No, I am not talking about a political change of mind. I am talking about those staples of summer that you see on almost every teen foot going – the flip flop.
Last Saturday, Old Navy had a dollar flip flop sale. There were a few perimeters – only five pairs per person, only solid colored flip flops. I was ill prepared for what I faced when I showed up to meet my sister and our niece and nephew with my 22 year old daughter. My daughter kept saying this was a big deal. I kept saying what is the big deal about a dollar flip flop.
After having experienced the dollar flip flop sale at Old Navy, I can think of nothing to compare it to but Black Friday shopping. I am not sure if I have ever stood in a line that wrapped through an entire store. I spent an hour plus in a line for $5 worth of flip flops.
I will never again underestimate the draw of the dollar flip flop.

That’s a pretty good sale. I was actually looking at the Old Navy Black Friday ad on blackfriday.org and I realized their thanksgiving sale isn’t nearly as good as the summer sale.

Now I know why it was such a zoo. I couldn’t believe it.
