I recently picked up a pair of Smartwool cycling-specific socks at REI for about $15 and I really like them. They're called "Ultra light mini" or something like that. They come in black or white.
I think this these are them: http://www.rei.com/product/779009 Mine look a little different. Mine are all black with just a little gray logo and don't have all that gray stuff on the top. Maybe the REI picture isn't up to date. Or maybe Smartwool changed them and the pair I picked up in the store is an old model. Long story short, they're nice and thin. My feet stay cool and I can reuse them a few times before they get too rank smelling.
