My new favorite thing to do... IKEA!

As Josh and I are getting closer to moving into an apartment (around February or March) I’ve been trying to find deals to furnish it for now, and lately my favorite thing to look at is IKEA. Now I started looking because my wonderful grandparents gave me a $100 gift card for Graduation. So as I started looking I realized that IKEA is amazing! 
My awesome grandparents!

I started a list on their website and I have 19 things on there that add up to $91. Now these are kitchen items which generally cost a lot of money, so I’m really stoked with this amount. The only problem being that they don’t sell these things online so I’ll need to wait until I can get to an IKEA to buy everything, but that’s fine with me. If you want the little things for your kitchen (that will add up fast) then go to IKEA.   
Below is the list of items that I started and we will most likely be purchasing (if Josh likes them)
*Warning!  These names are Swedish (I believe) so they will look really strange. Plus it’s a LONG list. Unfortunately the pictures wouldn’t show up on the list so I will put a few after it.*

Okay, where else are you going to find a chopper, a Wok, a 20-piece utensil set and a Salad Spinner each for under $10?! These are such amazing deals for anyone, but people who are moving in for the first time (like us) or people who need new items on a low budget, this store is amazing. Most of the furniture is construct yourself so it’s a good thing IKEA sells tool kits because you’re going to need them! J
Hope this helped (even though I’m sure everyone knows about IKEA already), but I wanted to give you examples of how great it is.
Peace. Love. And a soon to be Apartment.
