How to Save on Le Creuset, Up to 50% Off Clearance & Deals (Including Dutch Ovens!)

Le Creuset (l’uh-cru-say) is one of the most iconic kitchen brands out there, but it doesn’t come cheap — they’re known for their impeccable quality and free replacements should that quality ever disappoint, which it very rarely does. While the upfront investment is more than any Krazy Coupon Lady wants to pay, the cost-per-use of this heirloom-quality cookware will eventually go down to fractions of a penny. Like KitchenAid, air fryer, and Instant Pot, Le Creuset cookware is a kitchen essential. Still though, if you can get it on sale, why wouldn’t you? Learn all about how to save on Le Creuset here.

For such a premium product, there are actually a lot of ways to save — enough so that you should never settle for just the market value. From outlets to cash back, you’ll be saving enough to build up your own coveted collection in no time.

 

1. Head to the outlets for up to 50% off during the Factory to Table Sale.

Did you know Le Creuset has outlets in 36 states across the country? On a regular day, you can expect to get ~15% off (which, considering the cost, is still a good deal), but during the Factory to Table Sale in August you can get 30 – 50% off. If you’re not near a Le Creuset outlet, you can still shop the sale online for up to 40% off. Another place to shop at a steep discount is the Williams-Sonoma outlet, where I’ve personally seen the cookware reach 50% off on multiple occasions — just check their Instagram or call to find out before making the trek. One thing to be aware of is that a lot of the stock at the Le Creuset outlet store is considered “seconds,” or cookware with a tiny imperfection like a bubble in the enamel.

 

2. Visit the Specials Shop for exclusive promotions.

Where is the Specials Shop, you may wonder? It’s on the Le Creuset website, hidden in plain sight. I used to assume they were too fancy to have sales on their own website, but that’s not true. In fact, the Le Creuset sale section is clearly listed on the far right of their top navigation (*insert facepalm here*). When it comes to how to save on Le Creuset, this is one of the simplest options.

 

3. Start thrifting to score some pre-loved treasures.

In addition to your local consignment and resale shops, sites like Ebay, Etsy, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace can be a gold mine for Le Creuset on the cheap. Some pieces may have a little more wear and tear (which is really just character), but you may also find long-retired colors and collaborations. Make sure to do some comp research when you see a piece you like so you don’t end up overpaying.

 

4. Get up to 6% cash back with RetailMeNot and other programs.

Cash-back programs are the best because even if you pay full price, you still end up saving. While Le Creuset is excluded from coupons at Bed Bath & Beyond, it’s still eligible for 6% cash back from RetailMeNot (same goes for if you’re buying it at Macy’s). Different programs and retailers have different offers, so if these places don’t have what you’re looking for, you can still get cash back elsewhere. When learning how to save on Le Creuset, you should take advantage of cash back wherever you’re shopping online.

 

5. Sift through the discount stores for hidden gems.

T.J.Maxx, Marshalls, Homegoods, and Tuesday Morning have all been known to stock Le Creuset clearance. Is it common enough that you should scope out every store in your area? Probably not, but you should definitely swing through the kitchen section if you’re already there. To up your chances, don’t wait until the weekend to shop. Instead, pop by midweek when new merch arrives and there’s less competition. You may also have some luck sifting through what’s for sale on their websites, though, heads up, you can’t search them by brand. Like outlets, a lot of these products are usually seconds with some sort of super minor flaw.

 

6. Look for discontinued colors and less popular styles up to 40% off.

Part of the fun of Le Creuset is its mix of iconic and limited edition colors. While you won’t find a lot of their legendary Flame color on sale, their retired colors are typically fair game. Same goes for their unique styles — best sellers aren’t marked down as much as others. You’ll find them at the outlets, websites, and discount stores mentioned above and also at places like Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, Sur La Table, and local kitchen shops.
