Our guide to budget-friendly shopping on Temu

Temu’s online shopping platform has skyrocketed in popularity due to its major discounts on clothes, electronics, and everything in between. We’ll give you the scoop on the app that’s been topping the app charts, plus tips on how to make the most of your shopping experience.

Temu’s motto – team up, price down – refers to their process of sourcing items directly from factories and suppliers to sell goods at wholesale prices. You’ll see daily deals and steep discounts on everything from smart watches to pajamas. Add favorites to your cart and order them directly to your door.

Since Temu products are shipped from China, depending on where you’re ordering from, some purchases may take longer to arrive. Though the app offers a credit for items that are delivered late, take potential delays into account if you need your item quickly or are shopping for gifts.

New users can order items up to $100 in value at no cost when they refer friends, and frequent coupons help you slash already-low prices. We also love Temu’s hyper-specific shopping filters, which allow you to narrow down products by occasion, material, style, and more to find exactly what you’re looking for.
