I scored such a kitchen gem at the thrift store – the cashier was not happy about the $12 price tag but I sure was
A SHOPPER has secured a coveted kitchen find — at a fraction of its actual value.
The piece was priced so low, even the cashier didn’t seem too happy about it.
Redditor TheGreenTeaFrog shared the steal in a post to the social media platform.
“Today was a good day,” they said.
They added several photos of the second-hand shop gem, including a $12 price tag.
“Cashier was not happy with the pricing on this,” the thrifter added of the kitchen staple.
“I was a little concerned he would refuse to sell it to me.”
FRENCH CUISINE
The Redditor found a piece from famed homeware brand, Le Creuset.
Their Signature Enameled Cast Iron Square Grill Pan, like the one they found, goes for a whopping $225 on Williams Sonoma.
It’s an ideal piece for cooking meats due to the ridges inside of the pan.
The made in France cookware line is known for its durability and style.
CROWD REACTION
Several Redditors weighed in on the Le Creuset piece — and the cashier’s reaction — in the comment section.
“My local thrift store allows people working to choose up to three things to put aside while working,” one wrote.
“[They do this] because it’s volunteer staffed and it’s such a good system to keep workers from taking everything off the shelves while also rewarding people who volunteer.
“I feel like it’s a better system because it means workers won’t hide things so they can come back for it, or get upset when someone else gets it first, so everyone is happier.”
“Guaranteed just jealous they got a Le Creuset pan for $11.99 lol,” another added.
“Good thing they priced it four times to remove all doubt,” a third chimed in.
“I’m fairly certain I was up charged for an item at a thrift store a few years ago because the cashier was salty I found such good deals,” yet another said.
“I wasn’t going to fight it, but I still feel negatively about that store.”
One Redditor even told a story of their own Le Creuset bargain outside of second-hand shopping.
“Great color. I found one of these at Marshalls, same brand and size, but it was orange and less than $20,” one more said.
“Marshalls can be like a treasure hunt, too.”
