I am so with you on this! I grab a pile from Walmart for 2.98 and toss them at the end of the season, maybe I should check out Old Navy.They are really cute.. but I can't justify $48 for flip-flops! Especially with how I treat mine, LOL. Every spring I buy pairs in 7 or 8 colors for 2/$5 at Old Navy, and by the end of the summer, they get thrown away.
