SALE! (?)
You might have seen the ads on tv. Currently the Summer Sale is going on at IKEA, but I can’t determine if West Chester is doing the sale or not (lazy me hasn’t driven by in a couple days), so call first if you are traveling. I’m hoping one of my IKEA West Chester coworker readers will chime in to tell me for sure. You all know the secret handshake.
The Summer Sale is one of the few yearly sales they have. I don’t think it’s quite the blowout that the Winter Sale is but you still can get some major deals with “select products” up to 60% off. That is nothing to sneeze at!
Since the new catalogs come out soon, often they use these two sales to clear out that will be discontinued in the next catalog. If you see something you want that is marked down, get it. No really. Not kidding.
How to tell a price sign from a sale sign (know if it is marked down to disappear forever):
They usually are two kinds of signs, a white sign with yellow squares and black prices, and all yellow signs with red prices. These yellow ones are tell you that this is a markdown to move out, most likely forever. Yellow + red = green.
If you think in the future you will want three of that unbelievably marked down bookcase, get them now if you can. Seriously, they will likely not be there again and you will live in a constant state of remorse.
They do this again in starting the day after Xmas for about two weeks, and that was when I made my yearly pilgrimage to Detroit or Shaumberg. Deals, deals, deals! The winter one is not a sale to miss over your holiday break. Stuff moves fast, and if you snooze, even a week, you lose. So start charting your invasion now.
New 2009 catalogs should be arriving in the Cincinnati/Dayton area mailboxes or newspapers by August. Usually. Maybe.

I am bummed that our Ikea doesn’t have much of the seasonal stuff at all. Or, if they have it, I somehow missed it entirely on my last trip. I was actually planning on getting the ÄPPLARÖ drop leaf table for my outside space, but they aren’t carrying it! What gives!!! They didn’t even have the fun summer light strings that I always spend too much money on.
We’re getting hosed. Wah.
