Question: Have You Ever Purchased A Lunchtime Special?

With most of the picks being 3 stars or less, I've never been tempted. QVC should call it, "Trying Desperately To Unload Our Duds Cheap Special!".

I got a scarf once - it was pretty and a good buy. I've worn it several times

I bought something a while ago, can't remember what it was. It was a good buy though - that much I remember. It may have been an SG top.

I have. Every once in a while, they have a REALLY great, popular item with rave reviews. I think you have to be watching at the beginning of the LTS to get those.

{#emotions_dlg.lol} I glanced a few times but they never have beauty stuff and that is all I am really interested in. I have seen a few "interesting" items in there before, and not "interesting" in a good way. {#emotions_dlg.blink}

A couple of times a year, maybe even three or four. The half-decent stuff does go fast, so if you're not there when they first go up, you won't see them.

Most of the time, they're items that have been "invisible" for a while, on Limited Quantity pricing. If I really wanted them, they'd already be on my wishlist and I'd get them at LQ price before they go to LTS.

On the whole, I prefer "as is" for bargains.

I've purchased a few. I bought a bird-themed lamp a few months ago and saved about $20. I love it.

I did for the first time last week. It was a Liz Claiborne t-shirt with a crochet V-neck for around $19 which included s/h. It's very pretty and a nice quality fabric. I wish I had bought another one in the purple, I got the yellow.

Re: Question: Have You Ever Purchased A Lunchtime Special?

I bought quite a few last year & a few the year before. Mostly tops, but a nice IM blazer & a handful of other things.

The total cost really makes most of them not a really good deal. I'm starting to wonder if I'll buy anything at all from The Q this year.

Re: Question: Have You Ever Purchased A Lunchtime Special?

I have a few times. Mostly clothing items, if I remember. I think one was a Linea dress that I love and wear regularly. It's really luck of the draw, most times an item is not available in my size or the reviews are "iffy", so I don't bother. Sometimes when looking at the item description, other clearance-priced related items pop up in the right hand margin, and I find some good stuff there. I wish they would offer reduced s/h with the reduced item price, that would help - a little.
