Hit the local garage sales and estate sales. Find your independent thrift stores, Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. I've gotten my best non-inherited pieces from these sources, at very reasonable prices. - WanderlostNomad IIHit the local garage sales and estate sales.

TSC and Rural King carry Lodge cast iron. For used items try the flea markets in the Columbus. I know there used to be one on west Broad in Columbus. The Wooster area has a large Amish population and you may find them there. I have seen them at the flea market at Indian Lake, Traders World (Monroe), and Caesars Creek. - agteacherExplorerTSC and Rural King carry Lodge cast iron.

- Opie431ExplorerI bought a cast iron frying pan for 29 cents and got several more from my grandmother and great grandmother. Now I have too many but cannot get rid
of them.
I cannot remember why the frying pan was such an odd amount. - DeanRIowaExplorerMaybe not highest quality and smoothest finish but Walmart has some reasonably priced cast iron(Ozark Trails).
I just picked up a 5 quart dutch oven for $17.82 plus tax. Note: Make sure the lid fits well.
Dean - 3boxerssExplorerI live in NW Ohio and found best place is Rural King to buy new. I got a 5 piece set of Lodge at the Marion store 2 years ago for $69. They have alot of different Lodge cast iron..
- wbwoodExplorerYeah not sure of where you are coming up with $100 on. You can get a 12" Lodge deep dutch oven for $60. Skillets much cheaper. What did you see for $100?
- ppineExplorer IIIAvoid Chinese made cast iron. The pot lids tend to fit poorly and changes in temperature can cause them to split open.
I got my first DO from my great uncle who was a cook in the Army. The 10 in oven is from around 1934. I have taken it on too many trips to count. It was in my friend's canoe when he sunk it on the John Day River in OR. I threw him a line and the Dutch Oven and the lid were drug across the bottom of the river. It is one of my favorite possessions.
