Prices on Cast Iron Skillet

Prices are different at different places for a lot of things. A lot of variables need to be considered, such as sales and coupons. Base in my area, in Northwest of Indianapolis, IN, Target has the best prices on Lodge 12" and 10" cast iron skillets. 12" is $18.99. 10" is $15.99 or 17.99, depending on the sales and the timing. The basic Lodge dutch oven for normal cook top is $34.99. Wal-Mart has a really good price on Lodge 8" skillet for $10.97. These prices are before tax. A couple of high-end cookware stores, such as Williams-Sonoma and Crate & Barrels, sell Lodge cast iron skillets, but for higher prices.
Crate & Barrels has more options for cast iron skillets. The store has the bacon press, 5" skillets, and some other (what I would call) novelty items. Williams-Sonoma mainly sells high end enamled cast iron cookwares, such as Staub and Le Creuset.
There are some Lodge cast iron skillets and dutch ovens sold in Dick's Sporting Good. Prices on the skillets are higher than Target and Wal-Mart. This is the only chain store that I could find the camp dutch ovens, ribbed square cast iron skillets, and a couple other accessories.
Yes, I admit that I am a big fan of Lodge products. Ever since I switched to the bare-bone preseasoned Lodge 12" skillets, I have been happy with their products. Nothing is wrong with enamled cast iron cookwares. My problems with them are chipping and enamle melting under high heat cooking. Do we mostly cook with them due to the with-stand the high heat, good heat distribution, and they get better with age? Mostly, I would miss out on the fun of doing my own seasoning.
