For the food items you get them sent in November or December. You are just doing a pre-order of the items.
My grandma sent us gifts of a ham and chocolate covered apples last year that she ordered in July that I think we got in early December.
I watched a few of the presentations this year and some items you could also lock in the price for a Spring order.
Thanks for the info
I don’t watch shopping channels and have no idea how they work.
It sounds like futures trading. You’re betting that prices will go up and not down.
