IKEA is known for low prices and DIY furniture, but could your purchasing method be hurting your wallet? Let's just say, if you're looking for an excuse to go get Swedish meatballs, you're welcome. While the hygge-channeling retailer claims that online and in-store prices are typically equal, it's ultimately up to local warehouses to decide on specific deals or unsold furniture markdowns that could have you missing out when shopping online. When you also factor in their hefty delivery fees and lack of free shipping, making a trip to the store could be a lot cheaper overall compared to ordering through the website, whether you're a member or not. You can get in-home assembly, but the price can vary depending on the service used.
