Judging by the downvotes on your comment and anyone else who has echoed what you said, you hit the nail on the head and hit a few nerves.

I’m starting to think BIFL is often an excuse to justify paying more for prestige labels.

I have the Lodge enamelled DO and it’s nice. The LC is slightly lighter and that’s about it. Both cook equally well.

Unlike pots and pans I don’t think it really matters much when it comes to enamelled cast iron. I’m sure someone will chime in with a whataboutism but the Lodge is good quality for less than half the price.

I have some casserole dishes from LC and I’d say they’re worth it. They’re a nice weight and weighted well so they’re easy to handle.

My LC kettle is also great. I suspect it will last my whole lifetime, although there are many kettles that would achieve this.

LC mugs are nice and hold up well. Like Muncie4 said, your question lacks depth. Maybe try over in the LC sub.

It’s a great brand, but you can get very similar results from other brands. It’s just whether you value LC I guess. Get what you can afford and what will bring value to your cooking.

Staying up to 3am researching incoming…

IKEA has some really great feather pillows although pillows and mattresses aren’t bifl items.

As far as toppers and mattresses, I’m following this intensely as I’m awake in agony with back pain from my mattress/bed set up.

They’re durable and the soles are good, but I didn’t like the squelching when they were wet. They just felt cumbersome and rubbed blisters on me.

Very, very long lasting shoes at least.
