A MONEY-SAVVY woman has amazed home cooks after finding a highly sought-after casserole dish for a bargain price.
She spent considerable time looking for the classic cast iron dish to add to her collection before purchasing.
Liz Marie (@liz_marie_bakes) has garnered almost 15,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her love of cooking.
The foodie said she had spent months “religiously” looking for a Dutch oven before spotting a Le Creuset Cast Iron Heart Casserole dish at Goodwill.
The versatile dish can be used to make one-pot recipes, casseroles, as well as soups, and bread.
The cookware was an eye-watering $220 before it sold out on the brand’s website, but Liz paid just a fraction of the cost.
She showed the inside and out of the heart-shaped red dish as she spoke in her kitchen about how much she bought it for.
Liz said it was priced at $9.99 but she paid just $5.72 because she had a 50% off coupon.
She admitted that she began to cry at the checkout because she was so “excited” after visiting the store up to six times a week in search of the dish previously.
“I hope you guys love this thrift find as much as I do,” she said.
Liz said there’s usually a coupon on the receipt if you donate to Goodwill and sign up for their texts.
Viewers were in awe of her budget-friendly buy with over 7,800 people liking the video and others taking to the comment section in shock.
“I literally gasped when I saw the price,” one person wrote.
“Dude that’s a freaking STEAL for Le Creuset,” another commented.
“This is amazing luck,” a third chimed in.

“Welp time for me to go to a rich area with a Goodwill,” another added.
“The red one is discontinued so extra value,” a viewer said.
“Ahh!!! I didn’t know this! That makes it even more special. Thanks for letting me know,” Liz replied.
The purchase comes after another shopper at Goodwill was delighted when they found a Dutch oven.
Ellen (@maggiemaethrift) bought Le Creuset’s Signature Chambray Dutch Oven which cost $419.95 for just $12.99.
She inspected the cookware thoroughly before taking it home after noticing it was partially taped down.
She confessed to being surprised by her “luck” as she had visited the store late in the day.
