People say I’m ‘extremely lucky’ when they see my Goodwill find for just $5.72
A money-saving woman has amazed home cooks after finding a highly sought-after casserole at a bargain price.
She spent a lot of time looking for the classic cast iron bowl to add to her collection before making the purchase.
Liz Marie (@liz_marie_bakes) has amassed nearly 15,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares her love for cooking.
The foodie said she searched “religiously” for months for a casserole before spotting a Le Creuset Cast Iron Heart Casserole dish at Goodwill.
The versatile bowl can be used for making one-pot recipes, casseroles, as well as soups and bread.
The cookware cost a whopping $220 before selling out on the brand’s website, but Liz only paid a fraction of the cost.
She showed off the heart-shaped red bowl inside and out as she talked about how much she bought it for in her kitchen.
Liz said it cost $9.99, but she only paid $5.72 because she had a 50% off coupon.
She admitted she started crying at the checkout because she was so “excited” after previously visiting the store six times a week in search of the dish.
“I hope you love this thrift store find as much as I do,” she said.
Liz said there is usually a coupon on the receipt if you donate to Goodwill and sign up for their texts.
Viewers were impressed with her budget-friendly purchase, with more than 7,800 people liking the video and others taking to the comments section in shock.
“I literally gasped when I saw the price,” one person wrote.
“Dude, that’s a huge STEAL for Le Creuset,” another commented.
“This is great luck,” said a third.

“Well time for me to move to a rich area with a Goodwill,” another added.
“The red one is no longer available, so extra value,” said a viewer.
“Ah!!! I didn’t know this! That makes it even more special. Thanks for letting me know,” Liz replied.
The purchase comes after another customer at Goodwill was thrilled when they found a frying pan.
Ellen (@maggiemaethrift) bought Le Creuset’s signature Chambray Dutch Oven, which cost $419.95, for just $12.99.
She thoroughly inspected the cookware before taking it home after noticing it was partially stuck.
She admitted to being surprised by her “happiness” when she visited the store late in the day.
