As prices steadily increase, it often feels like a $20 budget doesn’t go far anymore. But at Five Below, you can get maximum value for $20 in many ways.
Whether you’re getting ready for Valentine’s Day or need some supplies to help get your home organized, here are some of the best ways you can spend $20 at Five Below this winter.
Get Organized
A plastic storage bin ($3.25) can quickly organize your home or office and features handles for easy carrying. To get things up and off of your desk, a wall rack organizer ($5) can hold smaller items while putting your phone at eye level. An over the door storage organizer ($5.55) is a handy way to make the most of unused space. And, you’ll have enough money left over to buy six stackable mini storage bins ($1 each).

Stock Up for the Big Game
Stock up on snack essentials for tailgating or when watching the game at home. For less than $20, you can get Takis Fuego Rolled Tortilla Chips ($4), Pringles ($2.50), Boom Chicka Pop Cinnabon Drizzled Kettle Corn ($4), Bigs Dill Pickle Flavor Sunflower Seeds ($2.50), Andy Capp’s Cheddar Fries ($1.50) and a Tailgating Tumbler ($5) for your favorite beverage.
