The price, like ALL the food QVC sells, is RIDICULOUS.

ENJOY!

I agree the price for these cookies seems steep and I wouldn't buy them. I have spend a ridiculous amout of money, however, on other things.  I remember when Smashbox first came on the Q many years ago and felt guilty for buying a tiny pot of their eyeliner for $40 at the time. My friends thought I was crazy!

@jlkz - When someone calls others a fool for spending his/her money on something they think is worth it, I'm always curious about what that person deems worth it.

It seems a logical question to me.  (For instance, I might not spend $200 on a handbag or a pair of shoes, but I wouldn't consider someone who did a fool.)

And calling others a "fool" seems snarky to me, if not downright rude.

@Venezia  -  Yes, calling a fellow poster a fool for what he/she purchases is downright rude.

It's what makes the world such an interesting place, especially the online world! We're all different with different tastes and have different $$ to spend on things that mean something special to us whether it is a coat, cosmetics, jewelry, or a cookie. I'm sure I have bought things that others would think foolish . . . just ask my husband!

@Tori3569 --yes there is a crumbl store near us and the cookies are horrilbe!!! DD got a gift card from her boss---she threw it away as she couldn't even give it away--think it was a $25 one too. Sorry--just can't/won' pay that much for one cookie!!

We all spend our money as we see fit.  It's no one else's business.  Leave the judgement at the door.

I haven't ordered these cookies (I know local gourmet cookies/baked goods can easily cost that), but I have ordered other food items from the Q and I'm certainly not a fool.

Care to share some of the non-essential things you spend your money on?

Happy to share my latest non-essential purchase.  Ordered 6 winter coats, 3 in boy sizes, and 3 in girls sizes.  I'll be taking them to a donation site in the Denver area to give to kids who don't have any.  Have a great day.

@brandiwine - I'm sure many of us on here also donate to charitable causes.  I suppose you could call that non-essential, but I wouldn't.  I call it helping my neighbors (known or unknown).

I'd call non-essential something a person splurges on for him/herself, just because it makes that person happy.  It doesn't mean they can't or don't also help out others along the way.  We also have a coat drive here, as well as a toy drive, a food drive - the list goes on.

I'm sure the children in Denver will appreciate your act of kindness.  You have a good day, too.

I don't understand how a simple opinion descends into calling fool, asking what you spend your money on.  State an opinion and woe to you. 

Buy the cookie, don't buy it, too much $ whatever. This message board is getting too weird.

Those Crumbl cookies are terrible. There is a Crumbl Cookies store near me and I don't know how they stay in business, it's always empty and the 2x I tried their cookies they were dry and mealy.

@MoJoV  -  Discussions take place on message boards.  It's not just giving an opinion and that's the end.  It branches out and people participate in coversations.  I don't find anything weird about it at all.

I do find calling fellow posters a fool for purchasing something mean.  That's my opinion.
