Pricing is making my cutting back on shopping easy

[ Edited ]

$61 for a plaid plaid shirt.....hope this is not a preview of upcoming Fall pricing. I think it probably is.

I have a maximum amount I'll pay for a shirt and $61

Personally I do not like easy pay, getting a charge on my card 3 or 4 months later and forgetting what I bought. It can help on bigger ticket items that you really want, but I have not done that much at all. It has become their mantra this year.

@wakefield64   ITA.  Why would we want 5 easy pays of $6 on a $30 item, for instance?  I agree it's useful on the rare occasions where we are purchasing something expensive, but for items under $50 or $60, if you need 5 EP's, then you probably shouldn't be buying it.

I don't buy anything from QVC that I can buy somewhere else for less money.

 

But ... with the higher prices on what I do buy ... where in the past I might buy two of an item ... I'll only buy one now.  

 

Most of my shopping dollars go elsewhere.

I never thought I was extravagant when it comes to buying clothes. But I guess I am. You all think $61 is a lot for a shirt? Really? That's pretty much average what I pay around here. But I do live in the boonies and the surrounding towns have nothing but tourists boutiques. So $61 is a steal!

my Q shopping has been dwindling every month.  also, i used to LOVE AM style, and i don't even hardly watch it anymore.  still love Leah, but the show has gone down the tubes imo.

I agree, its just a mind game.  They want you to look at the easy pay amount and think its no big deal but those easy pays sure add up!  I don't use easy pay unless it is a considerable purchase.  Even then i usually regret it!
