anyone else fighting off a Temu addiction? I only recently started using the app. Been keeping tabs on my spending vs free shit I'm getting. I've kept it pretty under control so far.
Spent $170, got $200 in credits. My plan is to max out all the freebies and then stop using the app entirely as it's annoying AF with multiple daily notifications trying to get you to spend nonstop. I can see how people with less discipline could easily get hooked on this app and continuously buy shit they don't need because it seems like a good deal.

To be fair, majority of the shit on Amazon is from China to begin with and often times with huge markups so that "businesses" can profit off of it (see Americans).
I'm pretty happy with what I've bought so far. In particular, a picked up a cordless polisher (adjustable speed) for $50. It includes 10 pads, 2 micro fiber cloths, sanding pads, 2 batteries, an apron (not sure why I'd need this) and a carrying case. As long as this thing lasts a few years it's a solid purchase.

Taobao is cool because you can get the cheapest stuff possible, or the best quality available, and everything in between. It's all about deciding when it's worth to go up in quality. If you want to do that, it's most likely there. And still a million times cheaper than buying on Amazon or whatever 
And everything on aliexpress is on taobao (I think it's the same company?) but 1/2 or 2/3 the price

i had another weird experience today where i was getting shawarma and these arab girls with headscarves came up to me and ask if they can take pictures of the car.
What's with arab girls and this ratrolla? Did Toyota fund their local jihads or something?

I got this electric mousetrap on Amazon: 
Thing is the final solution for rodents. Completely destroyed the local mice population. I kind of miss hearing them skitter then leap at night.

I haven't checked out taobao yet, back in the day I used dealextreme a bunch and now AliExpress. I've never looked at Temu, all their ads made them look like it'd be overpriced junk like Amazon.

i never ever ever buy shoes. You can have ripped seams, but you can't have your air max bottom / soles fly out. I was poor once LOL. I stil see girls with 6 inch platform falling off.
backpacks are hit and a miss, the biggest thing are zippers which are definitely not YKK.
Weekend trips are fine but when i'm going on a euro trip, i ain't cheaping out on backpacks.

The ocean colors tend to look like that when you're near a glacier river feeding into the ocean itself.
I love boating out into that area for a good swim, definitely cold though.

In Bamfield/Barkley sound. Apparently it's a type of phytoplankton that's in bloom which causes the color.
