For this?

Generally speaking, Marshall is a good place to find household items, clothes, shoes, & cookwares. I have visited a local Marshall yester and found this cast iron cookware. It is not a brand name, but made in France. This sales red tag asks for $99, plus tax. I think to myself, "My new Le Creuset is exactly the same in different color, but I got it for about $40 with tax included. Why would I pay $99 for this, before tax?" And no, this particular cookware is NOT in my collection. I'll let someone else to take it home and baby it.

Let's cut though the chase. William-Sonoma has special sales on cookwares (especially Le Creuset) and certain merchandise after a period of time, depending on the company's decision. They replace the original price stickers to the new ones.The new sales sticker shows the original and sales prices. The special discount on the sale items are not always marketed. Ask for the price check wouldn't hurt. You just have to have patient for it, or are not in hurry to buy new cookwares.

Just a few things I would not buy from high end cookware stores at all. Anything from Lodge is top one, except a few specialty items. The quality is pretty much the same all across the board. Local grocery stores sell them way cheaper, but don't expect any sales on them though. Wok is number two. I've fallen for it, but I learned my lesson. At the same time, William-Sonoma wants $30 for it now, while I got my mine for $20. Woks from Asian markets are more authentic, with more options to choose from. You just have to pick your battles.
