Quantum Stockings

Here is a real life math problem.

WeLoveColors.com has flat rate shipping.
Ergo, it matters not if you buy one pair or twelve pairs of leggings/tights/thigh-highs.
Shipping is $5.
.

(that meant period)

So the more you buy, the more you save on shipping.

But guys, listen to me.
THEY HAVE SO MANY COLORS.

Like, this isn't your walk-into-Wal-Mart-and-they-only-have-brown-grey-and-black-so-I-guess-I'll-just-get-one-of-each situation.
I could get every single color of the rainbow plus different shades and patterns and I'm about to lose my ever-loving mind because having so many options is overwhelming and complicated.

And when things get overwhelming and complicated, I tend to pull out the old spreadsheets and try to devise a way to make them not so.

But this situation appears unquantifiable.
My best solution is:

8x + 5 = Stocking budget?

WHAT IS MY STOCKING BUDGET?
IS IT THE SAME AS A TIGHT BUDGET?
OMG THAT WAS A PUN.

Maybe I should just do process of elimination.
I'd never wear hot pink tights.
Or white ones.
Or anything purple.

Super. Now I only have 41 to choose from.

41(8) + 5 = $333

There are probably other things I could be doing with my time.
