I just got a beautiful porcelain enamel over stainless steel stock pot for $40! My sister works at the local int'l market, they have a department that's nothing but kitchen gadgets and utensils and high-end cookware and accessories. That's where she works. I got a gift card from there for my birthday and I'd already seen the stockpots on special so I went straight in and got one, they were going like hotcakes and I didn't want to miss out. It's almost impossible to get Le Creuset at a reduced price but they do run specials occasionally, and sometimes the discontinued lines will end up on a clearance table. And we have an LC outlet store nearby that runs certain lines/colors on sale occasionally.
Little by little I'm tarting up my kitchen something fierce.
