I factor that in for a specific purchase. I'm not saying everything
is cheaper. I don't watch QVC every day or every hour. Often it is
happenstance that I am at that channel. I got the best deal on my
Tracfone from them. I got a cell phone for less than was available
elsewhere plus I got 1300(phone, text, data each) minutes and a year's
worth of service -- all for the price of the phone. (Did you know
that you can purchase name brands from them?)
You gotta use your head whether you are in the brick and mortar or
online.
