Q Talk

I do. I don’t buy them with the intent of replacing things I buy at the supermarket. I buy them as a replacement for take out. In that regard, they save me both time and money.

I have tried twice to order food from Q.  Postickers came hot to the touch with dry ice melted to not even wetness in the box. Second David's cookies you bake, big box of gooey mess.  Both were not safe to eat. Q refunded. I won't order food ever.

I've purchased quite a few things, over the years.

The pork ribeyes from Rastelli's are one of my big favorites.  

I really like the chicken fried chicken from Heartland Fresh.

I like the Grandma's coffee cakes in several of the flavor varieties.

I still have some potstickers from a while back.  I vac-sealed them in 10s so I can keep them longer and just take out enough to make a meal.   Probably running out of those.

I used to get the Kansas City burgers.  One variety that was my fav was the bbq cheddar so, of course, that one went away.

I have some chicken fried steak that might also be from KC and like those a lot.  I freeze some serving sizes of mashed potatoes and keep some Southeastern Mills country gravy mixes on hand so, with those three things, I can make a whole meal.

I can't recall much more, at this point, but have been very pleased with 99% of what I've ordered.  The only thing I recall that was just awful was so many years ago I cannot recall all the details, but it was this box of little candies - each of which tasted like something different.  Can't recall what, but just remember they were not good.  It was probably btwn 15 and 20 yrs ago.

that makes sense. I may give something a try if it seems like something I won't find in the store.

Ooh, I forgot about the Enstrom's Toffee.

I really like that one and get the milk chocolate one that doesn't have the almond dust on it.   I accidentally ordered 3 tubs of it late last year, so I have pretty much a lifetime supply.    So good!  I keep them in Lock & Lock, in the refrigerator so they stay beautifully fresh.

I've had some outrageously good (but expensive) food from QVC.  I've also had some stinkers..... bacon wrapped sirloin with very tough meat (years ago from Kansas City)).  A Springfield ham that was so good one year I bought the same thing the following year and it came with a humongous bone,  so big I did not have enough ham on it for my guests and had to go to the grocery store and buy another one.  That Springfield ham was $70.  The one from the store was about $27 and it was delicious.  There are others, but you just have to find what you're willing to spend and what you'll put up with.  For me, I don't buy food from QVC anymore, even though I'm willing to pay more to get something good and special that comes straight to my door.

I have bought Cheryl's cookies and Junior's Cheesecakes from QVC.  I buy them because these two brands of food cannot be found in the local markets.

@chickenbutt 

Thanks, that is kind of exactly what I was wondering; if I pay more is it going to be yummy or inedible? A 99% satisfaction rate is pretty good!

@TheMemphisVette 

Wow, what a great detailed review! The "delish" column seems to be in the lead! 
what is CIJ?
If I eat all of the apples, no need to preserve! Just kidding, surely I would share a few. (?)
