Five Below, where items are always a big bargain
Shelves lined with an assortment of clothing, phone accessories, food, decorations, and other random finds fill the shop, Five Below; a wonderland where nothing is over $5.
“It is practically anything you could ever want all in one place… For kids on a budget, this is the place to go,” senior Brooke Oliver.
In November, Five Below became the newest addition to Sunset Valley, quickly gaining popularity from its good products and even better deals.
“You can find almost anything that you would see at Walmart or Target in one place and in one price range,” Oliver said.
The store beats out a lot competition by selling the same items at up to half the price of other stores.
“I spent like $50 at Target the other day on these nice hangers and then days later, I found the exact same ones at Five Below for only $5. I guess you could say that Target ripped me off,” senior Jason Galarza said.
When students are in need of a quick, cheap buy, Five Below is a great go-to place.
“I needed a phone charger and I got one for only $5. On top of that, its actually works really well. Maybe surprisingly, the items in the store aren’t crappy,” junior Jackson Bayer.
Among the array, there are prodcuts found useful especially to those about to leave home.
“Five Below has desk lamps, shelf organizers, trash cans, hampers; all things that I need for college,” Oliver said. “It is really nice because many seniors don’t have a lot of money to spend on dorm stuff. It’ll be a good place to get things I’ve forgotten – simple but necessary.”
