Socks

Didn't realise this was such a big deal in Sports Direct

They have a f**k tonne of socks as you walk in. They are £30 for 6 pairs. OR....
OR £32 for 2, 12:pairs for £32.

As you go thru the store you slowly find 6 pairs for £12, or £20 for 2.

Then you find another brand which are £8,for for 6 pairs, or £12 for 2

I settled on Nike socks which look like the ones I usually wear, and they were £6.50 or 2 for £9

I nearly paid £20 for 6 pairs of socks thinking that the cost of living crisis means a bag of chips and 6 pairs of socks is £25.

I left with 12 for £9 and no chips
