“Five Below — The Store Where I Go for “One Thing” and Leave With 47 Items I Definitely Didn’t Need
Five Below is basically the Costco of small stuff — you walk in for a phone charger and suddenly you’re debating whether you also need a mini disco ball, neon slime, scented markers, a yoga mat, and a pack of inspirational socks that say “You Got This.” (You do. But not for $5. Yes for $5? Absolutely yes.)
This place has everything. Candy? Enough to single-handedly rebuild a childhood. Tech gadgets? Half of Lakewood’s chargers probably started their career here. Toys? Let’s just say if you bring a kid inside, you better have the emotional stamina of a Navy SEAL.
Prices are amazing — dangerously amazing. Every time I shop here, I hear a little voice in my head saying, “Relax, it’s only $5,” which is exactly how you end up with a cart that looks like you’re preparing for a science fair, a carnival, and a road trip all at once.
The store is organized chaos in the best way. You’ll find items you didn’t even know existed, like glow-in-the-dark mini basketball hoops, puffy notebooks, squishy animals, and earbuds that will work beautifully for exactly seven days — but they’re $5 so we don’t complain, we celebrate.
Checkout is fast, staff is friendly, and they somehow never judge me for buying things clearly meant for 12-year-olds. Bless them.
Bottom line:
Five Below is the happiest trap in Howell. Enter at your own risk and don’t say I didn’t warn you. Five stars for turning me into a kid every single time.”
“Great to be able to visit a Hallmark store since there are only a few actually left in upstate NY. We were even able to purchase a couple items that we have been looking for”
“Amazing Savings in Howell is basically the Beis Hamikdash of bargains. You walk in “just for a minute,” and suddenly it’s an hour later, the wagon is full, and you’re trying to chap how this all started with “I only need one plastic tablecloth for Shabbos…”
They mamash have everything – dishes, toys, snacks, crafts for the kids, party supplies, random things you didn’t know exist but now are chiyuvim for your home. It’s the kind of place where you meet half the neighborhood in the aisle and end up farhering each other on who found the better deal.
The prices are classic “Amazing Savings style” – you look at the tag and say, “Nu, for this price, take two, it’s a mitzvah.” Perfect for stocking up before Yomim Tovim, last-minute birthday presents, or when the Rebbetzin decides the whole playroom needs ‘organizing bins’ right now.
Store is spacious, aisles are well stocked, and the staff are friendly and patient even when you’re shlepping three carts and asking a million questions. For heimishe families looking to stretch the budget without giving up on nice things, this location is a must-know address. Five stars – and a strong hazard: “I’m just running into Amazing Savings for five minutes” is the biggest bubbe maiseh of all time.”

“I have been going in looking for Dumplings for a few weeks. Every time I came in Nicholas Lardieri was there smiling, and willing to help anyone that walked in the door. Always a warm smile and friendly tone. He even told me about something similar to Dumplings to hold my kids over. Without his input I would not have known about the other toy that made my kids equally happy.”
“I called beforehand and Terry made sure to hold my items for me. He was super polite and one of the nicest employees I've have an encounter with, would definitely shop again just for that experience with Terry.”
“I love 5 Below overall but the prices are starting to get expensive even here. There are tons of things that aren't actually 5 or below like they used to be. But the stores great and they have a big selection. The kids love coming here for all the candy and toys.”
