I will be living in flip flops from the time the snow melts pretty much until it starts falling again. Last year I bought a pair of Nike Comforts and they didn't even last the summer. Any suggestions on cheap flip flops that are decently comfortable? Not doing a Disney trip this year so no super heavy walking days.

Okabashi is a great brand. I have 3 pairs and they're comfy. You can order them online and they have frequent sales.
 
I live in flip flops, too. I think the best thing is to have a few (or many like me) and rotate them so none of them get worn out too quickly. I really like the Blue Fin flip flops. I've found them at Rack Room shoes where you can often get them buy 1 get 50% off the 2nd pair. I wore an old pair (a few years old) of my most comfortable Blue Fin flip flops to WDW for several days and REALLY wore them out.

I've ordered 2 pairs of Crocs flip flops and can't wait until they get here!
 

One year I bought a pair of croc flip flops that were on clearance on their website. They were the absolute best things ever! So comfy, I wore them for 3 years I think, and I stretch flip flop season. One of the summers I was pregnant and they were still great. I really loved them.
 
The two pairs I've bought and really liked in the last few years are a pair of leather Roxy flip flops (bought DSW Warehouse) and a pair of leather Sperry flip flops bought at Macy's. They aren't cheap at around $30-35, but they aren't the expensive $75 Rainbows either. And they've both lasted me a couple years and still going/
 
Reefs... bought a pair while on vacation 7 years ago and I still have them. Wear them all summer long and for a few of those years I was living in Las Vegas so basically it was year round.
 
Teva mush or Croc flip flops are the most comfortable for me.
 
Rainbows. My D could wear a pair for a year before they had to be replaced (wears them a LOT). And they have decent arch support.
 
My two fav brands of flip flops are Crocs and Locals. Crocs aren't that cheap unless you have a coupon or good sale. Locals are pretty cheap (I bought mine at Walmart) but I'm only aware of them being for sale in Hawaii. I stocked up last time I was there and have had ppl buy them for me on trips. You can also purchase them online on their website localsusa.com, but they are more expensive that way.
 
Bought a pair of New Balance last year and I have been happy with them. They are thick soled and even not so hard on my arthritic knees. Only 30 bucks at Famous Footwear.
 
I have Reef flip flops that I have had for years! I also have Teva Mush flip flops that are about 4 years old and I wear them all summer and I have finally decided that for my Disney trip I am going to need a new pair of those for walking around all day. I will still wear my old ones around the house but they are just not quite as cush as they used to be! The Reefs and Teva's are around $20-25 unless you have a coupon and can grab them at Bobs.
 
6pm.com has clark flip flops for $35 right now. Not super cheap, I know, but I have bought them before and they are very comfy and last several summers.
 
My favorite flip flops are the OluKai Ohana or Montrail Molokini's, but they'll both run you about $65.00/pair. My next favorite flip flops are the Cobian Leather Braided Bounce which you can get around $25.00. Here they are: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00598R88K/ref=twister_B003AQD152 They have the soft squishy sole and better arch support like the old style Teva Mush, but seem even squishier.
 
Another vote for Teva Mush and Crocs. I've had the same pair of Crocs for 2 years now and the only reason I'm replacing them this year is because my elderly cat got into the closet and decided he liked chewing on them. By the time I found out, they were covered with tooth marks! And, even though I'm Pooh-sized, I don't have any back issues at all while wearing either the Teva or the Crocs!
 
I would highly recommend going to a store like Rack Room Shoes or Shoe Carnival and trying on different styles and brands. I know my feet feel great in Clark's (about $50), Sanuk (about $35), and Rampage (about $20) but kill in Reef or Teva. Everyone's feet are different and what may feel good to one person may hurt another's feet.
 
Teva Mush.super comfortable,and I've had some for 3+ years....
 
I wear flip flops more than most people I know.

'Cheap' and 'good' are not terms that go together when discussing flip flops.

I like Reefs
