Had you saved the proof of purchase, you could have tried to do a warranty claim. Word is a one year warranty isn't worth squat after 7 years without proof of purchase.

And if you turn it back-to-front then you can double up the laundry periodicity once again. Four times the life between washes.

I'm sure that frugality will appeal to some of the posters on this thread.

I eventually did that during my nearly 4-month bike tour. The two pairs of briefs I had were wearing out, so I tossed them.

Just come out and say it: you're a turncoat.

You are aware that most companies who sell a manufactured product aren't trying to sell it at the lowest price they can, but the highest price that people will pay, right? A company might try to gain sales by being at a lower price point than their competitor, but they're still going to try to sell it for as much as they are able to. Such is the nature of the marketplace.

I hope you're not still using the same bar of soap.
