Temu

Why it worked

The video taps into the popular trend of "Temu hauls" and the curiosity surrounding the platform's affordability, while the creator's genuine reactions to the items, both positive and negative, create relatable and engaging content.

Summary

The creator unboxes a large haul of items purchased from Temu, totaling around $400. While some items like the curtains and a floral wall art are well-received, others like the throw pillow inserts and a butterfly print are not what she expected. Despite some disappointments, she seems generally satisfied with the value for money.

Did I just waste hundreds of dollars on Temu? Oh, I'm Beth and I'm redoing my living room on a budget. And when I broke, I go to Temu and I spent like $400 on Temu and I'm hoping that I didn't get ripped off and that I actually got my money's worth. I have a giant unboxing and I'm going to try to do it really fast so that I can get it all in one part and you can see everything that I got. I'm so excited. I'm so excited. Are my pillows? I literally have one singular throw pillow and I bought a bunch of inserts for. For. Oh no. It's styrofoam. Oh. You know, I thought this was going to be bigger, but it's still really cute. Getting packages and opening them literally makes me so happy. It's insane. That's kind of sad. The curtain rods. The quality be. Gold ones. Oh! My floating shelves. I have, like, a corner area. I wanted these for like the corner of my room. I feel like they'll look cool. That's cute. Literally $8. Big. Look, package. Oh, what is this? World. Sauce. Black. Don't touched it on accident. But nasty. Interesting. You know, I don't know if you can tell that's not actually a frame around it. It's like, printed. Oh, beautiful. Curtains. I got a lot of curtains. Oh, pretty. That's pretty. I love that. That's cute. This is my favorite. That's everything that I got including, um, $150 rug that I have upstairs. Let me know if you think that's worth $400. I'm considering. I'm wondering if it actually was. HA. Some of the things are not what I was expecting. But so. So. Watching. Thanks for watching.
