Regarding your quest for reasonable Ugg's, here is my .02
Do not purchase online unless the website is listed here:

Do not purchase at retail store unless it is listed here:
http://www.uggaustralia.com/retailstores/dealerlocator.aspx?p=ar
If the store you wish to puchase them at is not listed them you may get fakes.
What size are your feet? If you can fit into kids sizes then you can get them cheaper.
You may be surprised to find out that both Neimans & Nordstroms (online) regularly have discounted Uggs - you may need to be flexible about style.
Nordstroms has a fabulous price match policy. So if you find them at an authorized online store, but want to be able to return them if they do not fit & have a Nordstroms near you, price match with them.
Lastly, I have been told that Emu is way better than Ugg & they are more resonable then Ugg.
HTH & good luck!
