Burgers overpriced

12 burgers for $65 ? I can purchase a pound of ground beef for $5 a pound and make 12 generous sized burgers for $30. People need to wake up to the economic situation we are dealing with and a potential second wave in the Fall, Please shop smart everyone.

@Reever People should buy what they want and not worry about what others buy. Everyone's situation is different.

And besides, it's about the cost per patty of a fast food burger. And anyway, why do you care what others buy?

Another day, another complaint about QVC, the value of a dollar, and advising others how to spend (or not) their money.

Carry on.

You cannot look it as if you are buying the meat and making the burger. Are you buying the same grade of meat? Are you using the same ingredients? You have to compare this burger with one you might eat in a good restaurant.

Ive bought USDA ground chuck for the last 50 years. Supermarket or Walmart beef is just as good as what you find on TV or the restaurants

I can get chuck patties at the meat market for $5.99 lb.

If people want to pay that guess that's their business.

I can buy almost everything or something similar that the Q sells cheaper at my local stores. You are paying for the convience. There are people who like things delivered to their door and are willing to pay for it.

I did purchase the Homeworx candles last Christmas and have been very happy with them.

We all have things we won't pay for and it's different for everyone. Smart shopping for one is a great buy for many others!! I know I cannot get the same quality beef anywhere locally - then having to spend the time making the burgers which I find messy only to get a so so burger. Why do some insist on dictating what others do with thbeir money!!!??

I just placed probably my 5th order for these Rastelli's burgers. At 5.3oz apiece, they are large and flavorful. When they arrive, in the deep freeze they go!

Sorry, I'm not setting foot in WM at this time. Haven't been in a grocery since early April.

Reever, from your posts, you seem to think everything is alike: all candles the same, all USDA beef the same. There are differences in quality. Sorry you haven't had the opportunity to experience this.

Buying ready made beef patties, hamburgers, you need to add in labor costs. Life is not so black & white.

Basically same price as Curtis Stone's special Grass Fed Beef burgers over on HSN. Too pricey for me, but I would buy the St. Clair Holiday Sides at that astronomical price if the Broccoli & Rice dish was something else just becasue it saves me so much time and headache at Thanksgiving. To each his own.

Don't some ever get weary of droning on about the same thing?

Reminds me of the Rogers & Hart song from Babes in Arms titled Johnny One Note. "Johnny could only sing one note..."

@davisesq212 I was just saying what QVC is good for. Since I didn't buy the burgers I posted what I did buy. Now I see what some other posters are complaining about on the threads today.

Chef Curtis Stone offered Australian grass fed "pub" style burgers a year or so ago which I purchased and they were fantastic! I haven't seen them offered recently but I check often hoping they will be back so I can get more. They spoiled me for grocery store beef and I rarely eat burgers anymore.

I understand, "to each his own." I also understand, "live within your means."

Geez just stating my opinion I thought that was the point of online forums so we can communicate. I was simply warning price conscious consumers about the value of making your own burgers.

What makes you think they need to be "warned"? If you can find your way to the internet, you can certainly evaluate and compare prices for yourself, without the constant drumbeat of "overpriced!! overpriced!!". Buy what suits you and let others do the same.

@Reever Don't you think any of us are smart enough to understand what we are buying and what it costs? It's about price and value to each of us which is wildly different.

I wish people could stop thinking that others don't know how to manage their lives. It is insulting to all who post here.
