Three things move the final number on a Temu order: when you buy, how much you buy at once, and what your account is currently eligible for. Coupons are the fourth, and usually the smallest of the four.
Account state beats everything
A brand new account has access to the largest offers it will ever see. If you have never ordered, do not waste that on a small test purchase — put your real first order through it. If you have lapsed for a while, check your wallet before ordering, because win-back credits are often sitting there unused.
Cart size, not frequency
Threshold coupons and shipping economics both reward consolidation. Four separate small orders across a month will almost always cost more than one combined order, because each one falls under every threshold. Keep a list and buy in batches.
Month and week
January and November are the strongest months for different reasons — clearance versus depth. Within a month, the start of a promotional window has better stock than the end. Day of the week makes little reliable difference, despite what you will read.

The combination that wins
One consolidated order, placed in a strong month, on an account with an unclaimed offer, with a live code checked at the promo field. That is most of the available saving, and none of it requires daily code hunting.
FAQ
Is there a best day of the week to order?
Not reliably. Month and cart size have far more effect than weekday.
Should I wait for a sale to place a big order?
If the items are not urgent, yes — a promotional window plus a threshold coupon is the strongest combination.
