Rain ponchos?

[Kes]

I always pick up the rain ponchos at home in a discount store for $1 or so. I'm having trouble finding the children's sizes for our upcoming trip. Has anyone seen them recently? I was at Wal-Mart yesterday but the only ones they had were the heavier ones for $8 in the camping section. We want the use an toss variety.

Thanks

I was wondering the same thing. I'm in the same boat. Found the adult size ones, but can't find the cheapy kids size. I'd love to find out where to find them. Any ideas?

Go to Coleman.com. They make a child size disposible poncho, however they are out of stock on the website. But you can do a search for dealers of this item in your area. All you have to do is find the ponchos on the website and on the right side of the page there is an icon to click on to search for dealers in your area. I did a full state search (I live in WI) and found 2 dealers, the Pamida stores and Dunham Sporting Goods. Just picked mine up at the Pamida yesterday for $2.00 ea. (They were a little less at Dunhams but I would have had to drive further) I also looked everywhere for these. Good Luck!

Check your PMs I do have a Dollar Store around the corner - maybe I'll check there. We leave Thursday so I'm kind of running short on time.

We also bought Coleman brand for the kids. They were 99 cents at the outlet store. I don't think they had any adult size, just the kids.

At Wal-mart look at the ponchos that are on the same rack with the umbrellas. They are located by the purses at our wal-mart and have child and adult sizes. Good luck!

If you have BigLots, check there...I always seem to find them in there. Mine are not the real thin ones, either - we've had them for several years now. Maybe Walgreens or Eckerd? Good Luck!

Take a plastic garbage bag and cut (or tear) a "head sized" hole in the bottom of the bag. It makes a perfect rain poncho and one size fits all!

I was at my local Dollar Store today and they had the adult ones but I don't remember seeing any childrens sizes.

I never buy the child size because I can never find them. What I do is tie a knot, or two, in the bottom corner to make them so that they don't drag the ground. My son prefers to walk with his arms inside the poncho so the length on the sleeves doesn't matter as much to him. I'll have to look at Dunhams next time I'm there and see if they carry the child size.

I saw the children's sized ones yesterday at K-Mart. They are in the handbag/belts section. They were $3, but they seem durable, and not really the throw away kind. Good luck!

My Walmart has them in the hunting and fishing section for 89¢
However they are out of stock right now... I just bougt 6 at the $ store, 2 for a dollar. I can't decide how many I need. This is our first June trip.

I call them "the junk stores',, lol

any of these places carry them, even dollar depot, or the other named Dollar stores, only 1.00

I never pay full price for anything..
I am a real bargain hunter...

I saw child size rain ponchos (Coleman) in the camping section of Target today. They were $4.99 and seemed much thicker than the dollar store type. They are deffinately reusable. Target also had Eddie Bauer rain ponchos in the same section for $7.99...so if your into designer labels these maybe for you!!

We bought them at Dollar Tree 2 for $1.00 they had yellow, clear and orange. They are the throw away kind! Although we did get two uses out of them last year.

Thanks everyone. I'll have to check some of these. We leave Thursday so I don't have much time. The way the weather is here today - I think I might have to dig one of those ponchos out for home use Can't wait to get to sunny Florida!
