Five Below — Local services in Buena Park

FIRST TIME VISIT APRIL, 2022WORTH THE READ FOR NEWCOMERS. PIX WILL BE ADDED TO SHOW PRICING*I only found this store by watching a DIY Crafting video. The person had said they purchased supplies at 5 Below so I searched & found one in Buena Park on La Palma. I was excited to check out a large store full of items $5 and Below, just as the store advertises. Walked in and so far 5 Below was just that, $5 and below. As I walked around I began to see numerous items at $5.55 and then some $6, $7 and all the way up to $10. What is going on? Pretty soon the false advertising was crystal clear. They get you in the store, with their 5 Below promise, then drop the bomb. While checking prices, I found many of their items are sold at Dollar Tree for $1 or $1.25 depending on the store.

She finally narrowed it down, with quite a bit of help from me, to a pink stuffed unicorn. She is very happy with her purchase and now carries it around with her almost everywhere. Really pleasantly surprised with the variety and quality of the merchandise and the employees were all friendly, several of them greeted us as we came in and walked around the store. My husband also just bought a portable charging bank there, you cannot...

Interesting store. Saw an ad on our social media feed. Different from 99 cent or dollar places. Some pleasant surprises like current books on the internet that were full price. Here they were $5 here. Wow! We ended up buying three things we needed. The check out process was a bit weird, though. They had 5-7 self checkout kiosks. However only two were in working order. Plus, the associates insisted on helping us scan and pay. Don't get the reason for that. They acted like customers had never seen a self checkout. Maybe they were just bored from standing around and...
