Re: I couldn't believe the price!

I don't think SG has anything to do with her prices.  It's QVC that sets them so you have to blame them.  Go to their FB page and complain.

 

QVC is the middleman, even though they claim they cut out the middleman, and bring everything directly to the customer.  QVC has to make money so they are going to mark things up to make that happen.

@dex  Wages may be going up for somebody (good for them!) but not so at my house!

Re: I couldn't believe the price!

I hardly buy any clothes here unless I see them on sale and mostly tops for I need petite

I go to thrift shops and I am not ashamed to. There is a SA that seems to have brand new clothes. I should say I do not work and am older than probably most here. The only thing I have splurged on are Sketchers and I love them. Took the chance and they worked.

@dex  Not so much here in Denver - $8.23.  Might be seeing something on our ballot this Nov, though.  Yet the price of rentals has gone up well over 20% in the last few years.  This just confirms what I've suspected for a while now - the middle class no longer exists.  You're either rich or poor.

@DoneTryin I couldn't agree more with you.My son has a law degree and earns 20.00 an hour.He is actually worse off than if he made the minimum because he doesn't get any assistance.

Back on topic, I just saw an online ad for a strappy little cami for $48.  Say what?  A couple dollars' worth of fabric & some cording from the fabric store would accomplish the same thing.  With the remaining $45, you'd have a down payment for the jeans to go with it.  LOL

I assume this was a simple solid color tank.  If so compare that price with Talbot's solid color tank that sell,for $24.50 regular price currently on sale for $14.50 plus $8.00 S&H  available in 12 colors or Lands End solid tanks on sale for $15.00 plus $8.00'S&H available in 10 Colors.  Why people buy clothing from QVC at their outrageous prices is beyond me.

This has been discussed before.  Many are willing to pay more, and sometimes double, because they can use easy pay.  I remember a poster was fine with paying hundreds of dollars more for an older model TV because easy pay was offered.
