Does anyone here buy food on QVC? Food prices have skyrocketed everywhere; just wondering if food here is worth the extra?

@Webpeggy

Many here do, I personally do not. I do buy from local ranchers/farmers here in Colorado.

I don't buy food from Qvc but I have some friends who do. They live far away from stores that sell the stuff Q sells and it would cost them too much gas and time to make the trips if they could find a store that sells it. They find shopping on the Q for food is worth while simply b/c they don't have access to the that sort of food and the prices are reasonable compared to what they would spend on gas to make the trips to the far away stores.

I rarely buy food from the Q, but what I have found is that while good it's not special.

@Webpeggy The only food I have bought twice is The Perfect Gourmet Shrimp Scampi. Last year in July it was $67.00 and change, this year $69 and change.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I did often buy food from QVC. I liked almost everything - a lot! When I retired last summer and got on social security, I stopped. There's no way I can afford it, especially in these economic times.

@Webpeggy, I have purchased David's cookies, bagels, Faroe Island salmon, KC medallions and tenderloin, chicken fried chicken, Rastelli burgers, and Corky's baby back ribs, and ham. . I would buy these again (depending on the price). I also purchased meatballs, Rastelli round hot dogs but I don't think that I would buy them again. There's only my husband and myself. Now, if I had a larger family living here, don't think that I would buy very much.

I have NEVER or will NEVER buy food from QVC. The price of ALL the food QVC sells is BEYOND OUTRAGEOUS.

I have never nor will I ever buy food from home shopping tv shows. Outrageously overpriced, can get the same offerings locally and don't want my food sitting in the back of a delivery truck for weeks at a time. I am fortunate enough to live in an area where there are five major supermarkets in a three mile radius. I do not have a problem in going to all five if I had to for their sale items and I have.

I can't recall if I've ever bought food from QVC, but I have bought Curtis Stone's pork rib eye steaks. I love them and have bought them twice. However, he now only offers them in a 20pc pack, which is way too much for me. If he ever offers the 10 pc pack again, I'll get on auto delivery.

Thanks, everybody. It helps to know the opinions and experiences of others.

If you ever buy tea from a restaurant or anywhere else, it is outrageously priced. We buy a lot of stuff that is outrageously priced. It depends on what someone wants to spend their money on.

Very few times I have been sucked in to buy stuff---most of it was ok, just ok--- a few I got my money back---I have a grocery store close by that has a wonderful food section with many great all- ready prepared food in sizes that fits my preference. And I get my meat from a local farmer that is amazing!! Don't

have to worry about any shipping either---

Will be eating very well this week. The local Albertsons market has T-Bone steak on sale for 5.97lb. Everyday maybe along with a baked potato or a sweet potato and I like the frozen creamed spinach which is also on sale.
