Zip, zero, nada. I'd rather get my meats and other stuff at Costco for a lot less money.

Me too!!  Actually went there today.  Wild caught salmon (sockeye) for 12.99 lb., pork tenderloin 2.99 lb, loin lamb chops 7.99,  can't beat quality or price!!  Love Costco!!

It has been years since I purchased any food item from qvc.  High prices and poor quality being the reasons.

In the past I have purchased Mrs. P's. apples, pot stickers, croisants, and fruit.  None met my standards of taste or quality so I don't purchase food items anymore. 

ETA- I was gifted Cheryl's cookies. Yuck!  Way to dry and the frosting was super sweet. Not to my liking at all.

None, and been watching for 30 years

Rastelli's meats:  Never had a bad piece of meat from them.  Loved their pork ribeyes along with their steaks and burgers.  However, current pricing keeps me from buying more.  I have a butcher shop close to me that will cut anything I want, fresh off the bone, for a lot less and it's just as good.

David's Cookies:  I absolutely LOVE the Scones and bought several orders of them...when the price was reasonable.  Sadly, no longer the case.

Potstickers:  Tried cooking  a couple different ways....YUCK!  My dogs wouldn't eat one.  Threw them over the backyard fence for the raccoons and possums.  They were gone the next day.

Calzones:  Sorry, can't remember the brand, but got the same results as the potstickers.  Again, the coons and possums scored big time.

Honeybells:  First order was delicious.  Next two were half spoiled when they arrived, so....no more.

Grandma's coffee cake:  Ordered these a few times.  Never a bad one.

Jimmy the Baker:  Loved his cinnamon rolls, but very sweet.

These days, I just buy local.  Cheaper and almost as good.....and when I say "almost", it's a coin toss.

I don't like to food shop at the stores and I do not plan my meals so I need things to cook right from the freezer.
Been happy with the Faroe salmon but don't like I have to defrost them and usually the next day I don't feel like eating fish.

Corkeys  drum sticksare very good, easy to throw in oven for quick meal in 30 minutes. I do have issues with the dry ice and received some that were unacceptable but really like these 2 items

, I also get Rastelli Waygu burgers,easy to put on the Forman grill right from the freezer. I DO NOT care for Rastelli steaks or filet Mignon. I felt they had a weird grassy flavor and never came out right no matter how I cooked it. 
Got the potstickers, those also never came out right no matter how I cooked them.

I like the convenience of taking things out of the freezer last minute as I don't plan my meals so cooking from frozen is my way of cooking,

The shrimp scampi was also good right from the freezer. 
when it comes to sweets, I was surprise to like Jimmy Baker cinnamon raisin loaf, VERY Good! You can take from freezer and microwave.

Cheryls cookies are pretty good, I actually prefer to eat them frozen, LOL! 
Prindable apples seem to have tiny hard candies on the outer apple which I don't care for. I wish they would just do a basic Carmel and nuts apple but their pretzel rods are great...minus those little hard candies on the outside

just bought some salmon. Love

potstickers in the past. Little salty.

heartland chicken. Very salty

Popcorn. Not a fan

germack. No biggie

pork steaks. Extremely salty.

if items were less salty I'd buy them again.

[Zhills]

I bought some burgers that were not sealed.  Lost half of them.  QVC replaced a few but it was a while before I discovered the other.  

I order the Heartland nuggets this time...only because I can't find one at the Grocer that I like the breading.  If I like them, I'll buy them.  Quick meals is my routine now!

Ordered the chicken filets with gravy for my son and he liked them but they looked "pale" to me....definitely not Southern fried!  

Wish me luck!

I just received the Beatrice Bakery Chocolate Fruitcake.

I Like their traditional fruitcake already and have wanted to try the chocolate but never have seen a review for the Chocolate type.

I Like it.  It does seem more like a dense Chocolate Cherry cake than a fruitcake as the other fruits are masked by the chocolate.

As a presenter said the chocolate mellows out the boozy flavour.

The cherries and nuts are fresh. The chocolate is mellow. It is moist and dense like their traditional fruitcake is. 

I can recommend it if you like chocolate and fruitcake.

If I didn't have to worry and watch my carb intake I would probably buy a lot more.  Many desserts and candy treats look great!

I have purchased their bagels (while I wasn't watching my carb intake) and they are as good as buying from a local NY bagel place!

I've also tried Rastelli's waygo (sp?) burgers.  They were good but my local farmer's market sells pretty good frozen burgers.
