Buy the same socks in batches. If they are all the same color/shade you won’t need to spend time matching socks. Dump them into a drawer, and every time you need two socks, you grab two, done.
You could also extend the not-washing period if you buy more clothes. The more you have, the longer until you run out of clothes to wear.
- yitchelle 8y agoWouldn't that just make your washing time much longer as you have a larger load to deal with? I have that problem where my two kids just brings their clothes out of their rooms in one instance. Takes forever to finish washing them.
- AstralStorm 8y agoBatching actually helps as long as you can fit things in the machine and on the clothesline or in dryer. Not to mention being more power and water efficient.
- fifnir 8y agoI thought i was doing this by only getting black socks. Now I have a drawer full of very subtly different black socks
- ccozan 8y agoHa, same happened to me too! I have 3 or 4 batches of black socks. In the beginning, very easy, pick two, dress, get out. A few time ago I realized, due to different materials or black ink, they degrade in different ways, so I have a few shades of black to choose from. But still don't care :).
- bunderbunder 8y agoJust lean into this one and buy brightly colored and patterned socks instead. That way, you're obviously always wearing mismatched socks, and it becomes an obviously deliberate (if eccentric) fashion choice instead of a repeated sartorial goof-up. Also, you get to wear socks that are more fun.
- misterman0 8y agoThis is a very useful hack. I'm gonna try it out. Socks didn't use to be a fashion statement but they sort of are now. Mixed socks. Because, y'know, I don't care. I just don't care. I'm just me. LOL, so corny. I'm not sure anymore that I'll be able to pull of mixed socks.
