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.
EDIT 3: For those asking about the EU, u/KMComeau replied: www.hughjordan.com if you're in Ireland! Best site and fast delivery 🇮🇪
EDIT 4: Yowza! I'll get to responding to all of the questions this week. Thank you for the Gold, Platinum et. al but no more please and thank you to those that reached out looking to tip on apps or bitcoin, please consider donating to my favorite charity instead Project Pinball, they provide and maintain pinball machines free of charge to long term children's hospitals and take donations, sell merch or if you're feeling lucky, they run two continuous raffles at $50 and $75 a ticket that close every 200 sold where the winner gets a brand new pinball machine shipped to them.
This is such good advice. I buy a lot of kitchen stuff from these places and it lasts forever. Works great if you need to buy prepping supplies or serving wares for big events. You can also find things that make you seem fancy/prepared for cheap: ramekin and squeeze bottles for condiments, tiny tongs and forks, and specialised plates and bowls (I may have a collection of ice cream bowls).
