Five Below is popular for seasonal decor, candy and household trinkets, but did you know you can find household essentials here for less?
Find out which items should make it into your cart on your next Five Below run.
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Rain Water Hand Soap (12.5 oz.)
- Price: $5.00
If you’re used to picking up hand soap elsewhere, you might be surprised to find Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap at Five Below. It’s about the same cost as other stores, so if you’re stopping in at your local Five Below store, it might be more convenient to grab a bottle or two while you’re there.
Reusable Snack Bags (3-Count)
- Price: $3.00
Whether you’re packing lunches or putting away leftovers, having reusable bags can help you keep food fresh while minimizing your impact on the environment. For just $3.00, you can get a 3-pack of reusable snack bags or sandwich bags from Five Below.
Clorox Fresh Scent Disinfecting Wipes (35-Count)
- Price: $3.50
Keeping your home germ-free doesn’t have to be expensive at Five Below. Grab a 35-count of Clorox disinfecting wipes for just $3.50 to wipe down counters, door knobs and other high-touch surfaces to keep germs at bay.
Hydraquench Stainless Steel Insulated Tumbler With Handle (30 oz.)
- Price: $5.00
If your goal is to stay hydrated throughout the day, you don’t have to spend $40 on a Stanley Quencher. Head to Five Below for a more affordable dupe at just $5.00 so you can stay quenched for less.
The Original Scrub Daddy Flex Texture Scrubber
- Price: $5.00
If you love using Scrub Daddy sponges, then you’ll be pleased to find Five Below carries them (including the seasonal variations). If you’re dropping by to grab a treat for yourself or your kids, don’t forget to add this one to your cart.
Pet Training Pads (30-Count)
- Price: $5.00
Getting a new puppy can be a fun (but messy) experience. While your puppy learns what the words “potty” and “outside” mean, you could grab a 25-count of pads from Target for $8.99. Or you could get five more in a pack from Five Below for just $5.00.
