Five Below — which opened its doors in 2002 — is known by budget-friendly consumers for the variety of low-price items — many of them under $5, as its name suggests. The chain now has 1,600 stores in 43 states across the country. From toys to beauty products and from clothes to tech items, pet supplies or candies, Five Below’s wide array of products caters to many consumers.
Here are some items you should buy at Five Below instead of Amazon.
Solar Flare Body Butter 10oz
- Price: $5.00
This is part of the chain’s new line of products, which are very similar to the much hyped — Sol de Janeiro body butters and perfumes line. A Sol de Janeiro body butter will cost you between $22 and $48 on Amazon, however. PassionatePennyPincher explained just how popular these dupes are: “they’re FLYING off the shelves!”
Bluetooth Wireless Typewriter Keyboard
- Price: $10.00
According to The Sun, this item-which has retro aesthetics — quickly went viral and sold out rapidly. A similar item, which The Sun calls a “dupe,” runs for $52 on Amazon.
Hydraquench Tumbler
- Price: $5.55
These are extremely similar to the Stanley tumblers, which went viral a few months ago – reaching eye-popping prices, with some people reselling them for as much as $245, according to Delish.
They retail for $45 on Amazon.
Luxe Collection Sherpa Blanket
- Price: $2.78 to $5.55
As Apartment Therapy explained, many users on social media said that this is a dupe for the much more expensive and super-hyped Barefoot Dreams blanket. That one will cost you $99.88 (on sale) on Amazon.
B.Well Sunrise Alarm Clock
- Price: $10.00
As Business Insider reported, this clock is extremely similar to the Hatch Restore alarm clock, as “this shape and concept appear to be modeled after the Hatch.” You will need deeper pockets for that one, however, as it costs $199.99 on Amazon.
Beach Rubber Tote Bag
- Price: $15.00
This tote bag, available in several colors, is a “near-identical dupe of the popular Bogg Bag that’s six times the price,” according to Parade.
Indeed, a Bogg Bag on Amazon will cost you $96.24 on Amazon.
