JM/QVC insane pricing

ellaphant — Mon, 12 Dec 2022 02:33:09 GMT

JM selling (2) 4oz bottles of argan oil for $100.
Are you kidding ?
I've been buying cold pressed USDA organic argan oil from Amazon for $19 for 4oz for years!

Maybe it's a joke?

I get mine from Trader Joe's for 7.99 and is just as good as JMs

I bought the two JM bottles for $100 and I'm a very thrifty person. I've been using it for years, have tried many other brands and always return to JM. It just works much better for my skin.

Here's other things I won't compromise on: bras, shoes, home repair people, car mechanic, brake pads, tires, lightbulbs, toilet paper, audio equipment, paint, dental hygienist, and the location of a house or apartment.

What brand do you use? I have been using JM looking for argan oil that works great and costs less

Another happy customer that buys Trader Joe's argan oil.

It is Argan oil. I buy from Amazon organic 100% argan oil.

Somewhere between $9 to $11.

Alberti appeared on Good Day Philadelphia this morning. Good Day host Mike Jerrick, age 72, said he has a whole room full of Josie Maran products.

Or Google Good Day Philadelphia. The segment is there.

Or maybe not. Why would they have taken down the Mike Jerrick segment? Was he poofed?

I always wondered how JM's oil is different from all the other less expensive brands.

Never purchased, but watched JM demonstrate her oil(s) on her bare arms & body. So much time wasted on that clip about the indigenous women cracking open those nuts, I think the entire Q-viewing audience has seen it now. But kudos to Josie for her marketing strategies that apparently are selling her products.

@seaBreeze

Same over & over again "story" like Beekman guys who claim they were " struggling unemployed & almost broke" until they discovered goat soap ...nope they were both successful businessman, had food network show & won a million dollars winning the Amazing Race -- which they never mention.

Both these vendors remind me of those carnival barkers selling snake oil. I won't buy from either. Then again, I have hard time "believing" most the stories hosts or vendors say!🤨🤨

I just read JM argon oil ingredients and my 7.99 argon oil ingredients and they are the exact same!
ORGANIC ARGANIA SPINOSA (ARGONA)KERNEL OIL
PRODUCT OF MOROCCO
Josie Maran says the NY Times calls it Liquid Gold in a bottle. HOWEVER it's NOT CALLING JOSIE MARANS ARGON OIL liquid gold the TIMES IS JUST REFERRING TO ARGON OIL IN GENERAL

I agree about Beekman boys as always found their story a bit fishy. Brent was (is) a doctor. How was he broke and unemployed?

@KKJ A few years ago I bought their soaps on auto delivery. I think it may have been a TSV, 5 or 6 big bars every few months. We are still using it up. It smells nice, but there is nothing special about it. Actually, it kind of dries out my skin. I won't buy any more of their products. I had no idea they were on and won the Amazing Race - never watch that show. I too find their backstory a bit suspect. While the goats are cute, we all know they just bring them on to catch the viewers' attention.

Well, they don't have a wealthy woman speaking from an island ,wearing very revealing clothing, slathering it on herself. That's different.

What exactly does argan oil do?

@betteD Josie claims all kinds of things. For me, it just sat on my skin and when I showered the next morning, it felt like grease was just washing down the drain. I don't think I used it on my face, I put it on my arms and legs. In my opinion, there are better, less expensive products to use.

I've been using the Argan Reserve oil for awhile now and one thing I don't like about it is it really burns your eyes if you get it anywhere near there.
