I like to replenish my knickers and socks each autumn as my socks have all shrunk and are mismatched from a year ago. I ordered 2 packs of pants and a few packs of socks in navy, black, grey and some patterned. The cost -£75!! How do people afford this!!

I never buy socks! I have plenty that have lasted years plus I generally get a couple of pairs each Christmas that top up the existing stock. I definitely think Asda and Primark are best for basics. They wash and wear really well. M&S quality is shit - I don't know how they justify their prices. The only clothes I've ever had fall apart after only a few washes are from M&S. Primark and Asda last years!

Of socks????

I still buy knickers in M&S because I simply don't think Primark ones are as good quality but I always buy my socks in primark now because they are far cheaper than marks.

They shrink in the dryer or get holes in so I feel like that's not excessive!

Are you the OP or is there another poster who also buy 25 pairs of socks every single Autumn!!?

I had to throw out socks in June that my mum bought me to go to uni with. That was 23 years ago. And they only just started a hole in the seam. They were pringle from tkmaxx.

I used to have a "thing" about only wearing black socks but I bought a 7 set of Nike socks that are each colour of the rainbow (£17.99). I sized up to mens so they are knee high and they make me happy every time I wear them. Plus colour coordinate with outfits and no cold ankles this glorious "summer".

M&S Sale or TK Maxx

RichTeee, the Nike socks are great. I get them at the Outlet.

Uniqlo men’s socks are the business. Nice selection of colours and 4 for £12 so bargain too and last at least a couple of years with twice week wearing

I wear Next men's socks. They are at least 5 years old and still like new.
Last time I bought knickers it was Tescos 5 for £8. Better quality than M&S.

25 pairs of socks?! How many feet do you have?!
