Sears Canada has all their Heritage and Cuisinart enameled cast iron dutch ovens on for 70% off. We picked up a Heritage 7 qt yesterday for $35.99.
Correction--my brother is the lucky duck.You lucky duck.
So, he does want it and you haven't decided to keep it.Correction--my brother is the lucky duck.
I found another one yesterday for $4--this one is mine.
Last week I stumbled across 3 dinner plates and 4 cereal/salad bowls that match my everyday dishes for $0.50 each. Replacements.com has the plates at 45.99 and the bowls at 19.99.
And the week before I stumbled across 4 wineglasses that are my everyday crystal (I don't use the Waterford except for on holidays) for 0.79 each.
For some reason, I've been lucky at the thrift stores lately. Still kicking myself in the butt that I didn't take the #3 cast-iron skillet yesterday and I can't justify the drive back in to the City to see if it is still there.
Rock--Goodwill on Merivale has 50% off day on Jan 31.
I went to an auction today and got this 9-1/2 qt Le Creuset oval ducth oven for less than 1/3 of what it lists on ebay.
ESTATE AUCTION - SUNDAY APRIL 13th MacLeans Warehouse - 1523 Laperriere Ave.
So what if the rest of my Le Creuset is blue, I know I will be using this (and gaining upperarm strength doing so--the darned thing weighs 15 lb).
I love the volcanic. My set of 3 ancient Le C pans (bought in the sale in 1980) are volcanic and I managed to pick up two more in a thrift shop for £4.99. I love the colour - it cheers me up every time I get one out of the cupboard - and they are s-o-o long-lasting and useful.The color is perfect for fall cooking in the great white north!
Phone your insurance company. Mine told me that my antique table and the silverware, etc. were covered and didn't need a rider.I remember when my mom bought my set and some extra pieces for me (I picked blue--had they had purple then...). Anyway, she told me I should pick a color I liked because I was going to have them for the rest of my life...I remember saying something about I hoped I would still be able to lift them when I got old...that one I got at auction weighs about 15 lb empty. Not something you would want to drop on your toe or ceramic tile flooring...
BTW, I priced the pot I bought on line...new replacement price runs between $467-791. I wonder if I need to add a rider to my homeowners insurance policy to cover replacing all my LeCreuset...just wondering...

I have Copco enamelled, cast iron. The apartment I was living in was gutted by fire. The Copco pots were fine, except the wooden handle on the skillet. They were just about the only things that did survive the fire.I wouldn't worry about it, if you do have a fire they will probably just need a good scrubbing after they cool off!
