The CCs have to compete based on price or else they will not survive. One key to getting reasonable quality is to never order anything that would ordinarly cost much more outside TV. Steak is an example. If I see a price for a steak dinner that is much more reasonable than I would be expected to pay in other areas, I will not order it since it probably will be inferior quality beef. The old addage "you get what you pay for" is still true.

good point
