pies????

I am sorry but it seems nearly $33 dollars for a 10 inch pie is so over priced? Who pays for better yet who can afford that price? The prices of pre made foods just amazes me.

I've paid almost $20 for a pie at a local bakery. Lots of good local bakeries in my mid sized city so I have no need to order desserts from the Q. The cost of ingredients and labor have increased the price of sweets at my local bakeries. I'd still rather support my local bakers.

@bargainsgirl Could you let us know what pie you have in mind? I think the 10 inch pies on QVC are quite a bit more than $33.00

Yes I agree. Most store bought pies are usually $18-20 near me. I would support locals too but I prefer cakes and bake my own!

@bargainsgirl I don't think that's a bad price for two pies including shipping. I agree with @wilma many local bakeries might have good pies in the $20.00 range, I make my own pies, and I would charge $20.00 for one of my pies, because of the pricey ingredients and the electricity and time involved. For those who don't have many available sources for pie, the David's price seems ok to me.

I like to make my own desserts too, but sometimes I buy sweets at a local bakery if I don't have the time or ingredients. There are a few treats that they do very well.

The pies are frozen and shipped in a Styrofoam cooler with dry ice by UPS Next Day or Second Day Air. This alone is very expensive, probably $20+.

Insanity!! Then you have to bake it!!

I'll stick with my 58 ounce pumpkin pie from Costco. Six bucks and absolutely delicious. And it's ready to eat.

folk pay $6 or more for a piece of pie in a restuarant.

folks need to be consistant .....not just when it suits them to bash the q

so dang obvious

I don't worry about what others spend on pies, lipstick, blush, handbags, cars, houses, or anything else. That doesn't have anything to do with me.

I've been poor, and I've had a decent living. Still me, and how I spend my money is I'm sure nuts to someone else whether I'm a cheapskate or a reckless spender.

Lots of people pay that and more for pies. I typically pay $28 for a pie at a local restaurant. Their pies are delicious.

There are several local farms neaby that sell pies around the holidays. They are around $20.00

I used to buy mini pies from Walmart's bakery. They were pretty good, especially the pecan and the pumpkin mini pies. They cost less than $1 ! Their 10-inch pies are less than $8 and as I recall the apple pies were very good, too.

ETA-

Walmart has a bakery inside their store. Products are fresh.

No one is bashing. Once again just stating an OPINION about an ITEM. No drama that I can see.

Pies are unhealthy, so why not just save your money and avoid them altogether? Win - win.

If you want to send a pie to someone, this isn't a bad way to go. If you're looking for dessert, you'd best go to a local bakery or make the pie yourself.

People please.

Not everyone wants to or can bake.

Not everyone has access to Walmart or wants to buy anything there. (The closest one to me is 30 miles away and I have never been there).

Some send food gifts to others living far away.

By all means have your opinion, but some of us (ie me) are tired of the same complaints. The Q wouldn't sell them if they weren't profitable for them.

@Tori3569

I'm not saying that people should buy a pie from Walmart's bakery. It was an option I gave. Walmart delivers pies to your doorstep if you want to order one. No need to drive that far.
