Ninja Ikea Sales Secrets
Miss the Sales and You Miss The Bargains !
Ikea annually holds a HUGE Discount sale at each of their UK Stores both to clear their stocks and to attract new customers. This often happens during Bank Holidays or other public holidays.

Ikea regularly brings in new models of furniture and to make space for these they sell off stock which has not sold quite as well or stocks that have been replace by new models. This happens in all sections of each store. They also give away bits and pieces to add to the fun of the sale.
Ikea is basically offering low prices on most of their furniture anyway so additional discounts are more than welcome to anyone setting up or refurbishing their home.
You will often see in the Ikea Sale specific items for children (Ikea are well aware of the power of the demands of a child ! )

How can you benefit best from an Ikea Sale ?
First thing is to go around all of the store a week or so before the sale with a notebook and a good pen (those pencils are really not good enough for what you want to do !) and make your own notes of items that just might be of interest to you at the right price.
A really great idea is to go online and make a hit list from there (remembering that many items will sell out quickly during the sale.
This way at least you know just what you are looking for and not just peering around through the crowds and confusion.
An Ikea Sale draws MANY people and you really just HAVE to be there early to get the best bargains. Congestion is not just an idea during the sale – it is an astounding collation of people and traffic.
Do not go to the sale alone – first of all you may need someone to guard your purchases while you get your car (better still borrow or rent a Transit or larger Van for the day).Secondly you may well need two people to load larger items into the car/van.
The people around you will all be trying to get their purchases into their cars too.
Park your car as near to the loading zone as you can at least an hour and a half before the store opens. (You will not be alone !)
Lets be honest about this – an IKEA Store is a massive impulse buy store.
Everyone that goes in comes out with more than they intended.
Make sure you get what you really want FIRST !
Then go round again and shop for unexpected bargains.
It is almost certainly NOT a great idea to go to Ikea during the sale and try to plan your kitchen there and then. That way madness lies – you need peace and quiet to plan a kitchen properly and perhaps advice from a salesperson too – which may not be available during the sale. PLAN before you go for best results.
