Temu Shopping App Tier List

August 13, 2023 Guides

Temu is designed to be an app to swirl you into a mystical shopping frenzy. There’s so much to pick from and a lot of fatigue when it comes to finding just what Temu is good for. That’s why we’ve put together a list of items, into various tiers, of what’s worthwhile to turn to Temu for and what’s not. Our S Tier is items that are well worth it and likely much less than other retailers (when there is no shipping fees). Meanwhile, lower tiers are items you may not even want to deal with at all on the site. One of the fun things about Temu is that it’s loaded with neat little mini-games like “hat trick” and “fishland” but none of these games actually pay out the reward (the free item) without inviting multiple users to the app. So probably the best advice you’ll get is to…

July 18, 2021 Guides

If you have fond memories of the good ‘ol days of games from bygone eras then you may want to consider buying games now instead of later, no matter which day you read this. The reason being that physical game media is becoming more rare by the day as games break, get thrown out and are lost to the fates of time. The prices of which are increasing, especially as older games which used cardboard for their cases begin to decay from moisture and age.

February 25, 2019 Editorials

So the other day I came across some frosted circus animal cookies, and instantly I was back in another time and place. I said out loud how they reminded me of Super Mario 64 since I would always eat them while playing that game. Funny enough, my brother agreed with me, saying he thought the same thing. Isn’t it crazy how that works? The human mind is truly incredible, and I started thinking of what other games I associatewith certain foods. Strangely enough, I associate these barbeque chips with Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes and know that the first time I cranked up Modern Warfare 2, I was eating pretzels. I’ll also hear certain songs that I would jam to during my MW2 online matches, and I instantly think of the game. Does anyone else feel like this, or is it just me? The thing that blows me away is that…
