Savvy shoppers have discovered ways to save even more money on their bargains, and they’re sharing those tips and tricks online. These shopping tricks can save you a huge amount of money on the site, not to mention referrals and affiliate links that save even more over time.

YouTuber Lylo Crafts shares a great way to get money back through the Temu app. “Temu makes it so easy,” she says. “If a price adjustment is available—meaning that the item has been advertised at a lower price for the past 30 days—you can request a price adjustment.” Temu then refunds the difference back to you.

YouTuber Rascal Reviews has a great tip for saving money on Temu. On the front page, where they show announcements, scroll down to the gift box. “This will give you something anywhere from discounts on certain items all the way to actual in-store credit,” he says.
Referral Code

Rascal Reviews says if you use someone’s referral code on Temu, you get a coupon pack from the company. The coupons are usually percentages off certain amounts when you spend money on the site. “That’s another great way to save money,” he says.
Returns and Refunds

If you order something as it’s not as advertised, Temu will issue a full refund, Rascal Reviews says. Even if you change your mind about the item, a lot of the time you won’t have to return it. Many other Temu shoppers say the same thing about Temu’s generous return policy.
Cheap Materials

YouTuber Makers Gonna Learn suggests buying the cheapest version of what you need for design projects so you can practice before getting the good version—for example, wood rounds for decorating. “This is super helpful for those of you who want to make samples,” she says.
If You Love It, Buy It

Makers Gonna Learn says if you see something for a great price—buy it! Temu doesn’t carry endless amounts of the same items so you might miss out by holding back. “Things are selling out a lot quicker, which in turn makes the price go up more,” she says.
Affiliate Program

You don’t need to be an influencer to take advantage of Temu’s affiliate program, Makers Gonna Learn advises. “They make it very easy for you to share a link, and in return you get a $5 download reward per every person that downloads and logs in using your affiliate link,” she says. “You’re also going to get a $20 commission per order when they use that link.” That definitely adds up!
