As the weather gets colder, many of us retreat to the kitchen to whip up the perfect cosy comfort food.
If you enjoy a wholesome meal fresh from the oven, a good dish is a must-have.
Habitat buy
Arguably one of the best known alternatives to the high-end Le Creuset brand, Habitat is stocked at Sainsbury’s.
Shoppers can pick up a strikingly similar casserol dish at a fraction of the price.
The 3.3 Litre Cast Iron Casserole Dish is currently available from the shop for just £35.
And Sainsbury’s has also stocked a Halloween-themed pumpkin dish for £15.
Lidl buy

A similar pumpkin-style casserole dish is currently available from the Lidl middle aisle.
It closely resembles the a Halloween-inspired buy from Le Creuset, but for £289 less.
While the Silvercrest 3.7L Cast Iron Casserole Dish is listed for just £24.99, the high-end version is a lot pricier.
The best-selling Cast Iron Pumpkin Casserole is availble for £289 from Le Creuset.
M&S buy
Meanwhile, the Cast Iron Floral Casserole Dish from M&S will give you a more timeless look.
This dish features a floral design on the lid and is available in the shade Oxblood.
However, shoppers will need to head in store and this brand new buy is already out of stock online.
With a variety of colours to choose from, it will prove a popular addition to any kitchen this autumn.
And as with all buys, make sure to check prices and deals before you purchase to ensure you get the best value.
How to compare prices to get the best deal
JUST because something is on offer, or is part of a sale, it doesn’t mean it’s always a good deal.
There are plenty of comparison websites out there that’ll check prices for you – so don’t be left paying more than you have to.
Most of them work by comparing the prices across hundreds of retailers.
Here are some that we recommend:
- Google Shopping is a tool that lets users search for and compare prices for products across the web. Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results.
- Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and the supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock.
- Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one.
- CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon. To use it, type in the URL of the product you want to check the price of.
More on dupes
And shoppers can save £100 with another M&S Le Creuset dupe that “works a charm”.
Plus, the high-street store cookware set that gets mistaken for Le Creuset but costs £783 less.
And all the Le Creuset kitchenware available for less than half the price from TKMaxx.
