I'm an avid thrift store shopper and, usually, only purchase things I need to replace or for goodies to turn into gift items.
Fast forward to earlier this week when I dropped my favorite 10-inch skillet on the kitchen floor. Okay, it was, after all, another thrift store purchase but I really liked it. My husband had tightened up the handle a bit some time ago and it was doing well...until I dropped it. The handle was some sort of composite plastic or Bakelite and broke away at the side of the skillet. Not safe and not good to use so it hit the trash pile.
Okey dokey, now I have a challenge.
Turns out I had a doctor's appointment the next day, which was near one of my favorite Goodwill stores. Stopped in, found another 10-inch skillet with a riveted metal handle attached and an even better cooking surface...$2.00USD. MINE! By the way, a new one retails for over $50.00USD. Yeah!
Already used it three times and am a very happy camper.
Guess if I drop this one, the only thing that will be damaged will be the kitchen floor.
