CoverGirl Cheekers Blush
-
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.

Crayola Crayons
-
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.

Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers
-
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.
Wet Ones Sensitive Skin Face and Hand Wipes
-
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.
Banana Boat Aloe and Vitamin E Cooling After Sun Gel
-
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.

Sharpie 4+4 Assorted Color Markers
-
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.
