Thought you might like this article located here: https://right-thoughts.us/index.php/weblog/comments/random_shopping_cooking_post/ Random shopping/cooking post I found the following a bit of a comment on why brick & mortar is ultimately doomed.  It will take a long time, mainly due to Wal-Mart’s power.  But brick & mortar will die. I’ve been looking for more cast iron pans.  I have a great old one that is seasoned just right.  About 20 years old now, i think, but it’s 8” and I have to do mushrooms like 6 at a time in it.  I want a grill pan and a 12” skillet...so i hit bed Bath & Beyond and they have no Lodge cookware. No.  Lodge.  Iron.  It was all Emeril’s branded iron, and it was rough.  The casts looked cheap and awful.  No amount of seasoning would smooth that out.  Plus they were $29.99 a pop for the 12” pans.  No.  The 10” square grill pans were also $29.99. Amazon has the Lodge Logic 12” pre-seasoned skillet for $18.58 with free shipping.  If you want to finish it yourself with peanut oil and the oven, you can get the unseasoned for $15.25.  The 10" square grill pan is $19.99 at Amazon with free shipping. Let me recap: These two pans - inferior versions, I might add, would cost me $63.57 with tax at the only place around here that has a decent cookware selection.  At Amazon, I paid $44.56 plus I got two hot handle holders. Amazon beats brick & mortar, at least in this case.
