Has anyone heard of this store? It may be a US only store but I am not sure. On our way to go walking last weekend, my friend made me stop into this store. It was weird but interesting.
Everything there is $5 or less - with a lot of $2 and $3 items as well. Kind of like a more upscale Dollar Store I guess.
This doesn’t seem like a store where you go looking for specific things like you might at the Dollar Tree. It has a random assortment of clothes and shoes (mostly hats, scarves and mittens that I saw and a few pairs of shoes), a lot of random toiletry and bath/shower items (I resisted to buy the bath Bombs), a giant candy section and some electronics related things as well (phone cases etc). Also a rather large selection of toys.
It was my first time in this store - I bought some incense (I don’t even burn incense so not sure why, but it smelled really good!), and two single use lavender face masks just for fun (total: $4).
Have you ever been to this store?

No, we don't even have a dollar store on Oahu any longer. Hope they both come to Hawaii soon to help stretch our budget.

I really don't know...when they open they stay for a year or 2 and then close up. We really need one on Oahu too.

When I was on holiday in the US I did visit shops that had 2 dollar and one dollar items. There was a special section for them.

@maezee I bought a whole lot of give 'aways'. Everyone expects gifts when one returns from a foreign holiday (lol)

I wonder how long that store will last. Be careful what you buy, some of them may not even new.

@Letranknight2015 @maezee Five Below has been open for a long time, with over 700 stores in the US. Everything they sell is brand new, nothing used. I've been shopping there for many years.

We just got one and I have not went yet. I mailed your package off today, I got to apply the tracking to the site.

No, I have never been, but my daughter in law says her girls would like gift cards there for Christmas.

We go now and then maybe a few times a year. Describing it as a more upscale Dollar store is a good way to picture it. I can get most the things in this store lower proceed some where else but sometimes I just go to browse and find some unique items.

We have one close by and although it isn't a store I'd frequent but my grandchildren love it.

Yes, a bunch of times. Both here, and when at my boyfriends in another state. Have bought everything from candy and toys to backpacks and shirts.
