6 Best Expensive-Looking Things You Can Buy at Five Below

If you’ve shopped at Five Below, you know that you can find plenty of great budget-friendly bargains within its aisles. Every now and then, you can even stumble upon some luxe-looking gems for less.

If you’re game for finding these treasures, you can potentially save a ton of money — especially if you’re shopping for typically expensive home decorating items or clothing and accessories. 

From luxury throw pillows to bomber jackets, here are six things you can buy at Five Below that look expensive.

A pile of luxury throw pillows can add an impactful decorative element to your sofa or bed. However, if you’ve shopped for luxury throw pillows at places like Target or At Home, you know they can easily cost $20 to $30 each, which can quickly bust your budget.

At Five Below, you can find an assortment of affordable luxury throw pillows to suit anyone’s style. Choose from fabrics like faux fur or dip-dye plush or shop for a plush pillow shaped like a succulent or croissant as a fun conversation piece. At $5.55 each, you can afford to load up on these.

When you’d rather not walk around the house in socks or barefoot, slippers are always a comfortable option. At Five Below, you can pick up closed-toe suede slippers in women’s shoe sizes 6 to 11 for only $5 each.

Even more women’s and men’s slippers are available at Five Below in a wide assortment of styles and sizes. Pro tip: Check the clearance section. Sometimes slippers available at clearance prices can cost as little as $2.50 a pair.

David Bakke of Dollar Sanity said, “If you’ve ever checked out The Container Store, you know that storage carts, boxes, and crates are generally expensive.”

Sometimes you don’t need just a storage solution, you need one that looks good too. So instead of the standard white or black, these Five Below collapsible crates also come in purple and mint colors and just for $5.55 each.

Woven storage bins can help you stylishly display or store items like magazines, paperwork and art supplies, but it’s not always worth it if you have to pay $10 or $30 for each one.

Opt for a woven storage bin from Five Below for $5.55. Available in gray or black, these bins help keep surfaces organized and clutter free and can be used in most rooms in your home.

Giving off a vintage vibe without the super pricey price tag, Five Below’s brown bomber varsity jacket is a cozy and fashionable addition to your closet that’s perfect for layering and adding interest to your fall and winter outfits.

While the jacket is not $5, like many of the retailer’s items, it’s still a modest $10. That’s cheap enough to buy one for yourself and someone else who would appreciate it.

Although they might not look like much on their own, you can use these three-packs of mini potted faux plants to make a statement in your kitchen or office space. And at $5.55 per pack, you’ll save a decent amount of money. A similar set of faux plants from Target’s Room Essentials brand would cost you $10 for the trio.
