Yes, Costco has a 157-piece Le Creuset set for sale in case an army is coming for Thanksgiving

There’s a lot of reasons to love Costco. I mean, where else can you pick up a year’s worth of toilet paper, get your eyes checked, fill your gas tank and top it all off with a $1.50 hot dog? Nowhere but heaven, I suppose.

But beyond the steals, deals and skids of products I don’t always need but definitely want, my favorite thing is the absolutely bananas items you probably didn’t even realize they carry. (Followed closely by envisioning who might be buying them.) Things like a seven foot tall teddy bear that must only be purchased by grandparents with an ax to grind, 5,400 servings of apocalypse-ready just-add-water meals, or a kilogram of caviar which might be a deal for $1,399? (I don’t know. This is not my arena.)

But thanks to a post on X (formerly Twitter) from user @gannonbreslin I now I have new obsession. The Costco Le Creuset set. “Costco is now offering a 157-piece Le Creuset set for $4,500 that arrives at your home on a PALLET,” he informs. Generously, the shipping is included, but you’re going to need to rally 25 of your closest friends to wrangle it from the pallet into to your home.

Listen, I love Le Creuset enough that I basically threw an elbow to score one at a yard sale once. But this? This is too much. As one could expect, the comments make some great points. “Ridiculous price. Unbundle and buy the pieces you need.” Noted, however as the poster himself points out, “But if you do use everything it is a massive steal price wise.”

I also can’t help but think if you had the wherewithal to sell it off piece by piece, you’d stand to make a decent profit. (That said, I have sweaters I’m too lazy to Poshmark, so I’m not this person either.)

As far as practicality, another user offers “This is complete overkill for almost everyone haha. Multiple Dutch ovens, multiple casserole dishes, the gravy dish that gets used once a year…” I’d have to agree here too. I’m 41 and do not, as far as I know, even own a gravy boat.

Oh, Costco. Never change.
