I found an All-Clad D5 3 quart saute pan at Home Goods for $100.00. It usually sells for around $250.00. You almost have to treat the TJX stores as thrift stores, but you'll find some really good deals there if you stop by there once in a while and know what you're looking at.

[@adamphynes7342]

My best find at a Home Goods was a Copper Core 5qt sauté for like $35 I think. Someone must not have known what they were pricing. Also found a 12” copper core fry pan for like $50. I don’t find those types of deals anymore, & it’s been a while since I’ve seen any of the higher end all-clad. I think they know how to properly price the cookware now, & that they don’t buy as much. But I have almost 60 pieces of All-Clad now, & I never paid full retail for any of it.

@@adamphynes7342 I purchased 8 and 12" AC Coppercore skillets at Home Goods recently for around 40% off. And I'll still see some more Coppercore and D5 here and there. But you're right that they've gotten smarter with the pricing. Years ago, you'd see just stupid 80 and 90% discounts, but now you'll rarely see more than 50%.

Thanks for the great videos. We just remodeled our kitchen and we’re in the market for new cookware. Nearly ordered an $800 set online but decided to watch some of your videos and get more informed. Watched this video and checked out TJ Maxx and Home Goods. Found the Allclad H1 nonstick 10 piece set (retails for $500) for $199. Saved ourselves hundreds of $$. Thank you!!!!!

[@StarlitSpirit]

I'm a young home cook who has been using the cheap low quality cookware for years. I stumbled upon a Viking stainless steel sautee pan at a TJ Maxx last week for only 40$ and it's so nice to know that there is a more affordable way to buy good quality cookware. I will definitely check out these stores again in the future if I decide to buy another piece of cookware.

[@miguelmora3629]

Awsome video! I just wanted to add that TJX actually owns 5 stores, the last store is Sierra Trading Post (not very common, there is only one in my city). I only mention this since they usually hold most of the lodge cast Iorn from 6.5 to 13 inch skillets plus the Dutch ovens at similar discounted prices.

[@PrudentReviews]

Good call - I didn’t realize they sold cookware too. I haven’t been to one yet but I’ll have to check it out.

[@miguelmora3629]

@@PrudentReviews I wouldn't expect anything more then the cast iorn there. Sierra is more camping/outdoors focused. I haven't seen cooking stuff like the other stores.

[@PrudentReviews]

@@miguelmora3629 that makes sense

[@keithhastings]

I really like this video! Another good place is Ross. Also, don’t forget about good old garage sales. I recently snagged 2 All-Clad D3 pans (10 and 12 inch) in great shape for less than 5 bucks! Some folks don’t know what they have.

[@PrudentReviews]

Haven’t been to a garage sale in a while but if you get lucky you can find some gems

[@corrinejacobson9232]

I have listened to you and I am on the All Clad Factory sales. Some of the pans I purchased are outstanding and A LOT cheaper. Thanks!

[@PrudentReviews]

👏 love to hear it

[@Axle1007]

Man, i just want to say thank you! I have been looking to toss my old cheap cookware for a while now. Today i was able to throw one pan out and add a viking fry pan! And it saved me a lot!

[@PrudentReviews]

You’re welcome! Love to hear it!

My husband bought me a Made IN Pan for mothers day (yes I wanted it) & it is GREAT!!!!!

[@PrudentReviews]

Love it! Which one? Stainless steel?

[@neilquinn]

Tramontina has run some really cheap deals on their tri-ply clad stuff in the past. I managed to snag 4 pieces for only $100 a couple years ago. Just have to watch for the best sales. This was what I got in October 2022: 12 Inch Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Fry Pan - Boston Handle 1 un. $ 17.95 Tri-Ply Clad 2 Qt Covered Stainless Steel Covered Sauce Pan - Glass Lid 1 un. $ 19.75 Tri-Ply Clad 5 Qt Stainless Steel Covered Dutch Oven - Glass Lid 1 un. $ 26.95 6 Qt Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Covered Deep Sauté Pan - Glass Lids 1 un. $ 35.95

Ross is another one of those places to get good cookware at a really good price.

[@erichoehn8262]

Great video… very informative. We have purchased several seconds from LeCreuset. Mostly paint drips etc,

[@jamescampbell2190]

I wandered into Homegoods one day and ran across a 10 piece Viking cookware set for $249.99. I had some Rewards certificates and got the whole shebang for $210.00. I was in New Hampshire so there wasn’t even sales tax. I looked the same set on Amazon and they were asking $749.00. Score!

[@borisstanislav4560]

I got my very first high-end All-clad skillet at Bed Bath and Beyond, it was a display model and on top I used one of those 20% off coupons they had.

[@anderander5662]

I did something similar, had a 20% and a 15% coupon and they let me stack them! Was already marked down.

[@grimTales1]

Is TJ Maxx the same as TK Maxx in the UK?

[@CatherineC.2123]

I really miss the Essex Retail Outlet stores around Nashville TN.

[@peterl.104]

I didn’t have any luck with my last visit to HomeGoods and similar discount stores. Besides Lodge cast iron that wasn’t discounted much, probably because the price is already so low, everything was either non-stick or made in China.

[@jamescampbell2190]

TJX practices what’s known as “opportunistic buying” to stock their stores, so it will vary as to what you will find. They also target their merchandising to suit the clientele for each location. Search the stores in higher income areas and you’ll probably have better luck. Don’t bother asking the employees when the “good stuff” is coming in because they don’t know.

[@anngordon7487]

Have you tested Pyrex and. Anyday in microwaves?

[@1804unclesam]

I can vouch for this. I just picked up an entire set of Viking non stick cookware for $250, it’s the set they sell for $600.

Tip#1 has served me well over the years. It is quite a hit-or-miss but when you do find something nice, it will be cheap.

I recently got a All-clad D5 8 qt pot at Home goods for less then half price.

[@PrudentReviews]

Amazing deal 👍🏼

[@rainsoakedpuppy]

That All-Clad sale has some really good deals sometimes. I got a 6-quart D3 saute pan with a lid for $129, once. One of those with package damage.

[@PrudentReviews]

Then”damaged package” ones are the best - who cares if the box is damaged?

[@alansnipes3101]

This is great advice. I have found a couple of things at these locations.

I could not click on the link for the all clad sale on your welcome letter after I subscribed to your newsletter. The links Looked active, but would not activate.

[@Yeshua027]

As to the All clad factory sale is that they will not ship to the UK

[@PrudentReviews]

Good call, I should have mentioned that. They ship within the US only.

[@JudgeՏamson]

I got my 8.5 inch G5 off eBay for 119, I think it's 179 elsewhere. No box or lid, but I already had a lid that fit it. The deal is still up it looks like, and there is one left.

[@pureessenceofgaming1745]

ive seen these at tjx stores but the non stick stuff is scratched to hell be careful.

[@PrudentReviews]

You definitely need to inspect it. Often they break up the sets and sell the pieces individually, so it’s not in the original packaging and can get damaged.

Thrift shops are some of the most depressing places to be in.

[@anderander5662]

Not always...I found three All-Clad pieces at Goodwill for $5.99 each.....12 inch skillet, 3 quart saute pan and 6 quart dutch oven. They were dirty but otherwise in perfect condition. Retail was: $150. $199. And $299. Lids alone were $30 each retail. Thirty minutes with some Barkeeper's Friend and I had $600+ of cookware for $20.
