My usual Tuesday Morning shopping for anything vaguely expensive is to see
what they've got, then get online and compare prices, check some reviews if
I'm not sure, and then go back and buy if it looks good. The store is less
than a mile from my house, so it's not like it's a road trip. And there have
been times when I've seen the same items at retailers at the same time
they're at TM. Sometimes it's just that a store/chain is phasing out a
particular brand of something and they dump the excess stock, even though
other stores are still selling the item. Or, of course, when a newer
model/color/packaging is replacing an older one. Which doesn't matter a
whole lot to me unless there are newer functions that I want. I haven't gone
wrong yet.

Thanks for the info on the stockpots. I looked at some of the Le Creusets,
but I wasn't even tempted. Mostly they had the round and oval Dutch ovens,
and I don't need one. I didn't see any larger stockpots, but I don't need
any of those just now either.
