Oneida.
I love Oneida. Pretty inexpensive but good quality.

Gorham has some inexpensive ones too.

Re: Flatware....

What's 'cheaper' to you? My formal flatware is actually cheaper than my everyday believe it or not.

FORMAL
Lenox Swedish Lodge - $29.99

CASUAL
Crate & Barrel Gormet - $34.95

There are sets out there that are 45-pc setting for $50-$100 too ... go to a Macy's and look around at the options.

Re: Flatware....

$50-100 would be awesome...we are only getting 8 settings o like under $25- a setting is 'cheaper' to me. I've been on Macys for an hour now, nothing in that range??

Re: Flatware....

Go into the store and they have the sets in packages.

45-pc set which is 8 settings. And they can range in price, you'll have better luck than the websites.

I like Mikasa's stuff. Here's mine, $29.99 at Macys or $24.99 from Mikasa or Amazon:
