Variety Stores near Howell, NJ

“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.”

“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.”

“Love this five below! Jennifer is extremely personable and professional, and so helpful (she helped me today Incase there’s more than one!) I had a huge order and she assisted me with bringing things out which she didn’t have to do but that extra step sets her apart. She’s amazing!”

“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.”

“They had great candy for cheap easy prices and whenever they had a super long line they would do a great job at lowering it as fast as they could and while I was at the mall I whent back a couple times to try and get more things great store cheap priced”

“Expensive for a dollar store. The owner wasn't the nicest in the world. The aisles were cramped, and some of the items I bought were leaking after I got home. Not the best experience ever, but not too bad if you need something last minute”

“I personally shop there frequently for vinyls, dvds, and cds. They have a pretty great and organized selection with different genres and workers with a lot of knowledge. Most of the times I’ve visited I always seem to get the same people, who are very welcoming and helpful. I also have their membership, reading all these reviews, the reviewers seem to leave actual information out, if you listen to what they are actually saying, you won’t have problems, if you do, they are easily fixable if you follow directions. Overall, great store, great workers, and a clean environment.”
