I Bought FIVE BELOW Products: Was it All JUNK?!

[@Vivian_Tries]

Tell me what you think of Five Below!

[@klmitchellbrown]

I love five and below I bought all my Christmas presents for my coworkers from there last year

[@ShirlBussman]

Never been there. 😂

[@danielledunne7159]

Maybe no more electric items from there? Idk thanks Vivian

[@danielledunne7159]

Good for rugs, blankets and pillows maybe only lol

[@lindastarr6569]

Stop going going when they was cheaply made

[@whattttf4170]

I can confirm Conair blow dryer longevity. I STILL have mine from high school. I graduated in 1979! My Conair blow dryer still works.

[@Naturalchic3]

Still watching the video, but wanted to agree wholeheartedly: I bought a cheapazoid Conair blow dryer in the late 90s. I still use to this day. They last forever!

[@lisathompson3484]

Totally agree. I just replaced my $15.00 Conair that I had for nearly 15 years, with a new $20 one😊

[@sarahdawn8114]

Shopping at 5 Below is basically “Read the room”… things that can’t get screwed up too much (phone cases, candy, books, art stuff sometimes, basic toys, discounted name brand beauty/home stuff = OK), anything with electricity is going to be way cheaper and flimsy feeling and is too good to be true.

[@Itsunclegabby]

Snacks!!!

[@k_leeanne]

Bug out bags definitely updated since we moved to a high wildfire area 😅. Best new thing?? Drinking water packaged in pouches. It’s like 8 oz per individual pouches, lasts for years unopened, and I stashed them with our bags and the dogs’ bags. I was so excited. My husband was like “what, it’s water….” - fine, see if I give you my extra pouch when all the water is gone!! 😂😂

[@user-xj2yl5sk6u]

This video proves to all of us why we need your channel! I keep seeing the 5 Below commercials for last minute gifts. Glad I watched this video

[@myrabarr7898]

I was at 5 below yesterday, and walked out spending a penny. Btw, TJ Maxx has their Valentine merch out already This is getting insane 😭

[@dianebaugher3919]

Next...bathing suits lol

[@inspiringtone2975]

So does Home goods. A greedy world we live in!

[@emmkaa2099]

Valentine's Day at my Walmart the day before yesterday. 🤦

[@MadAboutBrows]

Dollar.25 Tree was putting vday stuff out today 😂

[@myrabarr7898]

@@MadAboutBrows TJ Maxx and Marshalls also🥵

[@yvonneferguson8575]

These products are well below Vivian Tries usual videos. But the presenter is gorgeous and is not responsible for the poor quality. Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New year to all!!😘😘

[@ericcandelaria2818]

Without you Vivian I wouldn’t even know about five below. I went and found the cutest “fairy” type moon lights and I love them! They have what looks to be a good candy selection.

[@onceuponanexploration6048]

Y that's all I buy- t-shirts and some of the snacks. None of the products.

[@sherriburton7390]

I was a freight manager at 5- Below for 9 year's and unfortunately the company doesn't give any stores proper hour's to run the store correctly. And it's mostly teenagers applying because it's a fun store, the self checkout's are in my opinion the downfall of alot of businesses, A couple would be great for people wanting to check themselves out but we need communication with people and I actually loved my job and interacting with my customers. I left about a year and a half ago and I haven't heard many good comments about the store or products since.

[@Lilsamj1]

A $20 blow dryer from Five Below...that already sounds crazy

[@Vivian_Tries]

You’re right

[@cyoohoos]

Left me wondering what the “5” in 5 below stood for?

[@justsaying6870]

5 stars below average? At least going by the products in this video. 🤔 Wishing everyone a very safe and wonderful Christmas ❄️☃️🎄💝

[@ndburns]

We need a new BUG OUT BAG video, pretty please!!

[@thaismatsumoto]

Sometimes they have great bargains that aren't trash. I bought two full size lava lamps and a glitter lava lamp there for five dollars each. They are plug ins too, which I like since I don't have to replace the batteries or recharge them like the usb ones. They have lasted six years so far. The prices for the exact same ones online are about forty dollars each.

[@tinaboggs5056]

Thank you, Vivian, for exposing 5 below. I will not shop at 5 below. If I refuse to purchase Dollar Tree plus items, why would I shop in an overpriced dollar store?

[@WYCDfoxxxyDragon]

I have the Buzz Lightyear toy. My son is 8 and autistic... He loves it and mine worked, the battery cover was hard to get to though, but once you got it off and the batteries in, it was perfect for my son.

[@lissajedi]

I like my 5 Below. I got cute slippers there, toys for my cats and a carrier, and some cute storage baskets. I always browse the candy/snacks section and books.

[@michellemcguire5379]

Vivian I love your channel! Been a subscriber since the start. You have to audition for comedy. I laugh myself silly every time I watch! You have it all info and humor! Michelle

[@donnamullins2089]

I went to 5 below looking for large inflatable Christmas ornaments and was told at one store they are only available at stores that have been remodeled? Well how do we know that???? What a bummer of bad products. Thanks Vivian. Merry Christmas to you and your family and a very Happy New Year.

[@lynnbabe678]

You can go to their website, and see what store has the item you want in stock so you don't waste time going there. You can also just have it shipped home...they don't have free shipping, but they have flat-rate.

[@bonniethiessen5506]

I thought 5 Below was supposed to be $5.00 & under. Seems like most of the stuff is now $10.00 & up.

[@derekclancy6916]

Vivian, you said something about retiring Five Below from your roster of trying products. Is that what happened to a lot of your as seen on tv products that you used to test? I did notice a lot of those products were cheap and crappy. I think a lot of companies now a days are purposely making there products more cheap and flimsy so they can make more money. Its frustrating especially when the prices keep climbing up and up.

[@veronicaletmeaskyousomethi8457]

I went into my local 5 below because of a video of yours that I saw. It was a brand new store, very clean. I was impressed. It was very well stocked. Plenty staff to help. I saw some of the items you had on your video. What impressed me the most was that there five dollar T-shirts were a pretty good quality, and they fit me. I’m regularly a size 2X, 3X. The T-shirts,comfortable.I figured I’d try the lounge pants… comfortable! Pretty roomy!slippers next. I was very satisfied with all of those purchases. I think I’ll go back to get some mugs for friends.

[@4katrine]

For the longest time, I thought Five Below sold winter clothing, until I saw it in your videos. I went in for the first time a week ago to look for that blow up ornament you showed. The store was dirty and grim and full of really junky stuff. I left without purchasing anything.

[@Naturalchic3]

I thought I was the only one :) I thought it was similar to Burlington Coat Factory until a friend took me there for some silly retail therapy. The shopping experience can vary from store to store, I agree.

[@corinechavez6401]

Big 5 has winter clothing!! But not 5 below

[@GenXfrom75]

Took my son to Five Below for his 10th birthday in August this year. Gave him $40 and he had a freaking blast shopping!!

[@Naturalchic3]

What a sweet idea! They definitely hit the mark for tweens and teens. My kids are in that range and adore the store.

[@texaslovesbama927]

Love Vivian's laugh ❤

[@nette101]

The aroma diffuser has that tube with cotton like material inside, you have to let that soak up some water first so it will work..

[@wjrsb58]

My granddaughters love that place!!!

[@user-tx8sp5hj7e]

Vivian you always make me laugh I luv listening to to you plus I like the reviews 💯

[@crazy4disneypooh]

We like five below for their "weird' food items My kids love the wacky candy and soda.

[@deloreshall5459]

Hey Viv. Bummer bout 5 below. Dont have one near me. Frustrating. Dont let it ruin your holidays.🎁🎅🤶

[@theprestigehumidifier7513]

Five below do not allow refunds unless the package is unopened. So the dryer was just originally like that or someone really concealed that it was opened.

[@dawnamariamiriam]

It's been a little while, but I purchased some earbuds within the last year or so at 5 Below. I was able to go in and do an exchange. Or maybe they gave me store credit? I'm not 100% sure. But I know I was able to do something since they were defective.

[@barbaravaccaro7033]

Some states do not allow a store to refuse to accept returns on nonwor

[@jamiedominy4552]

If you’re short like me, you could also use the foot massager as a booster seat in your car. Turn that bad boy on and ride that ride with a smile.😂

[@katiekate4992]

I buy pet beds there. They aren’t bad and cheap. $5.55 for most of them.

[@cindyherzer6767]

I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year’s

[@Ms.Melanie3]

"It's a vibrator, not a massager." 😂😂 You crack me up! Love you! 💖

[@directorMASC]

We only use 5 below for candy and toys for raffles or parades. 😂

[@trishtrish41]

I did buy their end table that has a built in speaker and I will say, I absolutely love it. The sound is amazing. They also have a canvas print with a speaker in it and that works well also,

[@laurapereiramalone5257]

Oh I was going to buy, buzz the other day, but I’m glad I didn’t.. I got a great roll of Christmas wrapping paper lol!

[@cprodzenski8330]

I'm glad you'll follow through on the candle but I'm not in Instagram. Maybe you can do a video of just things, like the candle, that need additional time.

[@CynthiaSusanOrtiz]

Alopecia saves me a fortune in styling products. I was in two of them yesterday. It's a hit and miss. I found a cute stocking stuffers however.

Never not say fungilitus 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 it kills me every time you say it. Thank you Vivian🙌🏻🫶🏻🎄💯🫚

[@maggiegarber246]

The 5 Below near me doesn’t have much. So I went to a brand new one with lots more items. I won’t go back and I told them that…because they didn’t have cashiers. I am NOT going to self-checkout just so the store can keep from hiring a couple of employees.

[@Lulumuse]

Mine has all self check outs … but for some reason during the holiday season they suddenly don’t work and they have to check you out at the little station up front

[@marianegrete920]

You got That Right! I worked at General Motors for 30 years and was soooo sad to see all the machines coming in to take our Jobs! Now if l go to a Store l demand for a human to check me out! Shame Shame it makes me sick that people don’t care! God Blesd

[@Lady-bug]

I just went once and the headphones that I bought didn't work and didn't even went back to return it. Worst store ever 😒

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

My Dollar Trees have turned to self check out too. I hate it. I want either a discount for working or a paycheck.😉

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

Since when does 5below have cashiers lmfao!!! the 5below that just opened up in my city this year is self check out and the one my dad goes to that is nearby his work that has been around for a hot minute is also self checkout...

[@shelly2094]

Yayyyyy it’s Vivian time! ❤❤

[@barblelliottm9856]

5 Below has great baskets. My favorite place to get them. Good quality. I also get their lounge/pj pants. Great for cleaning

Try taking a little water out of the diffuser.If it is just a little to much water, it will not work .

Sometimes good and not good at times

[@helenbailey9535]

I learned my lesson when I bought a desk fountain from them. The motor was louder than the trickling water, and the rocks even looked plastic. smh

[@pattiy8240]

I bought a few of their board games for gifts, and those were a hit. I avoid electronic devices there.

[@barbaramiller349]

Good grief. What a drag. The ideas are great but the quality resembles Temu. I’m glad I decided not to even try this year. Next.. Merry Christmas Vivian. I hope you have a wonderful holiday! I wish for you and your family, Health, happiness and prosperity! Thank you for always putting a smile on my face and laughter in my heart ❤️💝🎄🎁

HELLO VIVIAN ??? with 5 BELOW but then again I haven't really TRULY thought 2 go in the store! Then here U come U showing these AMAZING INTERESTING DUPES as well so Maybe if I'ma NEAR THERE!!!

[@Ariel-lol]

Yeah 5 below is either a flop or a bop. I have some items from there in my room. I got a tiny rug that I use near my cat bed and made a setup there. With a little hanging fake plant thing. I have some other things that aren’t as good quality. But the posters are always good finds, and I like the little magnets and things. I don’t shop often at 5 below though. That massage thing is funny because I have this place called treasure hunt near me, and it was a 15 dollar day and there was this amazing neck massager that retails around 50-60. It was brand new, nothing wrong with it. All for 15. 😂

[@footballmom6481]

Vivian, where’s your bugout must have videos..? I definitely Need that After watching that movie 😮❤

[@123-ICP]

I did buy a phone case for my iPhone 11 about 3 years ago I think it was, from Five Below. And believe it or not I’m still using it at this moment. And I think I paid like $2.99 for it. Oh and my daughter and I both bought those little keychain size Whoopie cushions. We had So Much Fun with them! Lol Other than that though, I still say that Five Below is like WISH. Still Wish I didn’t go there and spend/waste my money… 😒

[@elegant0896]

I feel you but I'll still buy the items to try them for myself. I still love Five Below.

I just can’t do five below. Walked into one one time and walked out. Love your videos though.❤

When you started talking about the bowl size, you had me laughing and then I started choking on my saliva and my wife that I was gonna die... Had to take a break from your video to regain composure... Ahem.... Okay, thanks for the info... You're too funny!

[@michian100]

Yes Mom, This OLD MOM knows how you feel! My husband and boys gave me many grey hairs. They called me, 'The Worry Wort'. Crazy thing was when I followed their lead, things did not go well!! So I continued to fret😢

[@VivianVenture]

FYI, I saw 3 big orange containers parked right next to my local 5 Below with the logos TEMU stamped on the side of the containers. That itself should tell you a lot about the quality of most products they offer. I personally think they do have some good deals, but be very selective in your purchase decision.

[@Mz.ChanelH]

I am so surprised this happened…😮😮😮 I would be so embarrassed if I gave gifts that did not work. Not cool 5 Below

[@Naturalchic3]

That's my biggest fear! I usually slit the tape and pre-load batteries to test. If it doesn't work, it goes back. Or I stick to non-electronic stuff.

[@beckyray9223]

Like any other store you have to take them with a grain of salt if it seems to good to be true it probably is that goes for all stores I’m sure they have items that are ok use common sense when buying

[@trubabiblu06]

Goose creek candles have a cereal collection n theyre better than b&bw check em out💜

[@lindamusica]

You have to be careful at five below. I bought many things at five below and when they’re broken and they’re not good I return them and I let them know that it’s broken and when I’m shopping at five below, I find broken items on the shelves and I get so mad when I get home and I haven’t checked an item. I find it to be broken so before you leave the five below, I will check up my things and I will check out the seals on the packaging to make sure they haven’t been opened. I’m telling you many times I’ve gotten used products or broken products and I return them. And there’s no problem returning them the problem is the hassle of having to return them.

[@bmom3191]

Oh and PS: last Christmas for my little nieces I got a funnel cake maker. And they have the candies that we had when we were growing up. My husband is addicted to Charleston Chews and my dad loves Mary Jane’s. So they have all kinds of good candy stuff.

[@PDd-ji3qh]

They put a 5 Below at a local shopping center Went there 3 different times( hoping it’s product quality would improve: each time it was a disappointment….. It was ALL junk. Won’t go back & don’t expect the store to stay in business long…. Store is never busy
