18/10 Flatware - Anyone Know Of A Deal / What's The Right Price Point?

Jun 8, 2012 12:24 PM

I'm in the market for a nice set of 18/10 flatware. I really really wished I'd pull the trigger on the set on Home Woot in January. I saw it in the morning and waited until I got to work to really look into it and it was sold out by the time I got to it. It's honestly my single biggest Woot regret. Heh.

I'm in the market for 8-12 settings. 8 would likely be all I'd need but 12 would be nice to have some spares and a little bit of leeway. Not sure if it trumps my penny pinching enough to spend the extra. :)

That said, I've been nosing around for a set since then. My question is twofold:

1) Anyone know of any particularly good deals right now for a set you think is worth jumping on?

2) What do you all think is the right price point to pull the trigger on a set? Obviously, I wouldn't be here if I wasn't a deal hound that hates paying regular price for anything. What price would make you pull the trigger?

In case anyone is still looking, I got this set today:
http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?SKU=14084908&RN=505&
$79.99 for 18/10 service for 8. Then use the 20% coupons that either come in the mail all the time, you get for signing up to their email blasts, or signing up your cell phone number (heck no lol). $67.83 out the door. :-)

They're not my cup of tea though. A little too "girly" for me. lol

Sometimes a piece will get lost but occasionally you will find an extra piece. Maybe it rematerialized from someone else's set. I just don't know where it came from. However, the company went out of business years ago so I need to buy a new set, or two, myself.

@pooflady: I bought 2 sets when I purchased my last flatware 10 years ago. I figured that way I'd have replacement pieces when needed. I found that spare set when moving 2 years ago and was able to replenish my stock of spoons and forks. =D

@pooflady: Keep on blaming the kids -- all's fair in love and routine household loss.

Get the 12 piece set. Take it from a senior citizen. For years we blamed our kids for throwing away pieces of silverware when they cleared their plates off the table. Unfortunately, the kids have been gone for years and we're still losing them occasionally.

@justagigilo85: Thansk for the tip. Not sold on that pattern though it's by no means ugly or anything. I may keep an eye out for one of those 20% coupons they always have out there and check them out in person.

I'm looking for a set as well. And I've been kicking myself over that previous Woot deal too!

Keep in mind that 18/8 and 18/10 are actually the same thing. A small amount of deception/marketing done there.

@justagigilo85 That's the EXACT set we got for our wedding. I completely agree and would totally recommend this set.

We also went to Macy's and they had a ton of flatware on sale, so I would recommend checking them out. Good luck!

Looks great and it has a great weight in your hand. I love them.

Costco has a very good price for a 46-piece, 8 place setting, Reed and Barton McKenna 18/10 flatware set at $74.99.

Keep looking and be patient. Something similar will come up (either on Woot or somewhere posted here). You are educated and know you want 18/10. There are plenty of flatwear deals on 18/0 and other junk: there aren't nearly as many deals on the stuff you really want.

If you can, get a 12 place setting. I don't know what happens to flatwear, but there is some kind of crazy evaporation going on: over stuff disappears from the drawer. Get more than you need.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
