    Re: Is anyone addicted to QVC and HSN?

    i love the mall shopping experience. i make a picnic for our day, cause the nearest mall is dyersburg tennesse and thats small compared to lakeside mall in mich. but the kids enjoy the day out, window shopping, shopping and the rest area usually is dressed up for kids. last time i was at lakeside it was about health and their whole area was filled with play equiptment like food. a bacon teeter tauter, pancake seats with butter pats, i forget what the eggs were, maybe the slide. but my kids had a ball! and it was free. i also miss at lakeside that part of thier rental agreement is that on halloween all stores pass out something and they have 2 hr indoor trick or treats. my kids get a pillowcase full of stuff. candy, pencils, pens, coupons, pennys. i love the coupons myself, like the theater had bogo coupons, hudsons, sears jcpenny handed out candy with thier sale wrappers, so the kids and i both got something. its benificial to everyone, the store gets good reps for thinking of the kids of thier customers, this will generate more sales especially if the coupons good thru december, it totally pleases me! ill be back with good stuff given for sure, and its indoors, no worrys about how cold it is, how dark it is, if its raining or snowing, you follow the path with your kids, and in 2 hrs u made out like a bandit! lol. id say my kids got about 3 dollars, 10 pencils, 5 pens, alot of candy and i got lots of coupons. kaybee i think if i remember thats the right toy store, theres 3 stores in lakeside, that gave out 5x7 coloring pages with red and blue crayons and it had a coupon for 10% off your next visit. which is tax almost twice, so thats all good!

      oh another thing that might make it better is saving more money. i looked up the mall and signed up for all the email and snail mail things they offered. the main page for your mall will have a list of all the stores in the mall. pull up thier pages and get signed up, i get dillard discounts all the time and gnc too.

              i sign up for any site and catalog i can get, i have gotten that many one time, but mostly a new one arrives each day almost. i just got a pamphlet i loved too from febreeze. the down n dirty on allergins. with a 2 off any febreeze. this will come in handy next wally world sale of two for ten. i still have a dollar coupon too, so it will be 7 in the end for two big bottles. cant beat that with a stick.lol. catalogs give me alot of my ideas too. like last solutions has a rack with baskets, its expensive! it looks like a cd rack to me, and with dollar store plastic baskets, i could do same thing for 20 dollars. im gonna too! lol 3 kids, 2 bdrms for them, they need all the storage solutions possible.lol

                I don't watch the shows, but order from QVC's website occasionally. I would much prefer to order there than GO shopping. Seriously think I'm allergic to shopping. And, I used to make time to go to the mall............who knew??
                I figure I only buy what I need this way, I too get clothing this way. Plus gifts for others.........seems like I'm saving gas money & my time.
                Often their price is cheaper than local things, according to ads, print & TV.
                Works for me, but then I don't buy much. I won't ever be in their best customer club!!

                  I was for a while, but I have slowed way down. Did not buy one piece of jewelry last year, just a few clothes and a candle for a gift.

                    with the cost of credit charges, i would think it wouldnt be so cheap, i know credit cards arent cheap. i dont have any so then i dont have the option to get anything.

                      Sweeos, that was a fascinating article on QVC's tremendous profitability. I have always been intrigued with shopping channels' success becus it is definitely not the usual sales pitch.

                      Sweeps, are they a public company? I'd like to buy their stock!

                        Are you sure? QVC is owned by Liberty Media (symbol: L). Their stock has performed very poorly since 2000.

                          Charging for items purchased at QVC is not expensive. You pay your bill each month and pay no interest at all. You do have to pay for S&H, but that is often less than gas for your car.
