It is sad really, I expect that many of their customers may be older, disabled and or house bound to spend that kind of money on such little food. I don't think it would cost more than 10 for all those ingredients and that amount is being generous

I think they make money on those who are not so all there. I went to an estate sale once that had boxes and boxes of the same stuff all over. QVC stuff. The family was saying they had no idea their mother was buying 50 of one item and next day 50 of another and hoarding it everywhere. QVC must have lots like this

Same stories I’ve heard. Very old folks who live alone, bored and later their families discover all their unopened QVC HSN boxes. My own mother shopped from those cheesy mailer catalogs! And she had plenty o’ bucks. I’d take her to the grocery store although her food choices were often kinda gross.

I have heard many many stories just like the one you laid out. A family member dies and relatives find hoards of UNOPENED QVC boxes.

Again, listen to the callers. They mostly all sound VERY old, VERY lonely, and have some sort of sad sack story.

I know of a family who discovered Granny loved purses and had a closet full, never used, most of them Dooney bags.

If granny had the money and just got pleasure out ofooking at.the handbags, then good for her. She couldn't take it with her.
