This is really interesting to me, because every time a post comes up raving about BIFL expensive socks, I always have the same thought:

I wear quarter socks. I buy three kinds -- black, blue and brown. I have three milk crates on the shelf above my dryer that I keep them in. I bought the kinds that are come in packs and come out to about $1/pair.

And ... I couldn't be happier. It's a perfect system.

I've gotten rid of one or two here and there, but I will say that I can't fathom going through 100 socks in 8 years. That seems like a lot.
