FOX BUSINESS FLASH TOP HEADLINES FOR OCTOBER 24

Costco may be a well-known spot to buy groceries in bulk, but the wholesaler has
recently gone viral for selling a cult classic cookware brand — Le Creuset.




Le Creuset has been manufacturing colorful cookware since 1925, according to the
brand's website.

Costco fans on social media appeared to be shocked to see the sale of this
specific brand since it has apparently become a favorite among cooking
professionals and connoisseurs.

COSTCO QUICKLY SELLING OUT OF GOLD BARS LISTED ON WHOLESALER'S WEBSITE:
'IMPECCABLE QUALITY'



In a now viral X post garnering over 21.5 million views, a finance and tech
content creator announced that Costco sells a "Le Creuset 157-piece Ultimate
Cookware Set" for $4,499.99.

kitchenware set by Le Creuset — retailing at over $8,000. (Costco.com / Fox
News)



"Includes Dutch ovens, dinnerware, French press, utensils, 6 assorted frying &
saucepans, two stockpots, kettle, & more - 1 to 2 weeks to deliver - Costco also
sells a L.C. 9 pc. stainless steel set for $500, 9 pc. nonstick set for $400, &
a 21 pc. stainless steel set for $1,400," the post on X reads.

The price tag on this package is on the high end, but each item comes out to
less than $27 per kitchen utensil — a price that is rarely be seen in a Le
Creuset product.



COSTCO SHOPPER SAYS HE CRACKED SECRET TO WHOLESALER'S PRICE TAGS AND MYSTERIOUS
ASTERISK: 'AN INSANE DEAL'



Fans of both the French cookware and the wholesaler have already sold out of the
item online.

The product has seemingly "broken the internet" as a 404 error code whenever you
try to view the 157-piece set on Costco.com.




This deal includes cookware, bakeware, dinnerware, serveware and other
accessories, according to the wholesaler's website.

"This exclusive set includes cast iron, stoneware, stainless steel, toughened
non-stick PRO, silicone and much more," the product's description states.

The delivery is so large, Costco has included a "pallet delivery" with the
purchase of the item.



Other Le Creuset items are still available online, but some can only be
purchased by those with a membership.

COSTCO MEMBERS CAN BUY GIFT CARDS FOR LESS THAN ACTUAL STICKER PRICE, TIKTOK
USER REVEALS



Some users on X shared thoughts in the comments section about Costco's offering.



"Ridiculous price. Unbundle and buy the pieces you need," one man wrote.

"but if you do use everything it is a massive steal price wise," the original Le
Creuset poster on X replied.

"That's a steal considering," one woman said.

their Le Creuset finds on social media. (Costco.com / Fox News)

A Reddit thread has also been created with many people asking if the price tag
should really be considered a "deal."

One Reddit user went ahead and calculated out the cost of each item if it were
to be purchased individually on the Le Creuset website.



Based on that user's calculations, the suggested retail price comes down to
$8,005.95, but when adding any additional sales or discounts on the cookware's
site, it could be as low as $5,280.149, the person argued.

COSTCO SOFA GOES VIRAL, CAUSING DEBATE ON TIKTOK: 'WAY TOO EXPENSIVE'

Aside from the price being a major topic of discussion, many people did not find
the set to be practical unless you are looking to start you kitchen collection
from scratch.

"Most people who want 157 pieces of LC probably already have 57 pieces at home
and don't want doubles," one Reddit user wrote.

"Maybe there are people who want to equip the empty kitchen at their vacation
home without making any decisions, but it would not be a lot harder to select
items on a website," the user continued.

Le Cresuet is known for their exuberant colors, which is why many shoppers
appear to not be a fan of the set only containing one hue.

"My biggest problem is that it all matches. I want at least one of every color,"
another user added to thread.

restocked before anyone can purchase this item. (iStock/Costco.com / Fox News)

It seems as though consensus on social media is that Le Creuset lovers prefer
selecting specific pieces instead of investing in this 157-piece set.
