7 BEST ITEMS TO BUY AT FIVE BELOW THIS FOURTH OF JULY

Five Below got its name because everything in the store used to cost $5 or less — but times have changed, and just like dollar stores, the name hasn’t kept pace with inflation. Today, you’ll find merchandise selling for up to $25 at the discount retail chain, but there are still some great buys that can be yours this Independence Day for a Lincoln or less.

From the grill to the pool to the yard to the table, Five Below has you covered this Fourth of July with affordable yet awesome items that will brighten up your cookout, picnic, backyard party or family hangout while getting you in the red, white and blue patriotic spirit of the holiday.

Inflatable Cornhole Game

• Price: $5

Cornhole has emerged as a must-have backyard barbecue game — and thanks to Five Below, you can play either on land or in the water. The red, white and blue set — which includes an inflatable target board, a repair sticker and waterproof bean bags — is meant for indoor or outdoor use, both in the pool and out. If you can spring for two, $10 buys you competitive head-to-head team action.

Inflatable Pool Float Flag Cooler

• Price: $4

Keeping with the themes of flags, fun and inflatables, Five Below has an Americana-themed cooler that lets you swap empty drinks for full ones without getting out of the pool. The red, white and blue inflatable cooler keeps drinks cold while you lounge in your pool float and reach when you’re ready to refresh this July Fourth.

Giant Yard Pong Game

• Price: $5

Yard pong is based on a classic beer-based party game — only it’s bigger and it takes place on the grass instead of a ping-pong table. The set includes six buckets (made to look like Solo cups, naturally), a three-inch diameter ball and a net bag. Just like cornhole, those with $10 to spend can double up and go head-to-head with a second set — one red and one blue with a white ball to keep with the Independence Day theme.

Barbecue Tool Set

• Price: $5

If you’re hosting a cookout or looking for a small but functional gift for someone who is, Five Below has a three-piece barbecue tool set that’s perfect for any backyard grillmaster. The set includes a large cooking fork, tongs and a spatula. Made from wood and metal, they’re sturdy and ready to handle the cookout heat before they return to their zippered storage and carrying case.

The Founding Documents

• Price: $5

Between the hot dogs and cold lemonade, the meaning of Independence Day has a way of getting lost among all the food, fun and fizzy drinks — but the important part is right there in the name.

Get back to the origins of the holiday with a hardcover copy of the Constitution and other founding documents that transformed America from a collection of colonial subjects to an independent nation. Measuring less than 4 inches by 7 inches, it’s small enough to pass around at the party but substantial enough to find a home in a proper bookshelf.

1-Gallon Glass Lemon Drink Dispenser

• Price: $5

It’s hard to imagine July Fourth without lemonade — and you can serve it in a pitcher like everyone else or you can spend $5 on a vessel worthy of the beverage. 

Five Below’s lemon-yellow glass beverage dispenser holds a full gallon of ice-cold, citrusy, sugary goodness that fills cups from an easy-to-pour, spill-free spigot — all with unmatched presentation. Opening it to rinse it out, wash it or refill it is as simple as twisting the screw-on top.

American Flag Cowboy Hat

• Price: $5

Few things are more American than cowboy hats and the stars and stripes, and with $5 and a visit to Five Below, you can get both in one purchase. Not only is it proudly patriotic, but it keeps the sun off your face and shoulders during long days on the deck or patio, at the beach or behind the grill. One size fits most, but good luck keeping it on your head with all the people who are going to want to try it on.
