Money belt?

I'm looking for a money belt - my sister needs one for a trip to Morocco. Can't find one in any of the local shops, and I'm very short of time to buy online - she's going a week on Tuesday. Any suggestions anyone? (I found the ideal thing at http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=195940&highlight=money+belt, but the offer seems to have ended.)

    I'm sure I've seen one on the travel rotating stand in Wilkinsons
    I haven't got one!

    1. DO you want the flat sort or the bum bag sort? (Known as a fanny bag in the US!!!!!:rotfl: )

    2. Don't panic! You can get these in loads of places. If all else fails, the cheapest place will be Morocco itself :p (Honestly, I bet you will see LOADS of them there!)

    3. Or you can buy them at duty free at the airport.

    4. If you really want one before you go, try travel shops or the one stall at a market which sells the stuff for the market traders - you will get a flat style money belt there. Otherwise, try luggage shops, especially if you want the bum bag style of belt.

    A message on the Grabbit Forum from thetheboy refers to a free belt with a currency quote.

    Hi everyone. Thanks for all the suggestions. Found one in Millets - they must have been out of stock when I looked before.
  • I found a plain cotton one in Home Bargains for 99p. Just what I was looking for.
