A woman has raved about a $3 product from Temu that solves a common car issue, calling it the “best money she has ever spent”.
Nicole took to TikTok to share a clip of her bargain purchase from the online marketplace – a tiny squeegee for her car side mirrors.
In the video, she shows her frosted-over side mirrors from the driver’s seat, extending the $3 device and quickly clearing the mirror so that she has complete visibility.
“Best $3 I’ve ever spent,” she declares.
Other social media users were equally impressed with the handy little device.
“This is revolutionary,” one social media user commented.
Another said: “OMG I need to get one of these.”
“I got one of these. Best thing ever,” another happy customer declared.
Fellow social media user Alexandra posted a very similar clip raving about the gadget. This time, the video featured the popular song Car Wash playing while she cleared the side mirrors.
“If you haven’t got one, you need one,” she said.
Kmart also stocks a car side mirror squeegee, which sets back customers $5, and Amazon also stocks similar products.
It’s not the first time a cheaper item has been used to solve a routine car problem, with a woman keeping a $2 pair of tongs from Kmart in her car.
The social media user, who goes by @asian.barbie on TikTok, said whenever someone new jumps in her car they ask about the Kmart item.
“Great question, I have an even better answer,” the young woman explained, saying she wasn’t the best driver.
“But you know when you come up to those boom gates at the car park and they’ve got a little ticket machine?
“I can never get close enough so I just whip out my handy dandy tongs.”
The driver explained she uses the tongs to grab the ticket with ease, revealing that if there is someone behind her waiting she always checks the review mirror and catches them laughing.
The driver said she’d rather be the “weirdo with the tongs who is low-key kinda smart” than the person struggling to get a ticket who holds up the line behind her.
Social media users had a strong reaction to the hilarious hack.
“I always have to put my car in park, take off my belt and lean out the window or open the door,” one person complained.
Another commented: “As someone who’s short, this is genius.”
