Nobody ever buys any QVC food. Isn't that why they have so many food shows?

I have in the past. I no longer do. I had bought Corky's ribs years ago, but after getting two shipments that were just awful, I canceled that. Same thing for Kansas City Steaks, got some really nasty steaks after the first few shipments. The quality went downhill fast on that. Anything else offered, I can either make myself or find better deals elsewhere.

The prices far outweigh the convenience factor for me now, so I am no longer interested.

And as far as snarky comments stating you aren't forced to buy. That is silly, ALL of us are quite aware we DO NOT HAVE TO BUY. It is simply someone else's opinion and their right to post it.

I buy a very selected few frozen items.

My favorites are:

Kansas City Prime Rib. I have ordered these for years for holidays and the price and quality can not be beat! Seasoned, aged, and ready to roast.

Also, years ago KC offered beef wellington that were expensive, but amazing and fool proof.

KC used to also offer fillet steaks that were certified by the American Heart Association. 130 calories and very low fat. I had these on AD until they cut me off because the price was too low! I miss these steaks!

Pot stickers.....these really are so much better that the ones I have purchased locally (TJ's or Costco). There is an abundance of filling and less starch. They run these a lot as ODO's and that's when I buy them.

Items like croissants, cheesecakes, cookies, muffins, popcorn, I either make or buy locally.

My guess is that the OP is new to the boards and did not notice her post was listed in a specific category.

I buy the potstickers (combo...pork for me, veggie for son). IMO, they're much better tasting than the variety offered in supermarkets, Costco, etc. I (try) and wait for ODO offers, but the price of $54.00 including s/h isn't too bad. I also recommend My Grandma's cinnamon walnut coffee cake (3 lb size). It's very moist and buttery tasting with just the right amount of cinnamon, they should add a bit more of the walnut pieces😉 It's been out of stock for over a month (or more)😕

SO SORRY NEW TO THE BOARD

I buy a LOT of food. Prices are comparable to any other Food Home Delivery service I have priced.

They are convenience foods for quick meals. When I was cooking for an ill parent, I desperately needed the convenience. Now I stay on auto delivery for those items I really love.

I find the quality far superior to frozen bags I have purchased at Sam's Club.

I would say about 80% of what I have ordered, I have been VERY pleased with. If not, I get a credit.

The Heartland Buttermilk Chicken is fantastic!

I LOVE the Bobby Chez crabcakes but Q doesn't offer his food anymore. I buy directly from Bobby's site. Q had better prices.

The only thing I haven't purchased is the Junior's Cheesecakes. If you price cheesecakes at a bakery, the prices are not that far out of line.

I just don't because I make a MEAN cheesecake myself! LOL But it costs me a good penny!

I've purchased food over the years. I can't think of anything that was bad.

Over the years I have ordered several items, but only when free shipping is available. I order Mrs Prindables apples, Kind bars, and Germack nuts at Christmas, to give as gifts. My family enjoys chicken potstickers, and Rastelli burgers. I occasionally order Juniors mini cheesecakes at Christmas, as a special treat for my family.

The prices are NUTS! You can get all the same stuff just shopping at the Supermarket.

About 15 years ago, I used to buy the Kansas City steak burgers, Corky's ribs and I tried Juniors carrot cheese cake once.

I got tired of the ribs and the burgers have become so expensive that I buy from my local grocer.

Everyone has a choice. If a food on QVC doesn't appeal to you, just pass on it.

Some prefer convenience over product, ie, home delivery for people don't own a car, disabled, or agoraphobic.

If saving money is important to you, or adverse to consuming processed food, then buy your food in bulk at Costco, Food for, Less, Food Mart, etc.

Avoid dying of heart attack, stoke, or cancer. Avoid processed foods sold on QVC.

Tried Corky's, got a refund. The side dishes, cookies, apples etc are way too expensive for my taste. Especially when they take 10 days to receive. Way better close to home.

Don't bother sharke. We tried them last year. They are nothing special. You can get just as good or better at BJ's wholesale club for a lot less money. They don't keep the airyiness once you pull them out of the oven. They deflate. If you leave them in the oven longer they burn on the bottom. The only item we purchase every year is Mrs. Prindables apples when they are on special. Now those are good quality, taste great and on sale. The majority of qvc food items are rediculosly priced. So high priced you think qvc is just doing it on purpose to see if people will foolishly pay the exorbitant price.

@SharkE I have been buying the croissants for a few years now. So far, they have always baked up perfectly - golden brown and airy. I only eat one every Sunday for breakfast and they smell wonderful while baking and the coffee is brewing.

I have never had one that deflated or was bad otherwise.

P.S.: I don't think they are expensive at all. Last time I ordered 50 (split with my neighbor) for $64.00.
