Bargain Items Tried and Tested
Attention, fellow shoppers! While Temu might seem as intimidating as finding a needle in a haystack, fear not! In my adventures navigating its virtual aisles, I’ve discovered that the positives outweigh the negatives—kind of like finding a sale on a Monday morning! So, if you’re like me and enjoy a good bargain please dive right in! Temu might just become your new retail therapy haven!
I think I can call myself a super regular Temu shopper and not ashamed of it! Check out the products I’ve bought, tried and the ultimate outcome of love or pissed off!!
I’m all for a bargain literally and very tight with my monies🤣! Who wouldn’t be in this bloody overwhelming cost of living. Can’t afford the little luxuries of life, take for instance getting my nails done in sexy gel, so why not try it myself!

Here are my takes on the products bought. You would definitely be surprised, I was surprised too!
The shipping is superb, it takes 12 days to arrive, and if they are even a day late, you get £5 in your Temu wallet, and if it doesn’t arrive at all after the 15-day stipulation, you get a full refund immediately.

Memory Foam U-shaped Travel Pillow
Went on a trip and thought this would be ideal for the long haul. And it delivered! I slept peacefully and woke up with no neck pain. So a big thumbs up from my end.
£4.98

This was not a waste of my pennies!! I just hook it over the tray and had the best foot support and wiggling room for comfort and a good rest 😎 Plus its’ compact and took no space at all in my bag.

I love this so much! It wasnt flashy but very demure and elegant. Got a lot of compliments and it was indeed a big bargain. This chic earrings will be treasured always ♥

4pcs Travel Data Cable Collection Buckle
I need to have a system with my wires while traveling so thought this would be a good idea to keep them in check. They were ok but the wires kept slipping off from the opening.
£1.68
Women's Plus Colorblock Geometric Print Long Sleeve V Neck Slight Stretch Maxi Dress
I love this dress! I usally am a size UK16 but I love the loose type of dress so ordered one up UK18. It was really gorgeous and loose fitting but way to long. With myy height of 5.5in the hem reaches my ankles. So a little diy was needed! I reduced the hem manually and voila everything was good👯♀️ When I purchase this it was at £11.60 but has since increased.
£14.01
Women's Faux Leather Crossbody Bag With Wide Strap
This is by far the best buy ever! Bought it in Sept 2023 and I still use it till today, everyday!! It is so spacious, fits my bulky purse, passport, boarding pass, my print-out tickets (I know..pls don’t judge, I’m just old school🤣), plus all my bits and bobs. Unfortunately price has gone up since I bought last at £4.08.
£6.62
Mini Plush Round Coin Purse with Hanging Ring
Cute little thing and very handy 💓 Got the black one and just hanged it onto my bag’s buckle. Easy access for coins when you’re yearning for a coffee kick!! The price has actually gone down from when I bought it so grab the bargain!
£1.19
4pcs Travel Data Cable Collection Buckle
I needed these for my aching fingers and wrist, you know, being a keyboard warrior and all 😜 Well, it did not disappoint. Helped me a lot through the winter. I’ve read its good for Arthritis too so more thumbs up for this! Grab this bargain because the price has gone down very drastically!
£1.68
1pc Solid Color Non-slip Removable Scratch Resistant Washable And Elastic Sofa Cover
Here is me thinking this was a very good idea to spruce up an old 3 seater sofa in my son’s room. Naaaah a huge thumbs down! It was a battle to keep it in place, you push one side and the other side pops out 😫 Maybe others might have had a good go at it who knows. But good thing with Temu is that they refunded immediately.
£11.38
Men's Hiking Outdoor Low Top Shoes
Best buy literally!! So well made and sturdy and comfortable, my son loves it! He’s been out and about with it for months and it’s still in pristine condition. Very important to check the size chart. I measured my son’s feet length which comes to 25.5inches and just to get him more wiggle room, ordered the UK7.5. Unfortunately, price has gone up since I bought it last for £8.79.
£11.29
Men's Christmas Hoodie
I know its not that time yet, but had to put this in!
Surprisingly very well made and the material is superb, better than the normal hoodie we get out there seriously! Always check the size chart. My boy is a bit on the larger size and wears UK XL, so got him a one up size XXL and it fits him perfectly, he got glowing compliments during the Christmas party 🎊 It would still fit him for this year’s Christmas too and maybe even the next 😁 Price has come down so grab it for 2024 Christmas!!
£9.27
Plus Size Christmas Casual Dress
Well I needed something too to boost my Christmas mood 😂 Absolutely love it! I all for the oversize feel so got one bigger at 1XL(18)UK. It was simple yet classy and it has pockets!! It went down a treat with my combat boots😜
Unfortunately price has gone up since I bought it for £11.99.
£14.99
Stainless Steel Semi-automatic Egg Whisk
I needed this and it bloody hell did not disappoint. Got the set of 1 Large and 1 Medium for £3.78 and they are a pleasure to use!!
Unfortunately price has gone up. But it is a whisk at the kitchen so well worth it 😋
(Price below is of a 1 Large+1 Medium)
£5.48
Air Fryer Magnetic Cooking Reference Chart
Saw this on TikTok and being a newbie to an Air Fryer, this is most ideal chart on how to cook different meats and veg, the temperature, cooking time, and frozen or chilled. I didn’t have to use google anymore😁
Just stick it to the fridge and that’s it, your ready cook guide at your fingertips. Price has come down a bit so good news all round!
£1.16
Air Fryer Paper Liners Non-stick Disposable Oil-Proof Waterproof
These are a must if you own an Air Fryer. Use and throw convenient, keeps the pot clean and grease-free. When you pre-heat the Air Fryer, do not put these in (silly me!) to heat 🤣 but put them with the ingredient when its ready to be cooked. I do find them a bit too flimsy but what do I know, I’m just a newbie trying to fit in the modern world of Air Fryer.
Price has gone up a bit from when I got them for £2.18.
£2.87
Double Breasted Lapel Coat, Casual Long Sleeve Fall & Winter Outerwear
I liked the look of this oversized coat so badly that I risked it all and bought it! I was very sceptical, just like you would. It was beautiful and stunning but being an ocd maniac, I found the shoulder hem (the one that connects the body with the arms) protruding and sticking out and actually made my already big size look like hulk with biceps! So disappointed because everything else was fantastic. I had to return it and Temu has refunded my money.
My coat size is usually UK 14, so I took a L (12/14)UK and it was still quite big, I bet it would even fit a UK18. Looks like the price has come down a few pounds.
£38.69
Alrighty, folks! Time to give my poor, beleaguered fingers a breather. Stay tuned for more updates as the sands of time continue to trickle and the sun stubbornly refuses to call it a day. Let’s cross our fingers and hope we don’t wake up tomorrow in the midst of a surprise war, suddenly drafted into a battle we never signed up for. 🤞✌️
