You can go *Cheap*, or *Easy*
Or Veg and Toggle (jk!)
Cheap- garage sales in older neighbourhoods, church rummage sales in wealthier areas, or wealthier congregations--like some Episcopalian (sometimes the sterotypes are true,) some Roman Catholic, and I found my most recent Candlewick at my churh's rummage sale (United Church of Christ)--two juice glasses, which I got for all of 5$-both!
Easy-- Replacements! They have lots of pretty Candlewick, at not so pretty prices. Linkie added.

hahaha..Maytag..you devil...yeah believe me I throughly check the yard sales and rummage sales...I have used Replacements for silver..they really have a nice inventory but you are right the prices are really high. I am really looking to complete a small set that I have and want to have place setting for 12 (Dinner plate, salad plate, water goblet, wine goblet)...
Interesting and timely, this thread and mention of Replacments.com. I ordered several pieces from there this afternoon for my mother. Several months ago she picked up a set name of Crown Bavaria Fantasy from her deceased aunt's belongings.

Hey Dad..they were very nice to deal with. A very nice lady called me with all of the details after I had ordered and the pieces arrived packed very well ( a rare thing with purchases I have made from sellers on Ebay).

I too have ordred replacement pieces for my Stetson dinnerware that I broke, "UGH", while rinsing, before putting in the dishwasher. The pieces that I received were also very well packed, and their site is easy to use as well. But, I too find some of their prices a bit on the high side. I'm cheap, what can I say.

The owners of Replacements have endured much from the "better Christians" in the town. Some have driven over there early in the morning to block the driveway so that staff could not get to work. The Replacements guys have contributed a lot of money LGBT concerns. Their business treats all customers with old time courtesy while having one of the most efficient computerized inventory systems. Can you imagine having to set that up? It must have taken a whole team of OCD individuals on caffiene and diet pills to get all of those measurements just so and then list them properly.
Well that makes me even more pleased to have ordered from them!

"Stetson dinnerware that I broke, "UGH", while rinsing, before putting in the dishwasher."
Another reason for not pre-rinsing before putting in dishwasher. I've gotten really irritated with myself in the past when I would be rinsing an item and accidentally bang it against the faucet or the sink, even when I was trying to be careful.

Replacements- I kid,
but I love them. Bob Page, the owner/founder is gay, and he often advertises in the "better" gay press.
My sister has Franciscan "Desert Rose," which she inherited from our maternal grandmother. The good, American made "Desert Rose," not the coarsend, dismal British made stuff. My brother-in-law broke the gravy boat, and she looked all over suburban Minneapolis for another. I just picked up my card and the phone, and specified "USA backstamp." Less than a week later....If my dear brother-in-law (who really isn't an ox, just momentarily distracted) breaks this one, my sister knows where to call.
When I still read The Advocate, there was usually a Replacements ad.
The thought of what sort of computer hardware and software they must need boggles my poor mind.
Oh, and I hate pre-rinsing, too. Just scrape off the olive pits and the turkey carcasses, and let the machine and the hot water and detergent deal with the rest.
