I recently did some early Christmas shopping with friends at IKEA. My group arrived at IKEA before the merchandise floors were open, but IKEA's restaurant was open. I had a delicious cinnamon roll with a cup of coffee, with the coffee being free until 10:00 a.m. I noticed that IKEA's restaurant had some good healthy choices and the food prices were all ridiculously low. What a great way to start off this holiday shopping excursion.
I was confused about how to get between three floors with my large shopping cart until one of the IKEA staff showed me the cart escalator that moves between floors right next to the "people escalator". I put my cart on the escalator and held my breath, hoping it would stay upright - which it did!
The selection and variety IKEA offers for furniture and supplies for home and office is nothing short of amazing. There were even some toys, indoor plants, pet supplies, and packaged foods that made great Christmas and holiday gifts.
IKEA furniture is so inexpensive that I expected it to be flimsy or shaky, but everything I sat on or tried to shake was solid. Read more about IKEA and see how you can save money on Christmas shopping this year.
