I did that for awhile, and just toss them in a drawer now, since they are all white anyway, I'm not much of a sock person. But rolling the pairs of socks is a good ide, thinking about this, I may start rolling them again. Underwaer actually lats longer if you have a bunch of them, like 2- 3 months worth, this way I don't wear them out by washing them.
They say not to roll your socks as it wears the elastic out. I have found a great freedom in not rolling and folding socks and such... I just open the droor and throw it all in, then simply pick out what I need each day. All my socks are matching black so no mater. Such freedom! Ahhh!
