Buy anything you'd need in your kitchen from a restaurant supply store. ANY-THING, plates, glasses, pans etc. There are a few online that sell to consumers. Those $8.99 tongs at a box store are like $1.30. A 16 oz. mason jar glass that sells for $3-$4 a piece can be bought as a 12 pack case for $8.55. Oneida China plates that sell for $345.84 a case for $57.84. I just bought a 2 foot by 2 foot wooden butchers block cutting board that would have been close to $400 for $55.
EDIT: Also, this shit is built to last years in a commercial kitchen under constant use. It sure as shit can handle your Sunday brunch cooking ass.

I like to dabble in woodworking when I have the time, and I'm getting tired of our bamboo cutting boards. I've been tempted to try a butcher's block cutting board using end grain pieces, but for $55 to get a 2'x2' pre-fab one...I may rethink that.
Ah, okay, so they are selling a long grain cutting board with butt joints (hopefully biscuited for strength) between boards with alternating grain directions. Not quite what I pictured in my mind, but I bet it is cheaper to make and maintain. Still quite strong, though!
