Crocs for less?

Ask:
I am looking for a whole bunch of beach friendly stuff for this summer.

Where can I get crocs for the kids and not pay the full price? I like these but dont want to spend $25 and up for a single pair especially when the kids will out grow them so soon!

California baby is by far the most recommended sunscreen. has anyone seen it available at a discounted price?

I have heard of Neat Sheets that are supposed to be oh-so-convenient for the beach and everywhere else. I looked for them in Target and CVS but could not find them. Any ideas?

We are looking forward to spending few days at the beach. I am trying to do it on a budget! It is amazing how quickly these things add up!

thanks in advance.
Answer:

As far as the crocs, I have found that the Airwalk brand at Payless are just as comfortable on my feet and they cost half the price. My kids wear them and I wore them through 2 of my pregnancies.

I havent' seen Neat Sheets around but I do know that they work wonderful. My aunt bought one when they very first came out and she loves it.
Answer:

I found a knock off brand of crocs at a Meijer store here. They were on sale for $5 - regularly $9.99. Kids love 'em. I don't wear them but I have a friend who does and bought some for herself and loves them too. She said they are very comfortable.

As for the neat sheets, I haven't seen them this year but they are/were great. Maybe use old sheets or a tarp or something?

I have never heard of California baby sunscreen. We use coopertone or banana boat and are happy with that. I just got Banana Boat B1G1Free at Walgreens.
Answer:

I THINK I saw neat sheets on clearance at Walgreens, I will have to check next time I go.

I have super sensitive skin that the kids inherited. I break out for most sun screens. California Baby works best for us. These are supposed to be non chemical based and safe.



I dont like their high price tag though.
Answer:

Walmart also has knock-off crocs in there store for $6.99 to $9.99. I know others who bought them & said they were comfy. My girls have the airwalks from Payless & i got them when they were BOGO & they practically live in them. They like them a lot!

I haven't heard about the sheets or the sunscreen, sorry I can't help you there.

Have a fun summer at the beach, how fun!
Answer:

so far the best kockoffs I brought were the walmart brand (and I hate walmart). I got the skeetchers at B1G1F and they broke the first time dd wore them. I have the crocos knockoffs and mine just broke(strap).

Answer:

I only do the real Crocs - softer, longer lasting and have an antimicrobial built in. Lowest price I've seen so far is $24.99.

Neat Sheets I've found at BabiesRUs and Walgreens.
Answer:

neat sheets you can find at walgreens and walmart (they actually have diferent colors now)
i have 2 and we love them.

crocs-well i know they have no name brands at the fleamarket by me for $5.so maybe you can see if you can find them there .maybe even try khols they are have a buy one get one free on sandals this week those might be included as well.

as for the sun screen i have never known anyone to use that kind but i did see that aveeno has a baby sunscreen with 55 spf maybe u can try that
Answer:

They carry knock off crocs at baby r us and toys r us. I would think toys r us would have some of the bigger sizes. I bought a pair for my toddler for $9.99 with was cheaper than Payless at $14.99.
