My socks cost $25/pair…

And they are a bargain. They are comfortable, they perform, and they last! Best of all, if they do develop a hole out wear out in any way, I can exchange them fire a new pair at no cost.

I used to buy socks at Costco. They were inexpensive and cheap. I needed to replace them several times a year so while they cost less per pair, I was spending more money replacing them frequently.

EDIT: I appreciate the response here and understand that not everyone will agree with this decision. I think it’s possible to express the different opinion will still being polite and courteous.

Clarity as many of you have asked, I hike an average of 10 miles a day every single day. I am hard on my socks and for me personally, having high-quality shoes and socks protect my feet, which is in my best interest in the long run.

The type of sock I was buying from Costco were cheap and they wore out quickly. Not only was this inconvenient , but the environmental cost is high.

If you have a different value system, or experience, good for you. This is my best choice and I believe it saves me a lot of money

To me, this is being frugal
