There are some items you can find cheaper at pOpshelf than other retailers. Here are some of our top picks.

Party Décor

Decorating for a birthday party or getting ready for a summer get-together? Grab everything you need, from balloons and banners to plates, at pOpshelf.

A plastic tablecloth can transform that old folding table and help set the scene. It also makes post-party clean-up easy. You won’t find plastic tablecloths any cheaper than you will at pOpshelf, where they go for $1.

Travel First Aid Kit

For just $1, you get a variety of bandages, gauze, and alcohol pads for minor scrapes and cuts. With 36 pieces in all, the first aid kit is versatile and convenient. And affordable enough that you can stow one in every bag for trips, as well as your home and vehicle.

Eye Make-up

Tiktokkers are going crazy for the BE Beauty Essentials brand of eye makeup. This 5-color palette of eye shadows in shimmering shades of pink and rose can help you create looks that turn heads for just $1.40.

Coloring Books

Get the kids away from their iPad screens with some old-fashioned coloring fun at throwback prices. Choose coloring books featuring popular characters like Paw Patrol, Marvel Avengers, Minnie Mouse, or Thomas the Train. At just $1, you can stock up for your next road trip or rainy days. These also make perfect end-of-year party favors if you’re the class parent in charge of choosing goodies every child will love.

Cast Iron Skillet

This cast iron skillet measures just 7 inches across, which makes it perfect for cooking a quick burger, a few sliders, or scrambled eggs. Take note: it’s not the Lodge Cast Iron brand that we raved about previously at GOBankingRates. But for just $5, it’s a great little addition to your kitchen. The small size also makes it ideal for camping.
