@MrWilkes
I buy a fair amount of food items from QVC. So I'm not one who complains. To me it's just a lot for rice

@THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes   Stop crying before you are hurt.  No one said anything negative about those who buy this rice.

 

Most of us do not live in NYC where the cost of living is high.

 

Fried rice isn't expensive in many Chinese restaurants.  It is pretty cheap where I live.

 

I understand why some people think it is overpriced.  They can buy it cheaper locally and it is freshly made, not from bag.

 

Different circumstances are at play.

Re: No thank you

[ Edited ]

Just explaining why I appreciate and enjoy and support and love this rice.

 

It's delicious!  Best Fried Rice Evah!  Many just loathe to see positive things said about QVC's food offerings.  Why? Who knows?

 

Oh.  By the way..... This seems somewhat negative to me:

 

"You'd have to be nuts to buy this stuff"

 

The non-buyers love to mock and scold the buyers.  It's the stuff that QVC forums are made of.

@THEY CallMe Mr Wilkes  the negative comment you quoted was made AFTER your complaint about negative comments.

 

I am glad you enjoy the rice and that it is a savings for you.  For many people this is expensive and they can buy it locally for less money.

 

All of us no matter where we live should be mindful that what works for one does not work for all....that includes me as well.

The price is RIDICULOUS

Check out Lundberg's rice.  Grown in California and excellent company with the best quality rices and lots of variety.  

 

We order directly from them--mostly Basmati rice and brown rice.  But they do have already prepaired but haven't tried it.


 

Love Lundberg's! Superior rice in many ways. Especially like the basmati and arborio.

Free Shipping & Handling.

 

You do have to look at the QVC food prices as what would the item cost in a restaurant, not what would it cost if you made it yourself.  I don't buy a lot of food online, but when I do, it's always been worth it to me to not have to shop for ingredients, prep the ingredients, and cook the ingredients, often in multiple steps.  

 

Would I buy this item?  No.  I rarely ever eat rice.  But no put-down to someone who would.  Others might buy that, but wouldn't buy the St. Clair sides I buy for Thanksgiving.

See Post #8

 

I'd say that is negative against anyone wanting to buy this rice.

@RespectLife See post #6....this was written  before anyone made a negative complaint.

 

Then post #8 made a negative complaint....after the fact.

 

 I did acknowledge this fact.
