Costco has gone viral after a 157-piece set designed by iconic French cookware brand Le Creuset was made available on the wholesaler's website for $4,499.99.
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.
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. "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.
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.
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. A Reddit thread has also been created with many people asking if the price tag should really be considered a "deal.
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.
