IkeAAAAA

After having spend Saturday in Monaco at a gala, Sunday should be used for something less business minded, something! So, what about a visit to Ikea? Excellent idea! Only 1 hour and a half the motorway, in full sale galore and not yet sure what is needed to buy. Indeed this sounds like a great idea, however there is one bonus at Ikea and these come in round shapes; Swedish meatballs.
Arriving at 12.30 I felt victim to the first product that was displayed, a pillow that will make dreams come through, I will have two than.

Moving on, it is always clear that you are in Ikea. The names of the products are produced by a mad Swedish scientist and everything seem to be useful but deciding what to buy is always the hardest. The number of people in the shop was actually not to bad considering the Sales period but looking at the prices, the sales are not really that obvious. After one hour, the line to join was the one to Meatball Country! Being not the only one, it took a little bit more time that my stomach wanted but the result was there; 10 meatballs with jam and sauce MMMMMMM.
It is really amazing that they still manage to keep those prices so low and the staff is always helpful and friendly. In addition to that the majority of the products are BIO products and the recycle a as much as possible. (even the residu of coffee is re-used)

The funny thing with Ikea is that the quality is not that great but the design is often Fun, Original and Useful and the price is of course fairly low. The Purchasing Law at Ikea is simple, you pick a variety of orginal designed articles and add this to other real designer items that you purchase online and the two together makes a perfect match.

However when the announced that the store would be closing in 25 minutes, I realized that it was already 19.00 and I was still not decided on many things.
A simple Sunday of Ikea shopping is serious business and it looks like it will not the last time, any excuse will do to have another plate of Swedish Meatball !
