It really bothers me that so many items are sold in sets or 2's or 3's. It has kept me from buying several things such a knife sharpener for example Throws are another example. I have noone to give the other 2 or 3 items to & really don't want to donate so many items. I guess this is done because just selling one item would be cost effective. Anyone else have this problem?

yep
alternate places to buy

The Q does this with many other items too, esprcially this time of year. I think they do it to discourage returns.

@purrmom I think I heard David mention today that he was glad things were sold in sets so he would have gifts for others without having to search for something else. Each to his own I guess

@purrmom Sometimes I like the sets and sometimes I don't want them. When I don't want them, I go to Amazon to see what I can get. I just bought the Pull Chop in a set of 2 because I needed one. I will find someone to give the other one to. Better deal than AmazonI love the Scrub Daddy sets for stocking gifts to my kids at Christmas.

The only thing I buy in sets are Rubbermade food storage containers and I use them all.
I'll buy a top and fitted sheet with pillow cases.

Yes I can't stand that they do this, I do not need three of any ond item, like today for example the Tempatations small bowl with a spreader, I am one person and I wouldn't give those items away as gifts period. Sell me the one that I want and I'll decide whether or not I buy 3.

I think a choice would be nice.

I always thought they did it because most people won't pay $5 for one item with a $3.50 shipping charge.

I don't think I ever wanted an exact duplicate of any item for the kitchen. Can't see that at all.
Although the visual of double handed knive sharpening is interesting.
