I go to a place that charges $20 per session. Can you find a place and try them out? I personally think it's a glorious way to spend $20 every now and then but with space constraints I am not sure I would want to store my own compression equipment.

Or can you spend it on services like a massage package?

I use Lodge cast iron skillets and have a le Creuset Dutch oven and braiser... I based my decision to get Le Creuset for the enameled pieces based on seeing how my mother in law's looked after 30 years of hard cooking. The inside of hers is discolored but has no cracking, chipping or anything else. I am surprised people are saying Staub is less expensive because they're comparable prices where I was shopping. Staub looked really nice too but the le creuset pans I was looking at were actually slightly less expensive (like $20) and I liked the colors better. If you're talking buy it for life, I think the colors matters because you're going to be looking at it a long time so it makes sense to spend on something you absolutely love.

I've had a few crack on me. The key is to not fill above the shoulder of the jar and leave the lid off until it's frozen, then cover it. And stick to the 16 Oz or smaller. The 32 Oz have a much higher failure rate. In terms of bang for the buck, nothing beats the canning jars for food storage.
