Shopping at IKEA is a guilty pleasure most of us won’t normally ’fess up to. If you're a homeowner – or lived in a house in Singapore – then you'll understand how this Swedish furniture giant is integral in your life. The affordable prices and stylish designs make it easy for anyone to spruce up their home. Switch your dusty, tired curtains with some new, brightly coloured ones. Change your floral cushion covers to striped ones – for that mod hipster look – and get some colour (and cheer) into your home, just because you feel like it.
Nothing beats a hot dog and soda after a long day spent hunting for the perfect garbage can – grab them at the Ikea food stand after checking out. Also: don’t miss the Swedish meatballs for sale, both hot and frozen. A kilogram of frozen ’balls goes for $18 – some might call that ‘overpriced’, but we say those delicious little buggers are priceless. Meatballs with pasta sauce, meatballs on toast, meatballs in the morning… mmmm.
