When did you realise you were addicted to QVC? When did you start to wonder whether you were being ripped off? What made you decide to try and wean yourself off QVC?
I am new to this forum, but since stumbling across it accidentally (which I'm so glad I did) I have woken up to the reality of what I've been doing now for over 10 years i.e. blindly Q-cutting unquestioningly and spending thousands of pounds on things that were rarely the fantasic buy and amazing bargain that I thought they were. I loved QVC and would buy at least one TSV a week, usually beauty but also fashion, shoes, bags, jewellery, easiyo, northern nights, Yankee candles, I've got it all. I would excitedly wait up til midnight, phone in hand, ready to buy anything and everything, and all too often I did.
I see now that I was addicted to QVC, in fact I still am, Q-cut was my fix, it's taking an enormous amount of willpower not to buy stuff. I am finding it's best to not even watch and I am no longer tuning in at midnight.
So, what was my "aha" moment? Well it was when I bought the latest Prai TSV. Alison Young, the resident beauty expert with 20 years experience in the beauty industry, told me/us that Prai products are marvellous, the Prai serum contains only 2 ingredients - the miraculous Prai root and matrixil. I was so looking forward to receiving my TSV, I was going to look like a teenager again. Then I tried the products. I was shocked. It was rubbish. The serum was like perfumed petrol. I read the reviews on the QVC website and saw that lots of people weren't happy with it and in fact the Prai serum was acually made up of 20 different ingredients, mainly mineral oil. And that was my wake up call. I realised Alison Young is just a salesperson, trying to sell thousands of items to people per hour, and at least where Prai is concerned, she isn't telling the truth.In fact, why does she look like a woman in her mid to late 40s? Surely with using all the wonderful beauty products she does she should look 33! It's quite embarrassing to admit, but it was only at that point that I started to think about what I had actually been spending so much money on so frivalously
So for any other ex-addicts out there, what was the nail in the coffin for you? xx
