Oh, I'll have to check the dollar tree. I've been looking for something like that.
...12 piece Pyrex set for $10.
Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll check a lot of these places out .
For anything that you need to cut with, stay away from Wal-Mart. Knives, box graters,cheese slicers, all useless. I suppose they can't screw up wooden spoons.....
Rom, I am not sure if this is cheap or expensive in Oz.
The set included two measuring jars and eight different containers, I guess it is a 15 piece set including the lids.
Walmart is also good for better prices on brand names.
This is incredibly dangerous advice, Andy. The stuff you can buy at Wal-Mart is often inferior in quality than if you were to buy it elsewhere.
Let's take KitchenAid stand mixers, for example. Let's say you buy one at Macy's and one at Wal-Mart, and then take them both apart.
You'll find the one from Macy's will have metal fittings and screws and a nice quality metal on the innards.
You'll subsequently find that the one from Wal-Mart will use plastic fittings, screws and gears, and will use pot metal brackets and the like.
It's like this with a lot of things you get from Wal-Mart. Because they dictate what they'll pay to manufacturer's (which often cripples said manufacturer) the manufacturer has to come up with ways to cut costs on the items they sell to Wal-Mart, and 99 out of 100 times that results in using lower quality components.
