Shortcutting across Ankeny's mid-section, we spotted Crazy Deals of Iowa within an industrial park…read moreand stopped in. Glad that we did, as we found some good options at quality prices. Plenty of parking in front. Brandon, their owner and operator, grabs major stores surplus items, and then resells them at a good price. A lot of quality items throughout the shop. I was able to secure an Iowa State hoodie at a terrific price. Glad that we now know about it and also follow his website and Facebook page to be aware of items as they arrive.

Saw a video about this place and had to see it for myself! As a recovering Goodwill Bins fan and…read moregrowing up going to Ropa and other thrift and sift spots, I was intrigued. This is a chain that buys customer returns and end-of-season items and sells them at a discount. Think Amazon returns, overstock or out of season Target items, etc. Then, everything is dumped into bins for folks to look through: it's not even sorted into "soft" and "hard" like at the Goodwill bins. But the perk is, everything is new with tags / barely used! The pricing is unique - it goes: $10 Fridays $7 Saturdays $5 Sundays $3 Mondays $2 Tuesdays $1 Wednesdays 25c Thursdays We came on a Sunday and found a few items: an electric beard trimmer, a plant pot, an outdoor rug, Duke Cannon soap. However, I would say if I were to come back, I'd probably come on either $10 Friday hoping for a bigger ticket item, or on Tuesday/Wednesday because most stuff just wasn't worth $5. Lots of plastic items, cheap items and felt too small/cheap for $5. There were lots of clothes, but they were mixed in with the hard goods so hard to go through, and most were Target or Amazon brands so didn't see much value in going through them on $5 day - for me at least. If you're looking for kids toys and stuff, household decor and trinkets, acrylic organizers, and gifts - this is a great place to stock up on the cheaper days! Super interesting to look through. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon, but very interesting!

The store was well laid out and easy to reach everything. And had a large selection. Found a few great finds on some kitchen goods I came in for, for stocking stuffers.

Normally, I would have given this place 5 stars.

I imagine this is for using a credit card. I am perfectly fine with a business doing this IF they let the customer know they are doing so. Had I known, I wouldn't use a credit card.

I believe this is where all burned out retail workers go to fade into obscurity. Every Time we ever…read morewent in here it was understaffed, you had to wait to be checked out, and the ones behind the counter always seemed to have an attitude, and a chip on their shoulder. They are the only one in this town, so I guess it's what is to be expected. They really need to do something about employee morale though. It's better than going all the way into Ames though, if that can be counted as a good point.

This store is absolutely AWFUL!!! A complete mess to say the least. Nothing on the shelves, big…read morestocking carts constantly all over the place full of boxes. There's honestly no sense in coming here, just drive to Walmart. They never have what I need, and it's basic necessities. Not to mention, even if I do end up buying something the wait time to check out is ridiculous. It's hard to even push a cart around in here, and if you do your either rolling through a mess or an empty isle. This store could be so convenient but is just a hassle to even mess with. Where is the manager or store owner? Surely this isn't how they think a business should be ran.

Yay!! We have a Five Below!! I used to go to this store when I lived on the east coast, so I was…read moreexcited to see what it was opening here! Everything is basically $5 and under! It's not just cheaply made items either. You will find a variety of name brand items like toys, sporting goods, candies, t-shirts, etc here. You can also find cheap phone chargers, headphones, iPad cases, etc as well! I saw some realllyyyy cute Easter basket goodies on the low low today so I'm excited to go back and grab stuff for our kids Easter baskets this year! I walked out with a gift bag, tissue paper, birthday card- your typical dollar store items as well! BUT I also got some Marvel t-shirts for $5 and some Brain Quest trivia cards for my son for only $3! And a bunch of candies that were 10 for $1 or 4 for $1 depending on what they were! So definitely check it out! They get trucks in twice a week! Soooooo, that means I'll be back more than I should be haha
