been hunting for ski socks and needing to buy enough pairs to last the week seems to be adding up to really rather expensive when I can only find them for about £6 a pop and none of the better value shops i.e tescos/tk maxx have much ski stuff any more.Would I be better off borrowing some of my bf's ski socks for the first day and then buying socks out there rather than spending loads money before I go? Wil they be any cheaper in bulgaria or is it not worth waiting for.

Have you tried sport and ski ....I got mine in there and they were dead cheap

To be honest the skis socks in BG are cheap and nasty, wont last long. £6 a pop isnt expensive for decent ski socks. If there is a decathalon near you, try therere: Random question....Buying socks in BG
FiFi probably one of the cheapest places I've found is Decathalon Sports, if there's one near you. I have seen them for sale in Boro but sorry, didn't take note of prices.Most ski socks seem to be tube style so b/f's should fit you. The rooms are always very warm, so you could wash them out and they'd be dry the next morning. Can you not beg and borrow
Football socks, especially if they have padded soles, can do the job, surely you know some footballers re: Random question....Buying socks in BG
In Smolyan they had good ski socks on sale. In the window of the shop it said: 1 pair= 6 leva.....5 pairs= 30 leva...I bought 3 pairs....should have bought 5.....what a mistake.
re: Random question....Buying socks in BG
Decathalon sell 3 pairs for £9.95. Nice socks, wash well. re: Random question....Buying socks in BG

r.e cheap and nastyness - think most of the ones Ive looked at dont appear great quality and in truth dont want to spend a massive fortune. the ones which were nice were about £11!
unfortunately dont have any of the shops near me which have been mentioned, only the usual outdoorsy type shops (blacks, oswald bailey etc) which dont have a lot left there now.

re: Random question....Buying socks in BG
Ive been skiing for 36 years, and have never had any problems using ordinary socks. You can buy almost anything, but do you really need it all?
re: Random question....Buying socks in BG
Yes.
