Hi guys.just came across these while grabbing a diabetes sized bag of jelly bellys. Mostly saw size 9-10 US at the Bris queen street store but your local store may have more. Anaconda also have some on sale for $15 as well. Cheers guys

Their normal retail is $20 upwards to a ridiculous $50 for the "fancy" ones.
Except that CotD has it at that price so often and on top of that Costco does it at that price when available.
Their normal retail is $20
I meant the normal price at the Reject Shop
Yep. Looks like it.
Lol, if that's the case there's a few shops I can imagine never make it on ozbargain.
I never thought that reject has havaianas
only the rejected ones…
lol
havaianas have always just been thongs, now they are starting to be price like thongs.
$10 at my local Aldi, almost a reasonable price for JUST A THONG which is super over rated brand idiocy :/
I paid $10 at Costco. They should cost $3 since they're just mass produced pieces of rubber.
Where are the Aussie made real thongs for Australia Day? Surely they can be manufactured here for less than $10 a pair.
that is, if you have a costco membership
I don't. Went with friends and leeched off theirs :)
ALDI had the Aussie thongs last Australia day for 2 buckeroos. Go to your local ALDI and you might still find some leftovers but I doubt it as my 2 local ALDI stores had none left.
Made in Australia?
even cheaper at target
Cotton On (well … Local store in Cranbourne, Victoria) is selling 2 pair thongs for $10. Not Havaianas, but they are the softest thongs (as in flip flops) I have come across, in at least twenty years. (If they are not soft I simply don't wear them). Appears to be ladies only (although I was not looking for male items) with plenty of colours, patterns/plain and sizes. Sizing seems to be different than most; eg. size 40 for size 9 ladies.
Worth checking out if you are looking for Havaianas and/or thongs.
They are also selling 3 x double packs of shoe sized socks for $10 (6 pairs).
Other things are for sale there; obviously clearing out Summer stock.
Cotton On thongs I bought years ago are very comfy. They don't last as long as Havaianas though.
That's why I went back and bought a few more pairs ($5 each and I am happy). I just cannot wear the others; my toes tend to be rubbed and bleed to easily. I wouldn't wear thongs very often but they are handy to wear down the beach.
Havaianas means Hawaiian in Portuguese. They come from Brazil. The simple model is worth is $AUD 2.00 back in Brazil. They are made of recycled tyres. Back in the 80s they were considered a very low class and cheap thongs, only the white and blue model existed. In early 90s the company spent millions of dollars in a marketing campaign to uplift the brand and they did very well ever since.
They have Havaianas at Costco at $12 most of the time. Only the "Top" style though.
Aldi also had them a few weeks ago for $11.99.
Top for mens, Slim for ladies, and kids ones too.
If you're lucky, might still be able to find some at your local Aldi stores.
You just gotta love free enterprise and marketing genius. For years the simple yet brilliant thong, so Aussie, sold for a dollar or two, and sold in their zillions. Now they are called Havaianas, and are still sold in their millions but at ridiculously high prices, for what is still just a flash pair of thongs.
I am lucky thou, I never wore things at $1-2, and I still don't at $20+. I refuse to wear something so unsafe, uncool, and noisey as like lazy yobbos that drag their feet, thongs or not. I just can't do it. I accept millions of you love them. Mind you I cringe at any shoes over $19.99, let alone thongs at any price.
But just to be hypocritical nearly, I think Crocs are great, real Crocs yes are way too expensive, so the fakes are for me, and have been for years. Unless I need shoes or it is cold, and long pants are worn, Crocs are the norm, and a real pair (I was gifted them)only lasted twice as long as a fake pair, and the fakes I bought in Asia traveling for years were way way cheaper the real deal. Best fishing jobbies I ever had.
Crocs are cool?
All lizards are cold blooded, aren't they?
Crocs are one of the ugliest shoes ever, #2 after those wooden clogs.
I would say, the ugliest, but still so much better than thongs.
Ha my brother (who has lived overseas for years … and is still away) has always maintained that those wooden clogs are the most comfortable (walking) shoes ever, although he generally only wears them about the house. He is an ultra marathon runner who ends up with rather botched up looking feet and toes (yuck) from every run. Cannot recall him wearing thongs apart perhaps for some local fishing trips. The stereotype that maintains all Aussies wear thongs, swig copious amounts of beer, etc., is rather irksome; by far a very small minority.
When I see people wearing Crocs, I know immediately that we have nothing in common, and that we could never be friends or have any meaningful kind of relationship. They come in every color imaginable yet look bad with every other article of clothing ever created. The only thing that goes with Crocs is social ostracism.
To their credit though, Crocs serve as an excellent idiot barometer; you can tell a lot about people wearing them.
When it comes to shoes, there are usually three deciding factors: quality, price, and style. Some shoes are cheap and stylish, but poor quality, while others are stylish and durable, but expensive. Crocs usually go for $30-$60, which doesn't sound like much for a shoe, until you consider that what you're really paying for are melted pellets squirted into a cast-iron mold in some province in China. Crocs have the rare combination of being expensive, poor quality, and ugly. It's quite a feat for one shoe to suck this bad.People who wear Crocs go on and on about how comfortable they are, and how it's supposedly odor resistant because it's made out of some kind of anti-bacterial foam. Great point, tools! You know what else it's resistant to? You getting laid. Then as if the shoes weren't disgusting enough, Crocs introduced a product called "Crocs butter" that's supposed to restore that illustrious injection-molded sheen to those gaping holes they call shoes.
You know that feeling you get when you're full and slightly nauseous and you burp and you can taste the partly digested food in the back of your throat? There isn't a word in the english language to succinctly describe it, but I will hereby refer to it as: croc-butter.Like many, it appears you don't actually read exactly what is written, just get a bit of an idea and then go off on a sarcastic cruel rant. Why? Overdose on stupid pills yesterday? If you base your friendship possibilities on their choice of clothing then you might be considered small minded. There was nothing bargain based about what you said.
I think unless you were attempting very badly executed humor, you should take a good look at life and what is important and what is not. There was nothing said about Havaianas, Thongs or Crocs that deserved your poorly chosen reply.
Your first sentence proves you are wrong, in the first half even. We, as in all reading and writing to this thread are members of OzBargain, so therefor we all, not just those Croc wearers, have stuff in common. Jeeze, I really hope you were joking and doing it badly, and you are not naturally this vile stupid and ignorant fool normally.
All of us here feel empathy for you and hope you make a recovery for the betterment of your quality of life. Go in peace.
LOL Crocs defense squad, MOBILIZE!
[@hamwhisperer](/comTo ment/3434436/redir): To err is human; to forgive is devine. Forget who said that … but it most definitely was not Yoda. No matter; let those who wish to wear crocs, thongs, havaianas or hippy sandals walk past in peace.
It looks like their normal price…
