Here’s Five Fast Facts on how to save big at IKEA:
- 🎁 Better Than a Jello Mold - New to the neighborhood? Recent movers are entitled to a $25 coupon off an in-store IKEA purchase of $250 or more. All you need to do is sign up for IKEA's New Mover program.
- 💳 Stay Loyal - Did you know IKEA has a loyalty program? Signing up could save you the big bucks. It's free to join and members get access to benefits like 90-day price protection on purchases and delivery discounts. You can also shop exclusive members-only sales.
- 🛋️ Out with the Old - If you have used IKEA furniture, turn it in to get some sweet rewards. IKEA's Buy Back & Resell program will give you store credit for your old furniture. The best part? You can leave it assembled! A team member will take a look at your items to assess their value and let you know how much it's worth.
- 🛏️ Second Hand Treasures - What does IKEA do with the used furniture it buys back? Yup, you guessed it - they sell it. In certain stores, there will be a special section where you can browse and purchase used furniture. You can also browse available used furniture on the IKEA website. How's that for shopping smart?
- 🗒️ Stick to the Plan - Don't get sucked into the IKEA labyrinth and buy stuff you don't need. Plan ahead instead! Look up prices on the IKEA website and make a list of exactly what you need before heading inside. If you stick to it, perhaps reward yourself with a Swedish meatball or two.
