Dinnerware?

[MsSassyBaskets]

DH broke a plate while I was gone, and that leaves us at critical levels for dinnerware. Nearly everything we have left is chipped. I think it's time to move beyond our post-college ikea set and get a full set of something new. What are the best places to find decent, cheap dinnerware? I tend to like light, natural colored stoneware over porcelain, and a more natural/casual style over modern or traditional. Some design is ok. I'm hoping to find 16-piece sets under about $80, and the cheaper the better. I've checked around in town and found nothing, so I think online is the way to go. Suggestions?

Have you checked overstock.com? They're also on ebates.

World Market. Very sturdy stock white stuff. Far superior to Target in my hands. They also have cool stylish options if you aren't looking for "plain".

Don't think I haven't considered it! I would have no problem with a carefully selected mix and match set if I had decent thrift stores around. Sadly, I don't.

LM, I'm ashamed to admit I've never used eBates before. Signing up now!

I just bought a 16 piece set for the office at Targetfor $25. We have a crate & Barrell outlet near us and the prices are amazing. Plates are about $5.

We're rockin' IKEA but my wedding plates were Fiestaware and we'll go back when the budget allows and when I can decide on colors. Can't beat Made in the USA either!

We live near the Fiestaware factory. The neighbors have a HUGE collection and make routine fieldtrips to the shop. It is awesome stuff.

I was going to suggest Ikea! haha Ours are from Bed Bath and Beyond and we like them a lot. It's one of the only things that I haven't even considered replacing yet!

I just bought dishes (from a hardware store no less) that was service for 12 including a couple of serving dishes for around $50 bucks after sales and rebates. I'm not particularly fond of them, but the price was right as was the number of settings (I need that many for when the entire family gets together). I also have the wedding china which is more formal that I would like as well as a set of cheap plastic dishes from Target that we use every day so the kids don't break the nicer stuff.

I think these are super pretty.

I've had dishes from crate & barrel. They hold up well. We've had them for 12+ years & still look great and are nice and heavy. The only problem is that I've broken a few. Opps! I've also gotten a few from thrift stores. Currently I'm picking up a few pieces of Fiestaware. I too have only heard great things about it. Macys has an online sale of some of it. I just ordered a few cereal bowls that were buy one get one free. Also ordered a few glasses that are currently back ordered.

I really like World Market too. I love our current set (Hudson by Martha Stewart from Macy's), but they are discontinued. (Though dasterdly Martha realized they were popular and released an almost identical set later, but the pattern is different. Damn you, Martha).

Next time around, I'm going with plain white. We break stuff too often here.

We got some super pack from BB&B for like $50. All white, service for twelve, included coffee cups and bowls and whatnot. It's held up to 3 moves and at least 6 years...
