I went to IKEA today to help my parents shop for their house, and we found some really good deals.
For myself, I bought a floor lamp, with an attached mini lamp for reading, for only $14.99. All of their lamps are really inexpensive.
My parents got a nice floor rug to put in their living room for only $19.99. It's a nice accent rug that will go well with their new furniture, and it was super cheap compared to other rugs out there. Of course, the rug they bought might not last as long as another more expensive rug, but by the time it's worn out, they'll probably be tired of it anyway. Then they don't have to feel bad about giving it away.
My parents also got a cute little "night stand" which they will actually put in the living room. It will look nice there, and it only cost $49.99.
Together we spent over $250, but we had a coupon that saved us $25 on any purchase over $250. That's a 10% savings. All in all, we spent a lot, but also saved a lot, so we did pretty well.

I've heard from people who have purchased IKEA in the past that their stuff isn't just inexpensive, it's cheap, meaning it's made of inferior materials and don't last long at all.
That's true Jennifer, I've heard that too. But if you inspect the item out before you buy it, you should be able to tell if it's good quality. For small items, they are pretty reliable, I've never had any problems with their stuff.
I like IKEA *:) - - nice post*
Blessings.
