We are so guilty of not doing this, and in the past, it’s lead to us making purchase decisions that we were not happy with. When shopping for new dinnerware, be sure to set a budget first. We didn’t have to have that overspending guilt, and the subsequent “we deserve it” conversation, to justify our overspending. It’s a much needed upgrade, and it didn’t break our little bank. My wife and I knew we would both really love our new dinnerware set because we agreed on it immediately. It was bright and cheerful exactly what we wanted. The colors are light blue, green and white. The plates, bowls and saucers are lightweight. This was a point that was very important for us. The set is made with Vitrelle, which is a blend of raw materials that make the glass dishes break and chip resistant. The set we chose was the South Beach Corelle Livingware 16-Piece Dinnerware Set. The bonus was that most people who bought the set liked it too it has a ton of reviews with a lot of positive feedback. With our criteria changed, we went back to Amazon and found some sets by Corelle that we both really liked. So instead of being set on just square dinnerware, we expanded our search, and decided that we wanted to have bright fun colors, but we would settle on traditional round dinnerware. We couldn’t find an affordable square dinnerware set that looked good.

We checked out dinnerware sets at target, bed bath and beyond, and online.

We searched store after store, but couldn’t find a set we liked in our price range. They lasted us for years, and we definitely got our money’s worth. The paint was worn away by heavy scrubbing and drying. Our old set of dinnerware were used and abused, etched and scratched and chipped. We wanted, no, we needed durable, so that was still a major factor, but equally we wanted something that looked good, and yes price was an issue too. This next set of plates would be different though, we would decide what we liked. Which means we got them on clearance somewhere strictly to serve a single purpose, and that purpose was not to look good. Until recently, our dish sets have been function over fashion. We were happy to get our new dinnerware set.
