Sandal hunt

Hi,
I know it's not actually a hoilday question but it is holiday related.
As alot of you are off on hols and some have kids I thought I would ask if anyone knows where I can buy sandals or jelly shoes for my two year old for our holiday? The cheaper the better as she will only be wearing them for a week. It seems at this time of year it is impossible! Shop assistants look at me strange! :rotfl:

Thanks
:p Im not much good at saving money but Im a good cook

    Try Matalan,
    If they have none on show they very often have left over summer stock in the back stores.
    I managed to get summer shorts last winter by asking the girl to go and have a look.
    Pick a quiet time in the store your more likely to get someones help
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel
  • ebay have brand new sandals but not sure if sizes would be right .but might be worth a look.

    Why not buy them when you get there?

    We've been away early season a couple of times, before the sandals are on sale here, but we've just bought cheap ones while away.
    Here I go again on my own....
  • I got excited for a moment, thought someone was going to come up with a great deal for Sandals resorts!

    POUNDLAND in Watford have heaps of kids jelly sandals. You may be lucky if you have a store near you. Best suggestion though is to buy them when you get there. Have you tried Woolworth?
