Macys has sales frequently. Set currently available at Costco. Good deals can be had through the all-clad factory direct second sales that happen a several times a year (https://homeandcooksales.com). You can buy a set if you want to treat yourself. Otherwise, a sauce pan (or two), sauté pan, and maybe a steamer/double boiler in your fancy stuff and a good ceramic coated cast iron fry pan and Dutch oven (staub or le creuset). Silly to spend good money on non stick pans and stock pots unless you are after the looks (nothing wrong with that). Lines are classic/D3, D5, and copper. Exposed copper band will discolor and need maintenance. Sur la table, Williams Sonoma, crate and barrel, and other high end retailers will sometimes have special sets or variants not available elsewhere (usual patterns in brushed or polished not available elsewhere, depending on the fad at the moment). Mauviel is also a great pan that is on the same level as all clad and is a subtle flex for kitchen people in the know.
