      Nice cookware is expensive and worth it though. I mean that’s really fucking expensive for ONE pot but I got a $500 stainless steel set for real cheap when i was working retail (it went clearance and I stacked discounts to llike 230 dollars) and they’re so nice. I think unless I take a hammer to them they’re going to be basically perfect forever

        Not even. She bought a regular Le Creuset 14 oz cocotte which is just a nice normal sub-$50 Dutch oven, not even one of the $300 ones. Currently on sale for $36 on the manufacturer website with free shipping. Not exactly extravagantly overpriced.

        If you want to criticise something, go after the kind of overpriced $160 pan

        Or better yet, the extremely overpriced matching serving bowl that costed $367

        She basically just went on an average Wiilliams-Sonoma shopping trip, which is for upper middle-class suckers sure but like ultimately who gives a shit if someone pays double for some cookware?

          Thanks for the info; Big L for me.

          As for double price for cookware; I’m ngl if I’m experiencing unprecedented CoL, have no job or housing security, and have no prospects for the future (all of which are entirely out my control) I would be kinda mad if my VP decided to buy some bougie shit. After all, my money is paying for that lifestyle and not my or other’s survival.
