A thrift shopper has shared their excitement after finding a set of Le Creuset Vancouver mugs at HomeGoods for $5 (£3.60) each, describing the purchase as an "incredibly good deal."
Posting on Reddit's Le Creuset forum, the shopper wrote: "Just started collecting and found these for a STEAL!" They added that they also picked up Vancouver plates for $10 (£7.30) each and a casserole dish for $45 (£33).
Shopper's colour choice
The buyer chose thyme as their main colour, noting: "But the oyster blends in pretty well – it just doesn't help the OCD around wanting everything to match."
Fellow Reddit users were quick to express their envy. One commented: "That's an incredible deal." Another said: "Lucky you! My Homegoods just has a bunch of garbage lowkey." A third wrote: "Gawd I'm so jealous. I've been wanting those mugs forever."
Le Creuset price comparison
On the official Le Creuset website, a single stoneware mug costs about £18, depending on size and type. A 12-piece dinnerware set is priced at £300 online.
Casserole dishes vary in price, with round cast iron options ranging from £229 to £435. The cast iron oval casserole, one of the best sellers, costs between £325 and £609 brand new from the website.
