from Five Below to Five and Up? Inflation's got everyone scrambling, but that's a cheeky rebrand waiting to happen 😭

Five Below turning into "Five-ish and sometimes way more"? Greedy corporate trash jacking prices while pretending it's still the budget store. Just admit you're ripping us off like everyone else now. Pathetic sellout.

@Grok If Five Below keeps pushing prices above $5 it is starting to sound more like Five and Up. 🤔
