She is not just pretty she is very smart and so devoted to all of you, she can't do enough for you, to all the trouble she goes, the time, the money just to give you the best. Thank you young lady, bless you. 😊

[@hana7333]

Thank you for saying that we need to focus on basic survival budget, and if we have extra spending cash only then to splurge on shopping deals. Means a lot to hear from an influencer. You are amazing, and so different from others.

[@racheltennant1018]

Loved this video and also really appreciated that you took the time to remind people of priorities, and to not overspend. It's very refreshing to hear sensible advice rather than, buy, buy all the time, so thank you. ☺️

[@dyuhas62]

Good tips, Josie! And I totally agree about shopping alone. I actually never shop with others. When I shop I'm on a mission and want to do it a my pace without wasting time looking at stuff that I've no interest in. And I really don't want to worry that I'm dragging someone else around where they don't want to go.

[@georgieedwards6973]

WOW Josie, you have worked so hard. Thank you for putting in all the time we really appreciate it, keep it up through the week! ❤️👍🏻

[@sabrinaj1996]

Such an informative video! I’ve learned so much since I found your channel! I now always look at the fabric composition and try to pair the the item with at least 3 different outfits. I feel like I shop much better now and I’m sooo happy with the new clothes I have!

[@kamloopscruiser874]

I love your vids. I have been a sub since way back when. I always watch your vids before a shopping haul or shopping anything 😂. God bless you.

[@emeliethomas5351]

Your videos around the Black Friday season are my favourite! You are THE BEST fashion content creator I follow on social media! 💕I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your content. Your blog posts with discount codes, tips for shopping, bringing us along with you on your Black Friday shopping trips in vlogs (online + in store). You work so hard! I'm really excited for all the videos and blog updates! 💕

[@pretichaturvedi171]

Thank you for your hard work with these videos. You are one of the most consistent vlogers with good fashion/beauty content out there. Really appreciate you.

[@caitlinlim9865]

YAY can't wait for this week! Thank you for being so hardworking - we really really appreciate it!

[@prutranelle5693]

‘Ditch the dead weight, shop by yourself’. Love it 😍

[@izzytaylor5655]

Can't wait to watch your black Friday shopping video! I love an organised shopping trip, planned and focused. Monica in Friends with her clipboard and whistle vibes. I think knowing what you want before the sales starts is essential, that way you can research the item and know if it's a good deal. Xx.

[@MsPurplesunset]

Hi, Josie! I'm a Romanian girl living in Lyon, France, and I just want to tell you that I'm thrilled by your videos! You are simply amazing, giving us a lot of useful pieces of advice. I totally love your style, your tips, and your voice, haha! I've been watching you for years and I won't let you go

[@binnisthreading7396]

I’m going to brave Black Friday like a pro this year. I’ve my spreadsheet/list at the ready thanks to you. Thank you 🙏

[@JosieIrons]

WELL DONE!!!

[@josefineoijer]

It does take time and effort to make good deals on black friade but it's so worth it, if you're just prepared and you stick to your list you CAN save money but if you don't you will 100% end up loosing money. You are so right about practicing self control because it doesn't matter if that neon bag will "never" be on sale again, you don't want it, you don't need it, you won't get it! 😄

[@watermelongal5512]

Hi Josie! I love your pink sweater!💕 It's super pretty! 🥰I tend to overspend on impulse buys. Hard to resist. I will try really hard to not spend as much. Thank you so much for your wonderful tips and suggestions. Appreciate them!

[@sarahryanthestylecoach]

I'm all about avoiding impulse buys on Black Friday. Definitely go prepared with a list! x

[@manwellagrero]

I used to do these mistakes when I was in college but as I grow older being a mother in my early 30s, I learnt from experience what to go for and how to be prepared.. Thank you Josie. U r so much dedicated to ur channel and subscribers

[@mackenziemitchel6360]

Sorry my comments tend to be longer, I don't originally plan for them to be. Love this video and wish I had some of this knowledge a few years ago lol. I am legitimately a recovering shopaholic (unfortunately) and have the mounds of credit card debit to prove it. Black Friday is always one of the hardest times of the year for me, as I was so used to buying whatever I wanted (which unfortunately was a lot of very expensive items within a short period of time), so it's still very hard for me to try to limit myself and try to get it through my head that I can not buy everything I want and will likely never be able to buy everything I want. Also I'm weird and different in the fact that when I was shopping non- stop and making many impulse purchases of very high priced items I never regretted purchasing and still don't regret it. The unfortunate thing is that instead of "buyer's remorse" I experienced rather severe "non- buyer's remorse," (I know that's probably not an actual term but I don't know what else to call it) where I will fall into somewhat of a depressed mood for days even weeks after not buying an item I wanted even if I couldn't afford it. You definitely have much more self control and shopping smarts than me, but I was wondering if you have ever had a feeling of "non-buyer's remorse" (obviously not as long lasting as mine I'm sure lol)? There are actually two impulse purchases that I made years ago that are probably my favorite wardrobe items. One item is a Cholé Drew Bijuo that I got a little over 50% off, as the design was a more "trendy" design but it actually turned into one of my favorite pieces, even though I originally only bought it because it was a Chloé purse and I didn't care what the design was I just wanted to be able to say I own a Chloé purse. And my favorite item in my wardrobe that I will never sell and probably be buried in (lol), is the first designer item I had ever purchased (also an impulse purchase) is a pair of pink Jimmy Choo Swarovski crystal embellished heels 😍 For awhile I was too afraid to wear them out, then after watching some of your videos talking about getting price per wear out of your items. I decided to start wearing them out and not let $600 go to waste. Now I wear them as often as I can and always get compliments on them which feels nice lol. So after rambling forever on your comment section 🤦🏻‍♀️ I just want to let you know that your videos are very informative and have helped me out... although your videos also do make me want to buy almost everything you own too, so it that sense they are not as helpful lol 🛍🙂

[@jordanac7041]

Your pink jumper is everything! Fabulous!

[@evelyngriggs8356]

Happy Birthday for yesterday, Josie! Love your fashion vlogs although I cannot purchase any of your suggestions. You do, however, guide my appearance thinking. I do sometimes think you are wrong in suggestiing that you select lifetime pieces. I have a wardrobe of lovely more expensive pieces but my lifestyle has changed as I have aged. Layering with tees and sweaters with black trousers or jeans does very nicely for my sewing clubs and classes....! 🤗

[@AmandaJohn]

"Ditch the deadweight" 😂🙌🏻

[@katedoesnature1967]

Solo shopping warriors unite!! Today's tea with Josie needed a bit of something stronger!! Fabulous tips Darling!! ❤️🎁🛒☕❄️🎄

[@nataschajaeger654]

Great video and I love the reminder about not overspending. My main tipp would be to remember that Black Friday is only one of many many sales in the year. Boxing day is just round the corner so this will by no means be the only opportunity to get a bargain.

[@mindsQuill]

I thought you were going to say you haven't made any impulse purchases.. but there you go! Because you said you haven't had any impulse purchase which have given you back the value for money! That was the lesson I am looking forward to hear from fashion influencers because I am quite careful when and what I get into my wardrobe but hell I love fashion 🤣 I dont buy things on impulse because if I do I end up regretting it in most of the cases! 🤣 Thanks for influencing people the pragmatic and practical way ❤️

[@jazmeen04]

I also thought that was what she was going to say, and I wouldn't have believed her. And yes thats a good lesson coming from someone that shops alot.

[@Zdlifestyle]

I’m loving all these videos Hun/ thank you x

[@taylorjohnson2633]

Love the budget tip!! I don’t feel like enough people talk about this, but so important! 💕

[@judithcatlett8518]

Excellent Black Friday tips. Shopping by yourself is the best. If you do go with friends everyone has a phone and you can decide on a meet up time.

[@raymondf3670]

I just love your Black Friday video so much good info so helpful .. Thanks for all of your hard work .. enjoy your channel

[@tracy6534]

Yay I’m currently getting back from a trip and was wondering what to do in the next six hours 😬 thank you for the awesome tips, can’t wait to Black Friday and now I’m prepared thanks to you! Love from Austria 💘

[@treeflan5682]

I always fill up my basket full of items that I consider to be necessities for my wardrobe from my favorite brands well before the sale starts. I didn't go through and see which ones I need the most then immediately delete all of the rest. The main thing I don't do is fall for " there are only two left!". if I go back to buy it and it's not there it was never meant to be mine to begin with 🤔😂. I do agree with Josie on ditching dead weight. She didn't bat an eye or even laugh I think she was really serious 😂😂🥰❣️

[@visualvellichor6273]

[@ohsobo]

1) make a list 2) don’t overspend, make a budget 3) coupon codes 4) online shop or arrive early in store, shop by yourself or divide and conquer 5) be prepared, map out where you want to go, make sure you’re comfortable, bring extra reusable bags 6) are you going to wear it at least 10x

[@sissim.7898]

[@catchapaperboy9463]

This year I don't have the time to really take advantage of black friday but I hope that I will have the chance next year and armed with your advices it should be fun! Nevertheless I'm keeping an eye on a Ted Baker handbag now for a while (Jaelynn in pale pink). Actually the plan was originally to buy it for myself on my birthday but lets see what Ted Baker has to offer around black friday, could be an early present depending on the discount. Besides of the bag, there are a necklace, ear rings and a ring on Missoma that look pretty good together. Thank you for the early access Missoma-link, I'm curious how that will turn out.

[@beastyboyBlue]

Jess great sound advice thank you 💗🌸💗🌸

[@dyuhas62]

I have a great tip for online shoppers. Before Black Friday- do it now- visit department stores and retailers and try on basic pieces from the brands you love. Write down the brand name and corresponding sizes (pants, tops, shoes). I keep a running list in my phone so I can look it up then order with confidence. And always look at the brand's size chart. If the online retailer doesn't have it, just google it before ordering, ie: "X-brand women's size chart."

[@AilynEvelyn]

WTF!!! How does she do it? she is a queen of editing videos and contents!!!! Woooow you are amazing!!! s2

[@JosieIrons]

- Ailyn - ah thank you!

[@annabelle7123]

Earlier sales, still more spending and larger earnings and profit for companies... O, herald the capitalism! Yes to no splurge/impulse spending. But I realized if I had a few things I wanted for days or weeks, first make a list of wants or needs (distinguish the two!) And also see what you recently got. It helps satisfying those unsatiated hunger for more shopping.

[@katelyndoherty9338]

Thanks for the tips Josie!

[@iamkeri_]

A good idea is to take a carry-on suitcase with you when going shopping in stores. Makes it sooooooo much easier to lug all your shopping around from store to store 😁no icky bag straps that dig in to your hands or break halfway through the day.

[@JosieIrons]

Kerishma Malik such a great idea! Although some stores in London don’t allow you to take big bags like that in!

[@snelkookrijst]

Thank you for sharing these tips, Josie! Arriving early is a great tip! Stores that basically exploded really take my appetite for shopping away 🤦🏼‍♀️

Amazing tips! Thank you for emphasising to be sustainable and not overspending. Greetings from Germany

[@Eliif2012]

Can you also do a list of all sustainable/ethical/fair brands and their discount codes (if they have any; I know that some brands don‘t do black friday but for me as a student, I think I would really benefit from something like this) xxx

[@simonejthompson9640]

Need to follow The Laura Blair she's absolutely fantastic and openly honest about the ads on her channel

[@737700flygirl]

Some useful advice in this video; however, I would say that 'get there early' gets taken way too far in the US especially and people can lose a sense of perspective. Of course the origin of Black Friday is that it's the day after Thanksgiving and some people cut their holiday short to camp out in front of stores in the middle of the night. Ultimately there are things more important than beating everyone else for X percent off.

[@JosieIrons]

Laura Groves oh that’s totally bonkers!!

[@EEN63]

My favorite tip was to not overspend! If you are going in debt to buy beloved friends and family gifts, if they truly have your best interest at heart, they would be mortified to know they were adding to your financial burden or contributing to financial distress from buying over your budget! Maybe rethink the gifts you plan to give. Perhaps give them a gift certificate for cooking them dinner, cleaning their house, walking their dogs, detailing their car, or watching their kids while they have a date night. Not every gesture of love and friendship has to come from a store! I’m sure the retailers won’t appreciate my suggestions, but going in debt or paying ridiculous interest rates on credit cards is just not smart or savvy financial management!

[@chiaracervo8441]

Hi Josie and thanks for your tips ☺️ do your discount codes work only for UK retailers? can we use them worldwide? I’m from Italy 😉

[@JosieIrons]

[@merediththompson1538]

This was a great vid, but I do disagree with your suggestion of using what, in North America, we call 'layaway', but I think you mentioned a specific app that I'm not familiar with. Isn't that just another form of debt?

First shopping mistake to avoid: to watch fashion KZbinrs who show big amounts of clothes and bags in there videos. Second: to not watch an anti haul, which shows you that you dont need new stuff to look good. ❤

[@miryamhaveman2894]

Are the discount codes you share only UK based? I wanted to place an order with River Island and I got redirected to the Dutch site. The discount code you shared on IG did not work. So sad about that. I cancelled my order and bough my favorite piece from an other online store that carries River Island that had already had a sale going on.
