    It was inevitable with inflation of course, but that’s why you don’t pick names like that. Wikipedia says they go up to $30:

    Five Below, Inc. is an American chain of specialty discount gift shops that prices most of its products at $5 or less, plus a smaller assortment of products priced up to $30.

    I know that feel. Went to a 1€-Store to buy cheap supplies for the new home when I moved and several things there were more. Still, the stuff I needed I got for 1€ (trashcans, coat hangers, sponges and brushes)

      That’s still very cheap, the 1€-Store near me has almost nothing at 1€ anymore. It’s become more like the 5€ store.

    The pound shop in the UK used to sell everything for a pound. Now it sells stuff in multiples of a pound.
