First time poster, long time lurker.
For those of you still using the fitbit flex, I was recently shopping for replacement bands. Noticed that most stores sell the 3 pack of replacement bands for $38 (http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/fitbit-flex…)
Target currently has both the large and the small packs for $14 (Was $20 apparently!!). Website says in-store and just a few left, so naturally I went to officeworks and after the manager coming down the deal was beaten by 5%, bringing it down to $13.30.

I am aware you can get non-genuine bands online very cheap. However, I am not sure of the quality of those and I did not want to wait for shipping.
I own a Fitbit Flex and I have both a genuine and non-genuine band. The ebay-bought one is not bad - the tracker fits well and the buckle's strength is about the same as the real band.
The overall design of the buckle on the Flex is terrible in the first place anyways.
Otherwise, good deal for some genuine bands.
