IKEA Shopping Hacks: Some people say that IKEA is a place for excitement, but to some, it is tiring. These wide pavements lead to rows and rows of stylish furniture and various colorful accessories that may excite you enough to burn hours of your time and a few bucks from your wallet. Whether new to an apartment or just going browsing to get ideas, some planning can make that trip a little less costly, shorter, and more pleasant. These useful tips on shopping at IKEA are aimed at making that a smart shopping excursion, with avoiding impulse buys as well as enjoying the visit.
Upon entering IKEA, get a store map. It is your best friend for navigating the maze-like layout. IKEA stores are planned to lead you through every section, and you can forget time and become dizzy from all the places you have been. Map helps you know how you want to route yourself and which parts you really want to skip, saving time and energy.
Rather than jumping from the cafeteria into the purchasing frenzy, stop first at the cafeteria. You can even pop in for some of their yummy cheesecake with coffee and not even have to sit down for a full meal-in fact, not eating can make you buy more than you need while shopping. A small snack fills you up nicely and keeps your head clear and therefore more intelligent at the buying phase.
Go directly to the marketplace floor-catered mostly to the actual shopping crap, because if you don’t do this, you mainly end up lost with those upstairs showrooms. Get a trolley and one of those big yellow bags. It’s almost all there-your home decor, kitchenware, and what have you, without you having to get lost in the showrooms above.
Follow the arrow projections on the floor and use them to stay on track, but don’t hesitate to skip sections that are of no interest to you. Use your map to cuts and breezes through the store.
Before heading to checkout take a look at your cart. This small stuff like the ₹99 salt shakers and ₹49 photo frames really add up fast, so taking them out of your cart not only would be cutting expenses, surprise at how much you’d save.
If it’s all in your yellow bag then go for self-checkout. It’s faster. Lastly, when parking, pick a spot nearer the exit than to the entrance. It will be way easier to load your purchase-normally heavy, or you even might have a flatbed trolley.
