Amazon has been the online go-to for all household needs, but the retail giant faces serious competition from Temu, especially when it comes to retirees. The Chinese e-commerce site is attracting a lot of seniors who have become loyal shoppers thanks to the heavily discounted prices. Case in point: Boomers use the Temu app to shop twice as much as Gen Z, according to a study by Chicago research firm Attain.Â
Shopping on Temu is almost like Black Friday every day, because the prices are so great, but there will be further discounted items at the official start of the sale on Nov. 29. While early deals are happening now on Temu to take advantage of, here are five items retirees might consider buying on Black Friday, when more stock goes on sale.
