One plastic plant in plastic pot
One pair of green kitchen scissors ,
One garlic grater
Two rattan mats ( small)
One rattan mat ( large)
Two spotty plates with elevated rims
One useless plastic box
On reflection I was somewhat reserved in my spending
that is a very reserved shopping list...... personally, i do not like ikea, and i won't go there..... but my s.o.h. loves it and often takes my mum...... they always buy a tonne of shit stuff...... usually boxes and boxes of biscuits as well
ReplyDeleteThe style of the furniture is wonderful
DeleteYour bank balance shouldn't suffer too much with that little lot!

DeleteIt's amazing how much crap we can buy in one store. At least you didn't come home with a couple of wardrobes! xx
ReplyDeleteI was very restrained
DeleteYour Swedish meatball meal is different than here. We get mashed potatoes with our gravy...and where is your lingonberry jam?
ReplyDeleteYou were very sensible. I do love that store, but our nearest one is 2 hours away. I love their wooden kitchen utensils.
They also did a hot dog with mashed potatoes ( inside the dog)
DeleteHow fun! Love IKEA tho it's a long drive. Two servings of he meatballs? They do look---interesting.
ReplyDeleteCan you add pics of what you bought, I can't imagine spotted plates? And what are rattan mats for?
The larger mat is now proudly in front of the fire , the little ones are foot wipes from the front door.
DeleteI will post photos tomorrow
DeleteIkea is like Costco, dangerous to go to because you so often leave with things you don't need:)
ReplyDeleteI need all of my items ( yeah right)
DeleteThat is restrained spending! Hope you find uses for your several purchases. I sometimes like IKEA fabrics but never ever buy their furniture as their wood is too new to be lasting. Old growth wood and furniture lasts forever ... baring fire, of course.
ReplyDeleteDid the family like their share of the meatballs?!
Hugs!
My sister Janet came with me , we both bought similar items including the meatballs
DeleteWhat a nice outing for the two of you!
DeleteThe nearest IKEA to us is nearly 2 hours away and we've inherited all the furniture we're likely to ever need.
Hugs!
I have a dear friend who is not allowed in IKEA without adult supervision, she had to rent a truck to haul it all home the last time she went alone. I love the place.
ReplyDeleteHe last time I went to Warrington , I aimed to buy a rug and left with a sofa
DeleteApart from the meatballs and chips, and the fun of wandering the store, was it worth the drive? Can we have a picture of your purchases? I have a long list of stuff I need to get from IKEA, don’t you just love the place. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteMy best purchase was a jug ( from the store opposite to Ikea)
DeleteI always windup buying the frozen meatball meal combo. My sons seem to know when they are in the freezer and just happen to appear for supper.
ReplyDeleteYes, you did well, John! IKEA can be a veritable den of temptation.
ReplyDeleteIKEA is two hours drive from here, so I'm not tempted. But I have several Allen wrenches.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day for you and your sister. I think the most expensive thing I have purchased at IKEA was a butcher block countertop. It was fantastic - highly recommend!
