@kaydee50 Me. And I have no regrets and do not feel I need to apologize or explain why, although there are varying factors when I do purchase food online.

YES, EXPENSIVE.  NUTS, REALLY BUT I LIKE THESE PIES.  BOUGHT THEM FOR THANKSGIVING AND WAS VERY DELIGHTED.  BOUGHT THEM TODAY JUST BECAUSE.  I'LL EAT PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICHES FOR A WEEK.  GEE, I HAVEN'T PRICED PEANUT BUTTER RECENTLY.  IT'S PROBABLY A LUXURY ITEM, TOO.

I'm lucky that my local farmer's market has a good variety of pies.  I get them for the holidays but not eating them now.  They are in the $18.00-$25.00 dollar range.. I also have a local Amish market that offers pies weekly.  They are delicious!

I suppose the price is worth it for some people.

 

I am fortunate that making a pie is easy as pie for me.

 

I also have a sour cherry tree in my yard that put out tons of cherries.  My freezer is full.


Making a cherry pie is really inexpensive for me and my  pies are jammed with cherries...much more so than those  canned pie fillings.

 

I make a lot of apple pies too.  Hmmm, I wonder if I can sell my pies and make a fortune.  Most flavors  of pie are cheap to make.

 

Convenience is expensive.

I was also outraged at the price. Very sad that QVC has abandoned the lower middle class consumer.

@Carmie 

 

I'd love to taste your cherry pie!

 

Some of my happiest childhood memories are sneaking a few sour cherries from a tree that hung across our property line.   Canned pie filling cannot compare with fresh fruit.

 

That same neighbor grew red raspberries. Cat Happy

 

Both were heavenly!

@Witchy Woman   Sending a cherry pie your way.  Cherry on the left.  Apple on the right.

If you have a Costco in your area their pies are excellent and they won't cost that much, and are a very nice 12 inch size.....

No one needs to justify or explain what they buy and how they spend their money.  I just don't get it!  Why do they care? 

 

Live and let live.
