$38.00 waffles

Gabidog — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 10:58:11 GMT

Last night I laughed out loud when eight small waffles were presented for $36 and change. Today they are $38 and change. Are the buyers in la la land? The food pricing is out of reach on most items.

There is a lot money lost on selling food items. The buyer is paying for everyone's return/refund (since they don't take it back) in addition to the inflated price of the food items.

Apparently many folks don't mind paying those prices. Seems that QVC is presenting more and more food shows

If the price doesn't scare you away from this item, its name ought to: Le Waf.

Wow, that's unbelievable. I thought the almost $100 turkey roasts were a bit much. I checked the internet for others selling them and saw Rastelli's, on another site, was selling for approx $79, shipping free.

That one really surprised me, as well.

I'm sure they're yummy waffles, but I think your priorities might need adjusting if you have to buy your breakfast on Easy Pay.

Supermarket brand waffles 58⍧ each.

QVC waffles $4.75 each.

Can they be that much better?

I think food on easy pay is weird. You eat it, it’s gone forever, yet you’re still paying for it. It’s not like a handbag or a shoe or some sheets you’ll pay off and then still have it for a long time.

For that price, I'd rather buy a waffle maker.

I saw that too and thought the same thing. And I thought Eggo prices went up too much from $1.79 to $2.59.

@Gabidog No more than people who spend $250 on a handbag they could buy for $11 at WalMart; for get for $1 at Good Will. Or those who spend $45,000 on a car they could buy used for $2,000.

It's a matter of income and choice. What's weird about that? Do all of us only buy what makes sense ecomonically? I think about everything we buy could be gotten cheaper from a can of peas to a car. So what? We decide price and value for everything we shell out a nickle for. Why anyone would spend a nickle for an RV is beyond me, but that's just me. . .

I have to believe there are more potential customers for a $250 handbag than customers of eight small waffles for $38. QVC buyers should offer products that appeal to the most possible people. How much money did QVC make on the five minute presentation of those waffles? It was a waste of on air time.

the only thing i bought and truly enjoyed was the caramel popcorn from Farmer Johns. my husband like it to but we got tired of it so i cancelled AD. I learned my lesson for JIMMY THE BAKER about expensive overpriced CRAPPY food... I found a recipe that is waaaay BETTER than his crumbcakes. good ol martha stewart recipe...

Yes, the food on the Q is pricey. Am still feeling guilty for spending $60 for those little Mamie's pies.

I liked JB crumbcake (blueberry) but was NOT impressed with his sweet rolls.
