LOL! Ain't that the truth!

 

Who has 'gift closets' anymore? According to QVC we need a gift warehouse with a freezer!

Some people just have a lot of money and $76 is like 50 cents to them.

 

If you don't bake, don't want to bake, not buy from a grocery store, have it shipped to your door, think it's the best you can buy, $76 is cheap.

 

 

Neman Marcus is the same with their Christmas catalog and food they offer.  Side dishes are almost a $100 a piece.  I remember I just had to have the chocolate chip cookies that are supposely famous, they were a big dud and a big chunk out of my wallet.

 

Another way to look at it is, take a can of Green Giant canned green bean, toss them in butter and top them off with toasted almonds.   You make it about $2 but if Neiman Marcus offers it for $50, they taste better.

Neiman-Marcus posted the famous Neiman-Marcus chocolate chip cookie recipe online, you can google it.

The price of ALL the food on QVC is BEYOND RIDICULOUS. I'm sure any food that QVC sells can be bought for less elsewhere.

Make that pretty much anywhere!

I'm always amazed at how expensive QVC food is.  But, even more amazed at how many people are buying.


@Winkk 

Count me in that number. The Corky's TSV that they had a few days ago looked very yummy.  I purchased the 5 lb. ham for $69.00 for Thanksgiving, and the Turkey full meal, I believe for $139 for Christmas, with the intent for freezing it and eating some of the side dishes with protein throughout the month of January. (WHY?)

 

Well I came to my senses. I was in Super Walmart on Saturday and purchased a 13.5 lb ham for $26.00 dollars. I promptly came home and cancelled both orders.

I think people get caught up with the food looking appealing and purchase. I might watch the Q 10 minutes a week, it's easy to be caught up in the hype.

Shouldn't that be your gift "freezer" 😲 as I'm sure your gift closet is overflowing with the great gifts from Q since every item since September has now become a "great gift"🤣

I can't believe $76 for 8 biscuits.  I realize they are stuffed but this is one item I can't believe.  They have charged a lot for other products but these are just biscuits. That's $9.50 for one plus the tax and s/h.

There is no Shipping and handling on food items....it is built into the price already...and depending on your state's tax laws...possibly no tax either.

I didn't buy anything---and didn't watch much either---all food is so boring----and so overpriced-----
