6 Name-Brand Items You Should Always Buy at Five Below

There are certain name brands it pays to buy at specific retailers. Chances are the most enthusiastic Five Below shoppers already buy these name brands exclusively at the discount retailer — and if they don’t, they know to add them to their next shopping list to save money.

GOBankingRates carefully reviewed some of the biggest name brands available at Five Below and the items sold by these brands that cost a lot less to buy there than at another competing retailer. Do you also shop for these six name-brand items at Five Below?

• Price: $5

Five Below has an impressive inventory of affordable CoverGirl beauty products for sale, including bronzer, eyeshadow and mascara. 

We picked the CoverGirl cheekers blush, which retails for $5 at Five Below. Shopping elsewhere can mean spending up to a few dollars more. The same blush brand has a regular listed price of $6.99 on Amazon and $6.29 at CVS Pharmacy.

• Price: $1

At first glance, it may not appear as though Five Below is the cheapest place to buy a 24-pack of Crayola crayons. Its $1 price tag seems a little more expensive than big-box retailers like Walmart and Target, which price their crayons at $0.50.

That’s also reflective of each store’s current sales price. The same crayons are originally $1.44 at Walmart and $1.49 at Target. Regardless of seasons or sales, Crayola crayons stay locked in at $1 per box at Five Below.

• Price: $1.50

Fans of Trolli candy know they’re saving money when they shop for Trolli sour brite crawlers at Five Below. 

Each 3.4-ounce bag of gummy candy costs $1.50. It’s a price tag that Walgreens tries to beat with the same gummy candy brand priced at $1.69 per bag, but it doesn’t quite get there.

• Price: $3.50

Wet Ones is one name brand that’s always worth shopping at Five Below. 

Shoppers can add to cart 40-count containers of face and hand wipes for just $3.50 each, or they can take advantage of travel-friendly, 20-count wipes for $3 per sleeve.

• Price: $5

Five Below has plenty of sunscreen and aloe vera available to shop from the Banana Boat brand. We recommend picking up the Banana Boat aloe and vitamin E cooling after sun gel — and not just because it’s still pretty hot outside. 

Shoppers pay only $2.50 for an 8-fluid-ounce bottle of after sun gel. The same gel brand, and sizing, retails for $4.99 at Target. Five Below shoppers could buy two bottles of Banana Boat for the same price they’d pay for a single bottle at Target — a pretty cool deal indeed.

• Price: $5

Consider this your go-ahead to start shopping for Sharpies at Five Below. Sharpie color markers are $5 for an eight-count package.

This is a lot less than what shoppers would pay at Amazon for a similar eight-pack of Sharpie markers. Considering that the original listed price on Amazon is $14.67, Five Below shoppers save nearly $10 picking up their Sharpies at the discount retailer.
