8 Reasons We Love pOpshelf (And Wish One Was Near Us)

As more and more people are looking for ways to save money shopping, pOpshelf has emerged as a go-to stop. The discount retailer has taken the internet by storm with its organized stores, brightly colored products, easy self-checkout, and trending styles. 

Owned by Dollar General, pOpshelf stores can be found in combination stores with its parent chain as well as in solo locations. So what's the deal with everyone running to their local pOpshelf? Here's why we love it.

Similar to its rival Five Below, pOpshelf offers a wide range of products from home decor and clothing to travel accessories and snacks from prices as low as $1 up to $15. Instead of spending hundreds on home decor at Target, shoppers are saving money on their favorite items at pOpshelf.

Plus, they have the easiest self-checkout set up if you need to get in and out.

Can products that are affordable still be high quality? Absolutely. Since Dollar General and pOpshelf are owned by the same company, their products come from the same distributor.

It's the ideal store for anyone looking to stretch their spending budget without sacrificing quality.

"This store is amazing. I think of it like a fancier Dollar General. I love it," wrote customer Courtney on Facebook.

If you're a chronic shopper, then you know that summer colors are everywhere right now. For pOpshelf, that means fun pastels, bright patterns, and tons of fun textures.

Forget boring shades like black, white, beige, or gray. Everything in this store is a part of the rainbow, from their checkered tote bags to their vibrant office supplies. If you're looking for a fun way to spice up your home, pOpshelf is definitely the spot for you.

As you can tell just by looking at their website, pOpshelf is well-known for its internet-inspired products, from their modern home storage to their seasonal summer items. Whether you enjoy the farmhouse interior aesthetic or a beachy vibe, this discount chain caters to every type of home decor.

Some of our favorite home items include a $3 wood wick ceramic candle, a $10 woven rattan tray, and an $8 green-checkered ceramic vase.

Right now, pOpshelf has a ton of summer items available, from pool party supplies to beach day accessories. Not only are these trendy, they're wildly adorable. You can pick up $12 pool floats shaped like ice cream bars, $20 colorful beach umbrellas, or $25 insulated rolling cooler bags.

Once Halloween and Christmas come around, you can bet the chain will be full of fun seasonal items ready to fill your home.

Want to plan a summer gathering with fun drink options? Unlike its rival Five Below, pOpshelf offers novelty cocktail mixes for only $2 a piece, including classic margarita, strawberry mule, and espresso martini. Add in cocktail glasses for only $1 each, and you've got yourself an entire mini bar.

If you're a fan of adding sweetener to your water for a treat, you can even pick up the internet-famous Jordan's Skinny Mixes, which include flavors like Cotton Candy, Unicorn, and Mermaid.

Heading out on vacation? You can snag any additional supplies you need from pOpshelf, including suitcases, luggage tags, and neck pillows.

For only $25, you can grab a 20-inch rolling hardshell suitcase in rose gold, perfect for navigating the airport. If you're going international, you can even scoop up adorable passport holders.

One of the most popular features of a pOpshelf store is its dedication to a spotless and enjoyable shopping experience. Often compared to the haphazard aisles of Dollar Tree, pOpshelf has proven itself to be a much more pleasant environment.

"Every pOpshelf I've been into has been clean, well lit, and organized," wrote Reddit user @Zbornak3000.

If you're already a huge fan of Dollar General and Five Below, then pOpshelf might just be the perfect spot for your next round of errands. It's a smart way to stay within your budget and keep more cash in your wallet.

The only con of pOpshelf we've found so far is that the chain has limited locations. Some pOpshelf locations have even started the process of turning back into Dollar General stores, so you'll want to keep your eyes out for one near you.
