New kitchenware for the chef

The photo shows a set of kitchenware that we purchased while we were house-sitting. We went into a big shopping mall just to see what stores were there. They seemed to have at least two of every sort of shop. We spotted a store selling kitchen items and at the front door were boxes such as the one in the photo. The notice said 85% off. Notices like this always catch my eye and I pointed it out to Vince. He is about ready for some new pots and pans. These are non-stick and just what we need. They were about $200 instead of $1,100. We checked the price elsewhere when we got home and the original price is correct. The saleslady said the sets had been marked down because the company had changed the design of the handles and wanted to get rid of the old stock. So their loss, if any, was our gain. Vince says his cooking will improve now, not that I think it needs too. I'm sorry it isn't a better photo.

They're now in the cupboards. The ones they've replaced have gone to the op shop so all is well.

@MarieCoyle I had kept some from the motor-home too so we got them all out and decided what to keep and what to donate. I kept a few of the old ones, in particular a couple of smaller saucepans.

@JudyEv That's good that you donated the old ones. I love my set of pots and pans, I've had them for years now and they still look new.

He said 'now I'll cook some great meals' as if the saucepans are going to make all the difference! lol

It was a huge saving. We would never have bought them at the full price.

@JudyEv I took a picture of a shadow box in the wall of a miniature scene that I will do a post about. I thought of you when I saw it at the hotel.

Thanks. We were lucky not to just keep walking but 85% off the price caught my eye. The rest, as they say, will be history. lol

That looks like a really nice set of pots & pans. Certainly a bargain and glad you got to take advantage of the markdown price. Can't wait to hear what Vince creates with his new set of pots & pans.

@JudyEv we need new frying pans/skillets and I was telling my daughter about your new set and the bargain you got it for. She was very impressed.

@Marilynda1225 It seems incredible that it was offered so cheaply. I hope you're able to pick up a similar bargain.

I was thinking maybe they upped the price before putting them up so cheaply but we went online and found them in several other stores and the price seemed genuine.

This was a good deal and the set looks really good, perfect size of pots and pans. I like those handles, they usually do not get hot even on a hot countertop stove.

You are lucky to land a real bargain. A substantial markdown for a handle design change. And you needed them too than get carried away by the bargain.

We were managing quite well but this was a real opportunity to upgrade what we had.
