Area, I've kept my same philosophy about shopping: retail prices are optional if you're willing to do a little homework. I'm always looking for quality and value without paying unnecessary markups, and this outlet center has been a very reliable place to find both. I needed professional clothing, shoes, and luggage for work, so I made the drive out here--and I found everything I needed in one trip. One of my best purchases was a beautiful piece of luggage from Travelpro at a great price. Many of the stores also offer additional discounts if you sign up for their rewards programs, which can make the savings even better. Stores I frequent most: * Banana Republic * J.Crew * Ann Taylor * LOFT * Saks Off 5th * Old Navy (very large location with great basics) * Le Creuset -- always fun to browse, even if just window shopping If you have the time to look carefully and shop strategically, you can really find high-quality items here at excellent prices. My personal shopping strategy: * I avoid weekends whenever possible * I park near the Saks entrance, especially along the back row where it's easier to remember where you parked * I shop during off-hours for a calmer, more efficient experience Parking overall is plentiful, and the layout is easy to navigate once you learn your preferred entry point. Another thing I appreciate is the atmosphere. In my experience, the staff across stores have been knowledgeable, polite, and helpful. The overall vibe feels practical and approachable--people are there to shop, not to show off. There are also plenty of restaurants and fast-casual options nearby, so it can easily become a full outing. If you're planning a larger shopping trip, using store hold or will-call services can be a smart way to keep your purchases secure while you continue browsing. As someone who pays attention to value and cost of living, I've found shopping in North Carolina--and the Southeast in general--to be refreshingly affordable compared to the West Coast. That difference alone makes places like this especially worthwhile. Bottom line: Easy parking, strong value, and a wide selection of reliable brands. If you shop strategically and avoid peak times, this outlet center can be a very productive and enjoyable place to find quality items at fair prices.

However, I do like the variety of stores and in my case the only osh kosh and carter kids clothing stores in the area. There are multiple parking lots so finding a space has never been an issue. I came during thanksgiving/christmas and the decorations are very nice. They have signage for a variety of holiday events happening (pics of your dog and Santa etc). There is a food court, shake shack, and Starbucks. My kids love the small play structure. It is very small and probably only entertaining for kids 4 and younger. I appreciate the clean bathrooms inside the food court- especially the family restrooms which has a small toilet for kids.

I recently visited this Nordstrom Rack location after moving to Charlotte, and overall, it was a…read moresolid experience. Nordstrom Rack has always been one of my favorite places to shop. I used to work at a full line Nordstrom years ago, so I know quality when I see it. That's why I love the Rack because you can always expect good brands at better prices than you'd find at the full line store. To some people, Nordstrom Rack still feels a little pricey for a discount store, but you really have to compare it to the original full line price tags. I live in the NoDa area, and I will say this location was a bit farther out than I expected, about 25 minutes from my house. I was honestly surprised that there isn't a Nordstrom Rack closer to the city. This one is more on the outskirts, which is fine, but it does make quick trips or exchanges a little less convenient. Yes, you can return items at the full line Nordstrom, but sometimes you just want to browse and see what's new. Parking here was easy, and the store itself was clean and well organized. Coming from Houston and then Florida, I wasn't used to seeing so many coats in stock, so that actually caught my attention. They had a big winter selection, and I ended up leaving with a super cute trench coat, a puffer jacket, and a couple of other cold weather pieces since I know Charlotte winters are going to be colder. The staff was about as friendly as you'd expect at a Nordstrom Rack, but they moved quickly, and the checkout line wasn't long. Overall, this location was consistent with the other Nordstrom Racks I've been to. No surprises, just the usual dependable Rack experience. I'd definitely return.

I didn't feel like I was getting much of a discount. There's a sign that states no picture taking of merchandise, I get it, basically you're only saving $1 or 2, when if you bought it at the store the food would be further away from the expiration date. Taking pictures would show proof of that. In my picture you see a Rao's marinara sauce at Walmart for 6.98, it was 6.99 at Bargain Max. Again the people are nice! But the prices just aren't what I consider a bargain.

I grabbed a random Old Navy bag I had at the house that would fit all the toys; doesn't mean I'm trying to cheat someone. Even so, it would end up being a store credit so I'll still be spending money to get what my son actually will play with or use.

This location recently opened. I was surprised to see items already on Reduced/Clearance. And I got them! I came looking for items I needed for a new project. And I wasn't disappointed. Only downside is that it appeared not to have name brand clothing or perfume like Ross. I could be wrong but that's what I noticed. I did see some name brand shoes. There was a security guard in the store just like I've seen at other Ross stores. I overheard the cashier saying they are hiring on the spot. I will most definitely return because the closest Ross to my home is 9.5 miles away. This store is less than 6 miles away from my home.
