    Everything I’ve seen on Temu is very cheaply made. The things I have purchased have been my lowest expectation of that product. It’s good for things like signs, stickers, and crafting products.

    Have you ever bought something from Amazon and thought you paid way too much for something that clearly came straight from China? If you look on Temu for the same product with a similar description you’ll usually find it for at least half the cost.

    Try used bike sites where there are individuals owners trying to sell their old bikes. You might have some luck there finding something.
















  • I learned some real basic stuff growing up in the home and in home-ec such as making a cake or cookies, hamburger helper or Mac and cheese. These teach real basic cooking skills which are needed for any recipe. Things like learning what a cup or teaspoon is and following directions.

    I didn’t know much coming out of high school but I learned a lot from watching a lot of food network and just trying recipes that looked good. Take it slow and try relatively easy recipes like maybe a casserole or making an omlette. Watch videos on how do things if they are confusing. No matter how long you’ve been cooking there will always be more to learn. I recently tried making biscuits instead of buying the ones in a can and that was tough for me to understand but I watched some videos and after a couple tries I got it mostly figured out. Don’t be afraid to ask people questions too about anything specific.

    Crock pot meals are great to try as well. A crock pot is a good investment but you can probably buy one at a garage sale or a thrift store. Hell, ask someone in the family or a friend if they have one laying around they don’t want anymore.

    Good Eats is also a wonderful show I enjoyed on food network. That show will show you the ins and outs of many subjects and explain the why. I think you might enjoy it. I think they have the old episodes on their site for free.
