Where do you buy kitchenware?

Snookums · 7 Aug 2015 at 18:31

Starting my second year at uni in September and need to buy new kitchenware. The stuff I bought this on the cheap hasn't lasted at all. So I'm looking to spend a bit more and get a decent set of everything to last me. Just don't really know the best places to buy it for a decent price. Any so's and don't's with cookware either?

Marks and spencer often have decent plates and mugs and stuff. My plates and bowls from them have lasted years and not showing any signs of age - weren't cheap though.

For pots and pans look at procook

I borrow it from other people and never return it.

Have a look at www.procook.co.uk I have a shop quite near me and got nearly everything we needed when we bought our house.

B&M generally have some great bargains.

HomeSense if you have one nearby.

My local Sainsbury's Super Store. I buy the more expensive stuff as they have a range.

I hope your student housemates (if you have any) look after your kitchenware, otherwise there's no point getting nicer stuff!

No intention of sharing, at least this year. Changing Uni so I'm in halls.

I recently bought a big set of cookware that I can use with my induction hob. I bought them from procook and am very happy with them. Very good service from procook too.

For a student .... IKEA.

For a non-student .... John Lewis, Lakeland or IKEA dependent on item.
