MICHAEL: Yeah, that’s such a real concern. And I think my best advice is always to first of all, don’t feel like you have to get everything all at once, right? Like, I think we live in this culture of like buy, buy, buy, and we feel like, oh God, I need to have all these things. It’s like, you know what? You can really just acquire things slowly. Like, for instance, my all-clad, I have a full set of all-clad, but I just bought a piece by piece over several years, but now I will never have to buy it again. You know, and I love to look at it hanging on the wall and being like, I’ll never have to worry about buying that ever again in my life. But, you know, it does take time, so you just have to be patient. But I do think looking at estate sales, I think looking at thrift stores, you can find really great deals on cast iron especially and enameled Dutch ovens. You can also, if you look for certified refurbished appliances, those are another really good way to get marked down in price for a really good quality product.
