Wheelin' and Dealin'

So...I am in "want" of an oval blue Le Creuset dutch oven.

It is $248 at Williams Sonoma (after you calculate in the 8.25% tax).

Right now, at BHV during sales, it is 97 euro. That's about $135. That's nearly 50% off US prices.

So do I get it?

Do I?

Points of interest:
1) I already have a Le Creuset. It is larger and perfect.
2) I have in my mind to use this smaller one for shepard's pie during the week. My friend Laura does it in hers and it's so cute and perfect for a small weeknight meal. Maybe even a chicken. Or a small roast.
3) I realize I already have one and my consumerism is not good.

But it's a good deal. I know TJ Maxx Home Goods Store has them...but I don't live anywhere near one and I've never seen it. So I am content to buy mine in France. Where they are made.

So would you buy it?
