Don't Miss: 9 ways to tackle high grocery costs you won't hear about from your grocery store

1. Squishmallows

Squishmallows are a trendy stuffed animal toy, and Five Below is one of the most popular places to buy them new.

There’s an avid Squishmallow collecting community, with some reselling for as much as $1,299.99.

You can get them now at Five Below for just $5 to $5.95. Wait a bit for the toy to go out of production and become a collector’s item, and you’ll make an easy profit.

2. Kitchen gear

Kitchen gear and tech can be expensive at big box stores or online retailers, and second-hand kitchen electronics aren't always reliable or safe.

If you want to make money reselling something from Five Below, buy one of their portable blenders for just $10.

A similar model sells for around $17 from major name brands. You can resell the blender for just a few dollars more and still be cheaper than the name-brand item.

3. Collector’s items

Five Below will sometimes sell collector’s items, which can be held onto to accrue more value and resold later for a profit.

For example, they sell a “Legend Of Zelda Breath Of The Wild” collector’s box for $25. However, that box could be worth much more in a few years.

Pets are expensive, from food to vet bills to accessories. Five Below sells pet supplies at bargain prices that could be resold for a little more while still competing with popular brands.

For example, Five Below sells a pet carrier for $15, compared to a similar one for $24. They also sell a small pet bed for $12, compared to a similar bed for $25.

5. Toys

Some toys sold at Five Below are incredibly valuable, even if not collectible or rare.

For example, the bargain store sells the Sweet Raspberry Home kit from Calico Critters for only $20. This same kit currently retails around $70 at other retailers.

6. School/office supplies

Office and school supplies are expensive on their own, but getting all of them at once can be a real financial strain.

Five Below sells individual office supplies for relatively cheap, like a 10-pack of pens for $2.25 or four erasers for just $1, plus notebooks and other products.

Instead of reselling them all individually, you could package the office supplies into affordable bundles while making a profit.

7. Candy and snacks

The retailer sells giant bags of candy — like a nearly 2-pound bag of Airheads for just $5 — and $5 giant candy tubes. They also sell a variety of trendy snacks.

Instead of reselling them individually, package them together for a decent deal while still making a profit.

8. Ceramics

Five Below is known for selling trendy home decor, but it also has some timeless pieces, like ceramics, that may have resale value.

The store sells a ceramic planter shaped and painted to look like a strawberry for just $5.55. An almost identical planter sells online for $20, making it an easy upsell.

9. Fitness and sports equipment

Sporting gear and fitness equipment are costly, but buying used equipment can be a little iffy for those wanting a better deal.

Five Below sells a variety of items, like trendy printed yoga mats, for just $5.95. A similar yoga mat retails online for $37.

Simply resell the Five Below mat and other gear still in the packaging for slightly more but less than competitor prices.

10. Books

There are two ways to make money with books at Five Below. Similar to food and office supplies, you could bundle journals, puzzle books, and so on while keeping prices low.

However, you could also make money by reselling popular books at a used bookstore. Five Below sells popular titles for just $5, while publishers sell them for full price — as much as $15.

Bottom line

Five Below is a great place to purchase items at great bargain prices, but you can also use those prices to boost your bank account by reselling them.

Whether you resell an item immediately or wait until it becomes rarer and more collectible, Five Below is a great place to start.

Money tips that can work for everyone

No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

Focus on paying off your debt . Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
