$25 for POPCORN????

Seriously QVC, you need to get hold of your prices! What you charge for food products is obscene.

@Gandolph, what they charge for this popcorn is cheaper than what the company sells it for.

And everything I've had from this company has been excellent. If I wanted to send a gift to someone I'd have confidence in their quality.

Some of us enjoy sending things to a loved one, just to let them know you're thinking of them. This is a nice price point for something like that.

It would help, if posters added an item number so others would know what they're talking about.

I agree with you 100% That is why I NEVER buy food items on Q or any other show.

well it may not be what you might pay for a bag of popcorn at Costco, but it's norm. Premade food cost more than if we made it, or went to grocery store. It is a convenience, a treat. What would they sell this popcorn for, and see that both companies made their profit. It is what the comlany sells it for. Just like those Kringle. You can buy at traders for 10. But go online to ,anufacturer. They are 24.99@ plus 9.9. Ship EACH. . QVC gives free ship, but you have to get two, that's why it is higher. You either buy it or not. Oh so many do. I don't buy these items, but I buy lots of food items, ice cream, fish, mustard and pretzels even online.

My popcorn is organic and delicious. Buy it from our farmers market.

@Gandolph. If you feel QVC food is not in your budget, why do you watch the programs then criticize QVC for selling it? Food is very popular, often bought for special occasions and for gifts. They feature some great products but people are willing to pay for the convenience, which of course includes shipping.

If you join Movie Tavern and go to the Tuesday night special movies, you get a free bag of popcorn!

Ranting about pricies is just silly.

If you cannot afford it, or do not want to spend the money, just pass on by.

BTW, I have ordered QVC popcorn for family members.

I, personally, do not eat popcorn.

However, I love Godiva chocolate, and I will always pay the price!

Whenever there are comical rants about food prices here, I think it's important to recognize that many of the brands, particularly sweets and confections, are small batch self owned businesses. That's why amounts available for sale are limited. These small businesses owners are doing the best they can to deliver a quality product. They aren't huge international food conglomerates with large factories.

Why the upset and outrage if you're not going to purchase it.

Many haven't yet ramped up volume which could bring costs down. QVC exposure could help with that.

And the OP wants to think that this is just grocery store "popcorn", manufactured in a huge corporate facility, which it clearly isn't.

@: Once read an interesting article in Consumers (I think) about farmers markets. Anyway the article said they buy their products from other vendors and they are not necessarily organic,etc. Next time you are at a FM asked one of the sellers where their products come from.

Yes, because you know how and where to get everything they show cheaper, right? You must also get around very easily and have no problem shopping and cooking for yourselves. You're blessed while others might not be.

IMHO, everyone has a right to voice their opinions. It may not necessarily be your view of a product but they have found this item overpriced. For some people it is and other people it isn't.

Small businesses don't have much profit built into their items and therefore, they are fighting to survive. So, the prices are probably higher than larger companies. I think kindness should prevail when we have a difference of opinions. It just goes a long way.

Just a thought.

3 out of 7 reviewed and found it good. It is Pecan Caramel popcorn from.Savannah Candy Kitchen.
