@SilleeMee Nothing personal, but aren't most of us on a "fixed income"?  I really hate that term.  I still work, but it's not like I get a raise every week. So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm on a "fixed income" also.

To me a 'fixed income' is usually retirement income and does not change with fluctuations in inflation, has no commissions, no bonuses, no pay raises or holiday pay.

I can't remember the last time I bought clothing from the Q. I can get much better deals at numerous places. Just took advantage of Macy's weekend sale and bought a Ralph Lauren midi dress for about $50 with free shipping and last week bought three t-shirts from Lands End for $30 and free shipping. QVC tries hard to convince people that the prices they charge are the norm today. No true

100% agree! I saw a DC comfy knit pedal pusher for 69.00! QVC is nuts  I only by clearance anymore because of the outrageous prices.

I've loved VPH but her prices plus shipping are ridiculous! I can get the same home decor in Boscovs on sale for half price. Same with clothes! Sheesh, some of the simple tee shirts they sell for $40 look like $15 Walmart tops!

Same here!

QVC has a few new dresses being offered by various lines. With shipping and tax they are going to be $100. No way can I afford that. They are cute dresses but the construction and fabric don't warrant $100.

I looked at a Talbot's catalog and most items were over $50, many close to $100. I ordered pants on clearance last fall and received their spring catalog. Now I see how the other half shops.

Talbots has great sales, just bought when it was 40% off one item. Never pay full price as they always have sales.

Paying a high price for a quality item is one thing, however, some brands like CCB can sometimes have very cheaply made clothes at exorbitant prices. I love her styles, but I can’t always justify the cost of a substandard item. Now I have frequently paid a lot more for jeans from QVC because I loooove some of the fits not available in retail.

I just checked out Isaacs new items listed. Oh my gosh, the prices! With taxes and shipping a pair of capris would be $100! I just can't see buyers paying thes inflated prices lately.
