Q Talk

@Susan345.  Qvc food is expensive because it's prepared for you and shipped, often by second day air.   You're paying for these services as well as the food.

If there's a problem with a food order, you just call cs for a full refund.

I take the box and packing materials and drop it in my garbage can.

Do a lot of people buy the food offered on QVC? 

Sometimes I see things that look really good but I don't order it.  Mostly because it is very expensive and I worry about how it will arrive.  

Assuming it is packaged properly it should be OK.  But then I think about how to dispose of the packaging.

This is all about the convenience factor ... just like getting food at the deli or having a pizza delivered to our home.

They have the shipping all worked out, and they can be great gifts to send to someone who doesn't get out as much as they used to.

Yes, love the Egg Harbor salmon, Rastelli steaks, Corky's bacon wrapped turkey breast with stuffing.

The only one we've purchased that is processed is the stuffed turkey breast and those are eaten few and far between.

The other meats are not processed and taste very fresh especially the salmon.

We toss the packaging into recycle.

Thanks for all the replies.  The reason I asked is because many years ago I bought Honey bell oranges and they were horrible and it was hard to get a refund.

Also, I question packaging because I need help with taking out the trash and I get a prescription that is packed in Styrofoam and is over done and too heavy for me to lift.

Up until last Thanksgiving I always ordered the 3 St. Clair sides.   I wouldn't hesitate to do so again.  Is it expensive?  Yes.  Does it allow me a little less to worry about? Yes.  Priceless.  I've tried all the Thangsving offerings around here and I didn't like them.  The St. Clair dressing has the same flavor profile as mine.  So, if you don't like it, you wouldn't like mine either.  But, it's what I'm accustomed to.  

Most of their food items I do find too expensive, but if I lived alone, I would probably buy a lot of it.  It's really difficult to try and put together a meal for one.  Once you buy ALL the ingredients to make it yourself, and then you end up with a bunch of leftovers which may or may not be freezable and come out the same from frozen, it's just not worth my time especially since I don't enjoy cooking.  

So, you have to consider what's your time worth to you.  I'd much rather be outside working in the yard, weather permitting.

Living in the South, I would want to avoid ordering anything that needs to be kept cold during the summer though.

I am on auto delivery of two separate shipments of the Faroe Island Salmon filets. they are delicious.  I eat one about 3 times a week

My favorite way to cook them is with a locally made Italian dressing dollup on top, sprinkles of dill, capers and then topped with thin lemon slices.

Cook in counter top oven about 14 mins, so delicious!

How do you cook yours?

[Katrinka23]

ABSOLUTELY! .  Since I stopped driving and sold my car, I depend on my supermarket, Amazon and QVC for delivery.  It's so easy to use this service even though it may cost more.

I don't worry about the trash!

I always keep two styrofoam containers in the trunk of my car.  I use them for frozen food or cold items like milk, butter, eggs.  Everything stays cold which is great now that it's hot out.  I also use them when I buy a rotisserie chicken.  The chicken stays warm till I get home.
