I went to Fred Meyer last week to buy some black and grey socks for my low supply. I found these socks called "Peds" that were supposed to be eco friendly. I bought 4 pairs; for 2 pairs it was $6. Seems pricey right? Well that was about average. I spent 45 minutes looking only at socks so I could get the best deal. When I went to check out, the cashier girl rung me up and said $26.--. I handed her my card and said, "Why can't socks be cheap??" She laughed and said, "I know, huh? Nothing's cheap anymore." I went home, was really excited for supporting the green cause in a such a little way, and put on my socks. Nice and smooth, soft and still thin. Perfect! Well I washed and dried them, like I normally do my other low-maintenance socks and this is what I got. On the left is the end result after Mark and I both tried stretching it out. Thanks for the shrinkage, Peds.

Oh no!!!
If I was you I would be hot footing it back to the store and demanding a refund! :)
OH NO! You got hosed in the sock department. I'd return them, too... that's way to much to pay for socks you can only wear once!
$26 for socks! That's outrageous! And they aren't even wearable anymore! You should totally take them back.
FUNNY!!!! Cheers to saving the environment :) ...
You know, I've seen people return socks at Freddy's!! You might wanna take em back, especially when you JUST bought them! Made me laugh though! You're funny!
aw man, that stinks!
They shrunk THAT MUCH?? What a rip off!! I'd take them back!!
BUMMER. that sucks that trying to be eco-friendly bit you in the butt. i would definitely try to return them.
How did you add music on your blog? It seems really funny that plans were canceled ... to RAIN!!! That's definitely a first. :)
