Save grungy socks for indoor playgrounds
Suzanne's eminently practical use for old socks:
Before you throw out your kids' old, dingy socks, let them use them one more time -- in those indoor, McDonald's-type playland places. I keep a bag of old socks in my trunk specifically for this purpose. If we're at a play place and my kids don't have socks with them (like in the summer, when they're wearing sandals), or if I don't want them to dirty up their good socks, I bring a pair from the bag and put them on. You can even put them on over their good socks. When they're done playing, just throw them away.
(or any Amazon link at Parent Hacks), you throw some change into our tip jar without any extra steps or cost to you. Thank you!
Wow, what a GREAT idea! I usually keep one pair of Robeez (http://www.robeez.com/) in the car for that purpose, but I like the old sock idea even better :)

PERFECT! I see kids running around barefoot on those and it makes me sick to my stomach. I want to scream - RINGWORM!
