The stainless steel frying pan I use was purchased about 30 years ago as part of a set that included a couple saucepans and lids. I paid less than $50 for it new. That was a lot when I was a student, but not an out of reach luxury. If it helped me avoid eating 20 meals out it easily paid for itself.
