Why I Love Le Creuset Cookware
I’m a big fan of Le Creuset cookware, baking dishes, utensils, and other kitchen tools. They are considered a luxury brand and the original enameled cast iron cookware. However, purchase these items to use them for life. Inexpensive brands won’t hold up as long. You truly get what you pay for!
Le Creuset cast iron is highly regarded for heat retention and durability. Each piece is handcrafted and has a chip-resistant enamel coating. Plus, Le Creuset offers a lifetime warranty that also extends to outlet items.

How Much Of A Discount Is There Really At The Outlet?
Prices vary depending on the current promotion, but discounts are usually up to 50% off. You can find exclusive discounts at the outlet that would be hard to find anywhere else.
Some prices are marked (like this classic oval casserole dish set at $87.99 as shown below) while others have an additional discount (like the 50% off clearance section).
Wouldn’t these dishes be perfect for fruit cobblers? Or any dessert!
Every tag has an “outlet price” but ask an associate to make sure that is the final price since there are several different promotions depending on the item.
For example, this round green 2 QT Dutch oven is marked as $234, but it was an additional 40% off. You can compare the items to the retail price to see what kind of deal you are getting.
I recommend taking a picture of the item and using Google Lens to reverse search the item to find it online. This way, you can ensure you are getting jaw-dropping deals.
This is one of my best tips when shopping at HomeGoods for various Le Creuset products, too!
Are The Deals Worth The Trip?
I think so! You can expect highly discounted Le Creuset pieces at steep discounts that make the trip to the Le Creuset outlet worth visiting.
Featured below was the clearance table sale when I last visited. These were truly awesome deals, most of which were 50% off the already marked-down price.
Let’s compare a few items I found that are still available online. The round 2 QT Dutch oven I mentioned earlier is available online on the Le Creuset website on sale for $182 for a limited time and after the discount at the outlet, it is $140. Talk about a great deal on cast iron pots!

I found the 2.25 QT cast iron braiser on sale on Amazon for $232 but after the discount at the outlet, it is $174. It’s the perfect choice!
Some of the deals on cookware I saw included their signature pots, dutch ovens, braisers, stock pots, and grill pans. Not only do they have cookware, but they have tons of accessories too! You can find everything from pasta bowls, pizza stones, salt and pepper shakers, and utensils. They have everything you need to get the right job done in the kitchen!
They even had special bowls for French onion soup! I went to 2 different outlet locations within a few days and there was a lot of the same inventory, but some differences too, especially in colors and sizes. So, if you are looking for something in particular and have more than 1 outlet nearby, call them!
How Is The Quality At The Le Creuset Outlet?
The pieces at the outlet are the same quality you would find buying directly from Le Creuset. The only difference is they may be overstock, in certain styles/colors that didn’t sell as well, or second quality (items with slight imperfections).
Important reminder – any item considered “second quality” should be labeled, but I would inspect any item before purchasing it from the outlet.
For the most part, though, these items were once sold in the regular Le Creuset retailers and have now just made it to the outlet still in pristine condition. In short, the quality is Le Creuset’s signature premium material that we all know and love from Le Creuset.
Shopping Discounted Le Creuset Online
You can’t shop the Le Creuset outlet online but you can still shop Le Creuset’s good deals directly on the Le Creuset website in their “specials shop” if you are ready to shop today from the couch!
I have also found discounted Le Creuset in-store at HomeGoods and TJ Maxx and online at TJ Maxx and Marshalls.
Unfortunately, you won’t be able to search Le Creuset directly on the web version of TJ Maxx and Marshalls so keep an eye out for an array of products from the brand in their cookware and bakeware section. These items are usually discontinued, overstock, or second quality, similar to the outlet.
I have purchased a few Le Creuset dishes from HomeGoods and have never had any issues with them. If they had any imperfections, you couldn’t even tell. For the lower price on the world’s finest premium cookware, I’ll take it!
I’ve spotted Le Creuset dutch ovens in store at HomeGoods, and I may have to splurge on one of them. Isn’t that blue shade gorgeous?
I love that Le Creuset items are pretty enough to leave out on your counter or stove as decor when you aren’t using them. You may also find Le Creuset on sale online from big-name retailers like Williams Sonoma, Amazon, and Wayfair.
Le Creuset Outlet Locations
The good news? Le Creuset outlets are all over the country. Chances are, you probably have one closer than you think. Check out the list of all Le Creuset outlet locations here.
I have visited two Le Creuset outlet stores personally. The first store I visited was in Charleston, SC (4840 Tanger Outlet Blvd #421, Charleston SC 29418), and the second was in Bluffton, SC (1256 Fording Island Road, Bluffton SC 29910).
Both are located inside a Tanger Outlet shopping center. The Le Creuset outlet in Bluffton is just a few stores down from the Serena & Lily outlet!
Conclusion
Aside from the amazing deals, the outlet is a great spot to shop especially if you are looking for something discontinued or collecting specific Le Creuset colors or styles.
Although I don’t have a massive Le Creuset collection or use them exclusively, I enjoy the pieces I have and always get compliments on the pretty blue color. Plus, I don’t think I’ve ever had to pay retail prices!
They make the perfect gift for new homeowners, home cooks, or newlyweds. They are such good quality and made to last. I would love to know your experience with the Le Creuset store and whether or not you have shopped at the outlet!
