I mentioned in my first post the flip-flops I purchased at Dollar Tree. They were oh-so-cute black damask print, which if you know me, know that I love me some black damask! {I do own a coat, wallet, and a few other items by that nature as well as a COUCH}
Anyway, I wore the flip flops, coincidentally, on a trip to buy more shoes. My dear friend Nikki gave me a giftcard to DSW for my birthday and few months later, we took a trip so I could finally use it! We ate lunch, spent the better part of an hour in DSW,{where I became completely and utterly overwhelmed by the amount of footwear present}, went to another shoe store, and also I went to Ulta for the first time. Oh, how I love Ulta, but that is neither here nor there.
The whole trip was no more than 3 hours, and as I was walking into my front door, the entire strap came off the sole of the flip flop! I was very sad- even though they only cost me a buck- I truly did love them! The good part was that if they had broken earlier, at least I had another pair of shoes with me. 🙂
So, in summary, don’t buy the $1 flip flops, at least from this store. Apparently at least $3 is necessary to buy quality summer time shoes.
However, if I decide to splurge and give them another chance- thus spending another dollar- I will let you know how the second experiment goes. I will be sure to carry a spare pair in my purse in case of an emergency.

My cheapest pair of shoes EVER were actually two pairs of shoes (BOGO style)…for a whopping $1.76. That’s EIGHTY-EIGHT cents each (you can’t capitalize numbers, but you should be able to, imho). I got both of them at Bealls over 5 years ago, and I can no longer remember why-in-the-world they were so cheap, but, even though I eventually gave one pair away because I never wore them, I still own the other (a pair of adorable sky-high MIA wedges with gold-tone straps), and they happen to still be in fantastic condition in addition to being one of my favorite shoes I’ve ever owned. Not too shabby for a buck, seventy-size…of course, there was the time I walked out of Famous Footwear without paying a single cent for a pair of Crocs…and no, I didn’t steal them. ; ) Great idea, Kelli!
Abbie, I would say you have me beat! 🙂 Your shoes sound like they were definitely their $1.76.
You will have to tell me about your Crocs….
A pair of etnies skater shoes never worn at a yard sale for $1. Brand new. Super comfy. Best dollar spent ever!!
