Goodie2shoes — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 00:01:17 GMT

I bought Egg Harbor 10 6oz Faroe Island Salmon twice and I really like it. Item # M52643, used a $20 coupon for my last order. I have also bought M99922 5lb Patagonian Pink Shrimp, very good and I bought the Egg Harbor tail off Jumbo Peeled and deveined shrimp item # M93280 which I also really like. A few years ago I used to buy Ms Prindables Candy apples YUM !! can't eat those anymore, gotta keep my diabetes under control but yum were they good ! So what foods have you bought from the Q and have you bought or will you buy them again ? Favorites ?

I tried ordering fresh fruit a couple times a few years ago and that didn't work out well. I haven't got any frozen products just because of that.

BUT

I LOVE ENSTROMS TOFFEE and Beatrice Bakery Fruitcake.

I'm trying some Squirrel brand nuts this year so fingers crossed.

NONE! I feel like I am being way overcharged for food sold on TV. I realize it is convenient but seriouly??? I cook alot so I choose to spend my $$ on fresh food.

ZERO. ALL of the food QVC sells is RIDICULOUSLY overpriced and can be found elsewhere for LESS. MOST of the food is HIGH in calories, fat, sodium, and sugar.

Love Enstrom! We are in Colorado where it is made and it's definitely a favorite here.

We bought squirrel brand gold & silver toffee chocolate almonds last year so good. Friends went wild and we love them at home.

Grandma's Coffee Cakes. They were tasty, but we don't eat traditional baked good anymore

Mrs. Prindable Apples - ordered a large set for gifting and found out they were brown inside. Talk about embarrassing. I'll never buy them again.

Faroe Island Salmon - very good

Rastelli Steakburgers - excellent

@Goodie2shoes I too have had great luck with the food. Not sure why posters feel it necessary to respond when they didn't buy because of ....... You asked what we've bought not why we don't. I think that would fall in another type of thread. My most recent purchases:

1) Landies Pretzels: Love but the stuffed ones' are much better

2) Lindor Candy: what's not to love

3) Tater Crusted Chicken: So far our favorite chicken (often requested by family)

4) Rastelli's Wagyu Burgers: Very tasty and easy to have on hand

5) Egg Harbor Faroe Salmon: Perfect, Tasty, Easy, Love

6) Cape Hake Filets: Okay, good for fish tacos

7) Jimmy the Baker Crumbcakes: OMG, our TOP favorite, big family request

8) Coconut Batter Mahi Mahi: okay, not great

9) Cheryl's Cookies: Many orders, great for co-workers, always fresh

10) Mrs. Prindables Apples: Loved them years ago, we aren't as crazy about the kinds offered recently, we like more nuts and dark chocolate. We never had a bad batch, no brown centers, all in one piece, and lasted a couple weeks in fridge.

11) Rastelli's Chicken Bites: Good for salads

I'm sure there's more but that's what comes to mind at the moment.

Wow ! that's terrible ! all the apples I used to buy were fine, no issues thank goodness or they would have gone back to the Q !

Zip, zero, nada. I'd rather get my meats and other stuff at Costco for a lot less money.

Re: What Food items have you bought from QVC ?

beach-mom — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 02:55:07 GMT

We like a few:

Rastelli's Wagyu burgers

Egg Harbor salmon

Just Bagels

Perfect Gourmet potstickers (I call them Gyoza)

Graham & Rollins crab cakes (OK - I'm a crab cake snob. I grew up eating them after my dad, and sometimes the rest of us, caught them). I prefer to make my own or order them at our favorite seafood restaurant near the ocean. But these are pretty good if I'm in a hurry.)

Roar organic drink - we can get them around here, but in only one flavor. We like a choice.

@cjm61 - I agree about why people feel the need to post why they don't buy food from QVC, when that was not the question. Trying to influence others to follow their example?

@Goodie2shoes - I have Just Bagels on auto-delivery. They usually do one TSV a year for around $34.98 and that's a fair price to me. I've ordered some flavors that were one-offs that I wasn't so keen on, but my regular A/D orders are flavors I like.

I've ordered Enstrom's toffee in the past and really liked it, but like others we're trying to cut down on too many candies.

I ordered the My Grandma's pineapple/coconut coffee cake and it was delicious. Unfortunately, I had a friend visiting the week it came in, so it didn't last long! I can get other flavors of My Grandma's locally for a lot less, so I only order the unusual ones from QVC.

I've ordered Jimmy the Baker's cinnamon rolls (have some in the freezer right now.

I have the Squirrel Brand toffee almonds on advance order, as well as a Delizioso limoncello cake on waitlist.

I had an order of the Germack Summer Mix and I ate both jars before you could blink! They were just too moreish.

At the moment, that's all I can think of, but I've ordered many things in the past.

My money and I'll spend it how I like!

(Oh and I've ordered the Mrs. Prindable's apples in the past. Had some myself and took some to work. Everyone loved them.)

@Venezia @Goodie2shoes Oh ya, I did order the bagels and the Squirrel Brand nuts too. I forgot about those. The bagels were really good, our favorite were the hash brown ones. I only ordered when the kids came from out of town and we would eat them. Too many for just my husband and I.

The Squirrel Brand were prizes for Christmas so not sure how good they were but they were one of the items that were chosen first as the prizes.

I bought the salmon and it was good BUT some pieces in the bag lost its vacuum seal and I am concerned if it is safe to eat. Can someone tell me if they had the same experience.

rastelli daddy always talks about the vac.seal and how they vac seal tight to keep bacteria out. So what's the deal.

Last year for Christmas I bought Landies stuffed bark. The first two orders arrived smashed....just thrown in a box to roll around. All the caramel oozing out.

I called and QVC replaced it. I gave some away as small gifts, but it wasn't well received. No one liked it. I still have some. I should probably just throw it out. I won't buy more.

Years ago, I bought Maryland crab cakes. They were good.

I tried the pot stickers...they were good.

Juniors cheesecake....good.

During the COVID pandemic, I ordered Cheryl's cookies for a friend who is in a senior care home. I wasn't allowed to visit and take her anything from home.

I don't plan on buying more food. I thankfully know how to cook and bake and can make my own. Though it is convenient, it is expensive and is processed food.

A lot of what they sell is available locally. I even found NY strip steaks and Rib eyes from Rastelli's in my local Giant grocery store.10 oz. wrapped individually for $6.99 each. I bought five of each and paid $70 for all.

My local Giant also sells the pretzel co. soft pretzels for $1.50 each. I do made homemade soft pretzels several times a month, but occasionally I will buy my husband a few when I am grocery shopping.

He says they're excellent.

I have purchased a lot of items but not so much any more. Did more of that during pandemic. My husband also has passed this year and just don't need all that food. He was the cook and enjoyed so many of the items.

That being said my most recent purchases have been salmon and love the salmon. Nicely packaged and flavor is so much better than what I can get at the store. Bagels and share those with my daughter. I love the everything bagel. I got the smaller ones not long ago but still plenty big. Pot stickers is another item I enjoy. Easy to prepare and can just take a few out at a time.

Prices have gone up so I watch for a TSV or a one time only. I do not do auto delivery any more either. End up with too much. I know you can skip or cancel but easier if I just order one and done.

I do have apples coming in December and my grandkids treat. They love them. I do too.

I have gotten the steak burgers in past and enjoyed those. Chicken patty's with white gravy packages. My favorite but ran out and wait for a new special. Easy to prepare and use air fryer.

I have purchased a lot more over the years but my list would be long.

I've purchased a fair amount of food mainly because of the convenience.

I used to keep the original Maryland crab cakes in the freezer until they let us know they weren't Maryland crab, only Maryland style, using trash crabs. I keep Rastelli's Wagyu style burgers in the freezer. I've gotten many boxes of Cheryl's cookies before they started making them so small; got some Junior's cheesecakes but now I usually buy from their (Junior's) website. The kiffle pastries were wonderful and I'll be ordering more for the holidays. I get the Lindt truffles when they're offered as a TSV and have a delivery coming to me in December along with Silvestri Sweets caramels.

I've never been disappointed in any food purchases, they always have come well packaged.

lynnie61 — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 11:34:33 GMT

Several items. 90% very happy with.

Lindt and Enstrom toffee. Every year for the holidays. Best pricing I've seen at CIJ pricing. Better than Amazon or website pricing.

Rastelli prime rib. Very good. Only for the holidays.

Family farms chicken breasts. LOVE these. I know it's expensive, but taste and convenience win on this one for me. I have on AD. One order arrived at room temp, CS replaced immediately. Great customer service. Had new order in 3 days. I chose another order vs a refund.

Anderson tempura shrimp. We enjoy this.

Squirrel brand almonds gold/silver - for gifting. Well received gifts.

Limoncello cake on waitlist. My first order of this. Used a coupon. Will be for a holiday dessert.

KC steak tips. Just fair. To me not tender enough.

I've had Prindables apples. Just tried once. I liked more when they had nut choices. No longer purchase. But the ones I received were good.

Everyone raves about the faroe Island Salmon. I need to try it.
Thanks for those that did purchase and reviewed. I cook, but some of those are treats for us.

I am on my 2nd auto delivery for the 6 oz salmon too. All have been exceptionally delicious!! Am trying the plain chicken breasts now and really like them. All the above are within my budget and comparable to what prices are in my area and are ready to use, so no trimming off extra fat and gross stuff which you pay for and then throw away. Have tried a few other things---most were pretty awful and got my $$ back. Not into sweets, or other seafood--which Ican get much less around here--I am near Seattle and can get seafood year round. Salmon is the exception--while very good, it tends to be cut so thin that it's not worth the price. talkng about maybe 3/8 of an inch thick as opposed to at least 1 inch for the ones from the Q.

okaywitheasypay — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 15:16:18 GMT

The only food item I have purchased is the Lono Life broth.It is cheaper on the Q and generally is free shipping, than at the grocery stores. I really like it . When I heard them saying that it is cooked for 30+ hours they won me over. I really like the taste and use it in some recipes also. I did not care for the thai & would not want to try ham. I do love the others .Since I only drink about a cup, the sodium is not bad included in my daily content.

If I win the lottery I would be tempted to try the Limoncello(sp?) cake.
