Watched a bit of the food programme today, without Andy Peters who was" in makeup??'( Also, Dale introduced the programme saying AP , a gourmand !!! would join later on - a gourmand!!!!) Anyway, there was a cheese offer, I think from the Mouse House. 3 x 100 g cheese trucklesfor £11.95 plus postage and packing of £5.95!! Half the cost again of the item. So 300 g of cheese costs £17.90. Who on earth would buy that? £5.96 for 100g of bog standard cheese. incredible pricing.

All the supermarkets do those truckle cheeses at Christmas in all different kinds of flavours and they are never more than a couple of pounds each (and no postage). Q's food prices are scandalous and then they have the cheek to charge huge postage on top. Have a look at the prices of their drinks as well - no one in their right mind would buy them.

Agree Candy, I'd love to know if they sold many. I mean, almost £6 for 4 ozs of cheese! That's got to be on a par with Harrods prices surely. I buy a really good vintage cheddar, strength 7, Davidstow , from Aldi for £2.69 for around 270g.
As for the cocktails they sell, no thanks. Reviews aren't that good. Yet again totally overpriced for what they are.

Tesco have 100gram Truckles for £1.25 each. On special 2 for £2 clubcard price until 23 December. They also have a 300 gram Tesco Finest Cheddar for £3.50 not on special plus other flavours.

I’ll probably include a couple of the special price ones in my next regular home delivery. Stopped buying the big boxes of biscuits for cheese and just buy a packet of Cornish wafers.

Just spotted some in their 3 for 2 deli offer too.

Yes, I had a look on their deli, got some good cheeses I'll be trying out! And they aren't great big chunks either. Can't beat a good bit of cheese!

I really cannot see why anyone would buy food from QVC (not even mentioning the Insufferable AP).Even if you were isolated/ not able to get out to shops there are far better online ( or I am sure other ways of ordering without the internet). The prices, I take your quotes as I don’t watch any of the shows) but then add p&p.I know we all view things & values differently but this is ‘daylight robbery’ surely?

Fortnum & Mason’s truffled cheddar is £13.50 for 400g although admittedly £5.95 p&p. Compares quite well price-wise with QVC and I know which I’d prefer.
