Not So Alberti!

[ Edited ]

Husband and I are watching the food show just now. I tell you hosts and vendors will say anything to sell a product...even when it is not true.  Alberti just said even Lobster in Maine is expensive. BS!  QVC's $219 for lobster is price gouging. Fresh whole chix lobsters are $6.99 pp. here.   If you go on GreenHead site you can get 16 lobster tails (2 more then what is offered on this presentation) 4-5 oz for $141.00 Watch what you say Alberti. You ****** this Mainer off!

That’s their job. That’s what they are paid to do. If they say the food is awful or expensive you will never see them again. What type of business do you all think QVC is? They certainly are not food reviewers. They sell to make a profit.

i am pretty sure alberti is talking about going out to eat lobster in a restaurant and the pricing you will find.

also of note.......qvc has a 100% money back guarantee on their food and  you dont have to send it back. they credit your account immediately.

 

when you order from the greenhead lobster site they do charge shipping.

 I call this, complaining just for the sake of complaining.....LOL   Perhaps you can take orders and purchase your ME lobster and bring it our homes.

A person from Maine accused me of lying back in the 1980's when I told her how much a lobster costs in Oklahoma.  She told me she simply did not believe that.

 

I pointed out that they had to have a plane ticket to get here.  She still said I was lying.

So much for truth in advertising. Anyone can say anything by your standards is that it?

Lobster dinners are not even close to being that expensive in restaurants in Maine. Even for twin lobsters.
