‘Must haves for 2024’ gushes bargain hunter as she shows off Temu haul full of household essentials – and they’re all £1
A SAVVY mum has shared her “must-haves for 2024” after doing a huge Temu haul full of £1 buys.
Eilidh Wells, from Glasgow, regularly shares her shopping hauls and tips on social media (@eilidhwells).
In a recent video, the mum showed off her top picks from Temu – the UK’s most downloaded app this year, pronounced tee-moo.
Every item cost around £1, with some prices slashed in a 94% off sale.
Eilidh said: “Here’s some of my Temu must-haves for 2024.
“For the kitchen, I love this storage box [reduced from £14.99 to 64p].
“It’s sectioned so you can put in fruit, crisps, snacks, whatever. Perfect for a family with kids.”
The bargain-hunting mum also bagged a pack of 20 disposable air fryer liners and a space-saving multi hole clothes hanger, both £1.58.
And she picked up a £24.49 portable USB mini food processor for £1.24.
“I love this, this would be a great one for taking on holiday”, she said.
But it was the cleaning products that Eilidh seemed most impressed by.
“I love Temu for their cleaning brushes”, she said.
“These [£1.58 ones] are the heavy duty ones, they’re really good for cleaning your oven or your air fryer.
“And this is a soft one that I use for cleaning our bathroom.
“The handle on it just makes it so much easier to use.”
She added: “Another essential for cleaning the bathroom is this
[99p] plug in sinkhole unblocker.
“Everyone should have one of these.
“And to stop your plug holes getting blocked in the first place, you want to get this [89p] drain hair catcher which you can place in your bath or shower.”
Eilidh also picked up a mop and bucket set reduced from £27.29 to £1.55.
Founded in September 2022 by Chinese e-commerce giant PDD Holdings, Temu advertises itself as an online marketplace connecting consumers with millions of sellers and brands, with “the mission to empower them to live their best lives”.
Despite shrewd marketing and rock-bottom prices, the site has been dogged by negative reviews, claims of undelivered parcels, poor customer service and allegations of an “extremely high risk” of forced labour.
On TrustPilot, the app scores a fairly reasonable 3.5 stars out of five — but 31 per cent of users give it just one.
Following a Fabulous investigation, some critics are questioning if Temu — which means Team Up, Price Down — could, in fact, be toxic.
Temu did not respond to our request for comment at the time of the investigation.
