I haven’t bought anything off qvc since December 31st 2023. Not buying any LUG has been the hardest. I still like to watch the shows though to torture myself.

I have changed my spending habits as well.  Sometimes hard but I just don't need as much as I think I do. Feels kind of good as well to not watch as much or purchase as much.

Are you just trying to cut back on shopping?  I don't mean to be nosy, so I apologize if my question sounds that way.  I only ask because I've taken breaks periodically from shopping for clothes, purses, things like that too.  I really don't "need" anything, but sometimes find myself shopping out of habit.

Like yourself though, I always still enjoy watching the Q even when taking a shopping break.😃❤️

I understand. I will be watching some of CIJ, but I will not be purchasing anything. I'm retired and just don't need to be buying anything other than neccessities.

Cherie I made a New Year's resolution no LUG for a year. Plus I got into debt big time because of the Q. I had to borrow money from my parents to pay it off. Now I gotta pay them back.

I watch but I have not made a Q purchase since 2012, it really is not hard, I just say NO !! I do buy from HSN and even SHQ sometimes, when I get really good deals. Love the HSN reduced prices, coupons and free shipping.

I'm so sorry.  Believe me, I can totally relate to just what you're saying too. It's an easy situation to be in, I know from experience.  I've cut back tremendously on what I'm buying myself.❤️❤️❤️

I totally get it @ShortyLugNut, I've bought quite a lot of Q stuff over the years as well. Fortunately am not into purses & jewelry but am into beauty & skincare. I've also purchased my share of food items which I feel guilty about as Q's food is pretty $$$!  Recently got the David's lemon scones and must say they are very good! Wanted to get the blueberry as well but were sold out by time I decided to order.

The prices are out of control and tops tops tops, shoes, shoes, shoes, hot baggy ugly pants in the summer. Just plain awful. My opinion.

I really agree about the prices!  No matter how hard they try to tell us how wonderful the prices are and how their prices should have another digit in front, this is simply NOT TRUE!  I do go to other stores and see comparable and better items with lower prices.
