Execute function every 10 minutes with final 5

I'm trying to execute a function in angularjs every 10 minutes with final minute 5, for example: Function will execute once [...] 11:05, 11:15, 11:25, 11:35, 11:45, 11:55 [...]

I know I can set an interval like this, but I can't apply together:

function getStuff() {
   $http.get().success(function(data) {
       $timeout(getStuff, 5000);
   });
});

One way would be to set an initial $interval to check for the time and check if the minute ends with a 5. Once it does, then you can run your $interval to run the job every 10 mins.

// run every min to check if time ends in 5
var stopTimeCheck = $interval(function() {
   var currMin = new Date().getMinutes();
    // check if minute time ends in 5
   if (currMin % 5 === 0 && currMin % 10 !== 0) {
       $interval(function() {
          $http.get().then(...);
       }, 600*1000); // run every 10 mins
       $interval.cancel(stopTimeCheck);
   }
}, 60*1000)

use $interval to call the function every 10 minutes. 

function getStuff() {
   $http.get().success(function(data) {
      console.log(data)
   });
});

$interval(getStuff,600000)
