It seems a shame to throw them out. You could give it to a neighbor or friend, maybe donate it to a food pantry. Surely someone would appreciate them.

@Smidget Your ugly attitude makes me SO glad I don't know you in real life. Lots of anger you should deal with. Bet a dollar you wouldn't donate these or give them away. Trashing them would make you happy. Pitiful.


@Love my grandkids    You can't be serious.  The OP didn't ask that these cookies be sent to her!   I frequently receive free gifts in the mail that I didn't request.  Some of these items are address labels, note pads, greeting cards, and more.  

I throw most of these things away, without over analyzing it!

@september I agree. Pretty harsh response from someone who doesn't know her. She could be in ill health and a shut-in for all we know. No need for some to be mean.

You are right.  There are better choices.  I'd pass on the cookies, too.  I'd prefer they send me a gift card or a discount code.

Donate them with other items you may not need anymore.   They will be appreciated by someone for sure. Maybe a neighbor as well?

We take extra food left after our church youth group meetings to the Fire Station not far from church; they come running out to the car to see what we have bought them. i know they would love the cookies! I would suggest taking to a nursing home but the residents would not get them. Since Covid, few places will take food gifts.

FYI

   For those who are diabetic, allergic to "refined sugar," or just prefer not to eat refined, white sugar,      Cheryl's Sugar-Free Brownies, offered at QVC, are *incredibly delicious," (IMHO) esp if fresh! 

     I'd love it if she offered just these "Sugar Free Brownies," alone in  pack.

.

Didn't QVC use to offer a Christmas Card with some purchasing deal?  (ex  % off, or x Easy Pays?  or Free S&H?)  The card was signed by all the Q Hosts?

You can't give them to someone?  But it's ok to toss them out.  It's a promotional gimmick and it's not your money.

Seriously?  You could pass them on to a neighbor or friend.  Make someone's day instead of complaining about it.
