THEY’RE soft, cute and in numerous designs – Squishmallows are a force to be reckoned with and are flying off shelves at Five Below thanks to a bargain price.
Shoppers have spotted the adorable plushies priced from just $5 at the store – which is 36 per cent cheaper than at Walmart.

The Fifi the Pink Fox Squishmallows could be perfect for Halloween as the character is sitting inside a pumpkin.
She was one of the first eight Squishmallows to ever be released and has been given the themed upgrade ahead of October 31.
Discount store Five Below is selling the sweet fox toy for $5, compared to Walmart’s $7.88 version.
However, there is a difference in the size, with the Five Below plushy being 4.5inch tall, compared to Walmart’s 8inch version.
According to the description: “Squishmallows are cute, cuddly, and ready to join your squad.
“Made with super soft, marshmallow-like material, Squishmallows offer comfort, support and warmth as friends, couch companions, pillow pals, bedtime buddies and travel teammates.
“With more than 475 Squishmallows characters to collect, there’s a Squishmallow for everyone.
“Each Squishmallow has its own unique name and storyline to add to the fun. Who will join your squad next?”
Squishmallow craze
Last year, more than £100million of the colourful creatures were snapped up worldwide, with sales soaring by 11 per cent in the UK.
Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian are fans of the range, which includes mythical creatures such as Ace The Unicorn, vegetables and branded editions including Harry Potter, Star Wars and CoComelon.
They adorn kids’ bedrooms across the country and, in extreme cases, are taking over homes.
Squishmallows were created by Sunny Cho, who worked for Kelly Toys, and launched in 2017.
The first ones included Cam the Cat, Wendy the Frog and Hans the Hedgehog.
There are around 3,000 designs, each with its own name and biography.
