Feeling a little flippant


When I first saw the "Life's a Beach" Havaianas sandals, I couldn't help but chuckle and want a pair. But I couldn't bear the thought of paying double-digits for a pair of flipflops plus shipping, when I know that flipflops could be had for $3 a pair down at Target or Old Navy.

Thanks to Closet Therapy, I found out that they're on sale at an unlikely place--the Saks Fifth Avenue website. At $9, they seem to be more reasonable. But what about shipping? Sometimes they come out to more than the purchase itself. Fortunately, they offer free shipping until 7/17. I just snatched up a pair and can't wait for them to get here. As I currently have only 1 pair of flipflops in bright green, which doesn't necessarily go with everything, the new pair would be a fun addition.

SFA does seem an unlikely place for such a bargain! and with free shipping, way to go!

It definitely was a shock--SFA was the last place I ever thought I'd shop at.

I buy used books off Amazon all the time for 1 cent plus about $5 shipping. I still come out way ahead.
