I have a feeling their food sales are through the roof with so many people not wanting to get out and shop.  I buy a few of the gourmet holiday items, because they make great Christmas gifts, i.e., Mrs. Prindables, Enstrom's toffee, Landies Candies, etc.

They have never denied that Food has been their most successful category since March.  It is highlighted in every quarterly earnings report.  I would expect them to expand offerings and hours into the foreseeable future. That's just good, common business sense (to me, in my opinion. )

As long as people are willing to pay QVC prices, then QVC will continue to charge those prices.  When they raise them, if people continue to buy  at the raised prices, QVC will continue to raise them, again and again until people stop paying them.  It's the consumers demands and what they're willing to pay that is the driving force behind it, as it should be-that's what businesses look at to make their profits.

 

I know the vendors and hosts at home during the shows get to keep and eat the food but at the studio, if the hosts and QVC staff aren't doing that right now, what are they doing with all of that food?  Are they throwing it away?  Are they able to give it to the shelters etc?
