Why is everything so expensive now?

I have always been able to afford QVC...but now I can't. Just about everything clothing wise is over $40.00 for a top. It makes me so sad that I can't afford a simple top now.

I'm pretty sure that's why they are offering so many easy pays these days. I remember when easy pays were somewhat rare, and usually only on bigger ticket items, now it seems like every other day there are easy pay specials, not to mention the easy pays on the Q cards.

Re: Why is everything so expensive now?

I agree. Even the Denim & Company tee shirts are ridiculous. I got some really nice Henley style tees at Kohls for $11.99....on sale and with my extra 30% off. Really soft, nice material....they washed beautifully...did not shrink. So I see no sense in paying $30 to $50 for those they show on here. It's not that I can't afford them, but I like getting good deals on everything I buy, and I don't like wasting my money. I also find great deals at Macys...Love shopping there!

Totally agree that the prices have gotten crazy, especially when you add the shipping cost and tax.  It's all about impulse buying.  If the quality was always superior to other lines available in b & m stores perhaps the prices would be justified but especially lately I find the quality is hit and miss.  They are featuring a tank top for $57 plus shipping and handling, really?

I often can get better deals using coupons at department stores.  I find the comparable prices must be from high end stores with no sales or coupons.  I rarely buy anything full price at retail.

I agree with @seedpie that you get better deals at department stores.  It is always better to compare online prices if you believe that QVC prices have increased.  I know that many of the major retailers have really good online prices and many times better deals when you shop online.

Re: Why is everything so expensive now?

I agree with you too.a lil t-shirt for$40 is pretty bad. Susan graver pieces are also much too high. I guess designers are making out alright on the Q.and then when they say it's free shipping it's really a joke. You know they added it into the price. Honestly I feel that their quality has gone down too. It's a shame
