What to do with socks that never have mates? Use for dusting. I've also used doubled up socks in a pinch when for some reason I cannot find my hot pot holders.
To make it easier to match socks, I limit the kinds we buy. When all of the socks are the same brand and colour they're a lot easier to match. I started it years ago when my roomate and I did our laudnry togetehr but had trouble matching up socks. So we got rid of the old ones and just bought 2 dozen black dress socks and wore them out of the same basket. Now that I have a family we dont' share socks (all different sized feet), but the girls each have only 1 kind of sock, my husband has 2 (black and white) and mine are bit more mix-and-match but getting down to fewer kinds again too.
