Ikea, oh how you tease me! You lure me in with your low prices and boundless options, and yet I always leave with a $300+ receipt burning a hole in my pocket.
Whyyy (I cry with one arm waiving in despair)???

The sad part is that I have not even gone yet, but I know I am in for spending a good chunk of change.
Joey is going back for a quick visit to Chi-town without me (single tear), and I am planning my trip to Ikea while he is gone. I have to be strategic when scheduling my Ikea days so he is out of town or on call at the hospital because he gets the severe sweats when we go there. Something about how I have the the attention span of a squirrel and I run around like a mad woman throwing everything I can reach into our cart. Whatevsies...

So I thought I would actually use the shopping list function on the website to plan what I am looking for. Chances I will stick to this list? Slim to none. But at least I tried:)

That totals to just over $200 and those are just the items that I have to get much less what catches my eye while I'm there.
Ouch- that's going to make a dent in my budget- good thing the hubs is not here and I can claim I was shopping to kill my loneliness :)
Anyone else's significant other dread Ikea days as much as my hubs? I can't even imagine what its like if you have kids in tow- oy vey!

Ian hates Ikea! It's always so crowded, and making your way through that maze to find the exit can be SO overwhelming. I prefer going solo :)
ReplyDeleteBen had a full on panic attack the first (and last) time we have ever been to Ikea together. I loved it!!
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY way I can get Joey to go is he goes hungry and he gets those swedish meatballs-nasty!
