My point is it's such a rare purchase it doesn't really matter if the price even doubles for the cheapest ones, especially compared to regular quality items, that may last marginally longer but are a lot more expensive.
1$ socks 4 times/year << 20$ socks 1 time/year even if the socks double in price. And that's with the assumption that 1$ socks are 4 times more likely to break, which is incredibly pessimistic.
Not the case for bread! 1$ bread twice a week for a year starts to look bleak if it increases in price.
