A seven pound prime rib roast for only five cents less than $200.00!!

Thank God for online shopping.  Imagine the long lines you would have to wait in  at your

brick and mortar counter?

@781Florist Aren't you watching the Bruins?! 🏒 Or did you switch channels between periods? 🤓

Saw the Prime rib roast at Costco yesterday, $24.99 a pound. The one I was looking at cost $149.

And yes I had to wait in a line just to get close to the case.

Prime cuts of beef are expensive.

Shaws and Star Market supermarkets are advertising 6 to 8 lb prime rib roasts for $8.99

a pound.  7lbs for $63.00.  I would stand in line to save $137.00!

Never heard of Shaws or Stars Markets. Prices are different in different areas of the country. And I suspect those markets are selling Choice. In my area the cheapest I've seen bone-in Choice has been $13.99 lb. But for a Christmas dinner many people enjoy splurging on Prime. 

I guess I'll never understand if someone is not interest in buying any item here, then what does it matter what it cost someone else?

I'll also never understand those posters who repeatedly come to a message board hosted by a shopping channel and imply or blatantly post negative comments about the items sold, blarantly make negative comments about the host, complain about the prices, complain about the IT department, complain about the shipping and the cost of the shipping, and top it off with snide insulting comments about those who collectively do make purchases. The ones who must be crazy to pay these prices, the ones with holes in their heads, the ones lacking critical thinking skills to price compare. You know those customers who do actually contribute to the company so the message board can stay up and running. 

The best comments are from those who, what word should I use, almost proudly proclaim that they don't shop here. One would think that might be a comment best kept to one's self. Talk about biting a hand that feeds you.

In this climate of cost cutting what possible motivation should QVC have to continue with this forum when there are so many ungracious contributing guest.

There's a way to alert readers to a great deal or similar product at another retailer without denigrating the products or taste of posters here. There's a way to post constructive criticism about host or products without being insulating. 

Okay, off my soapbox.

Is that a "Bargain"? I quit eating meat/fish/fowl in the mid '70's, so I have no idea. If that is called "a Bargain"? Sure glad with my choice decades ago.

For $200 I could feed myself for at least 3+ months!

Don't put away the soapbox.  You will need it the next time you mount your high horse.

As far as people and their right to express their opinions...whether or not they coincide with yours, should we ask them to provide an authenticated record of their purchases 

on the Q either before or in the midst of expressing that opinion?  That way all the stars or "prima ballerinas" or simply Etoilles can then grant them permission to proceed.

I've been shopping at QVC since CVN switched over, and HSN since the Dori Ball and Hans Burt days.  I've bought everything from kitchen appliances to automobile supplies, to novelty items and home decor  to real diamond and aquamarine jewelry from both places.  Whether or not that gets me past your guardhouse means absolutely nothing to me.  I will continue to feel free to express an opinion on the quality of product, the cost of product, the shipment of product, or anything else that affects my pocketbook or sensibilities as a consumer.

@hckynutjohn  Hi john!  I was being facetious with that heading!  But be careful!!  Some people come charging out if you think something is outrageously priced.
