And it’s not just because they sell affordable awesome furniture either. They also provide a lovely place to have a nice cheap date.

Now, I know you’re all like ‘Whaaaaaaaaaat?’ like the minions from Despicable Me (See example below)

I love the minions. Anyways, back to Ikea.

Seriously though, they really have pretty good food, that isn’t boring fast food, but costs just the same. AJ and I got their famous meatball meal last night (plus 5 extra so we could share), a piece of cake to share, some garlic bread,  and two drinks, and it only cost $11.

Plus, we’re nerds and have fun wandering around, picking out things we’d eventually like to have, trying out all the sofas and comfy chairs, and being generally silly. Don’t judge us, it’s fun.

The only trouble with going on dates to Ikea, is that you have to exercise a LOT of self restraint (at least if you’re us), to buy things there, or else it kind of defeats the purpose of the cheap date. It’s so hard though, because they have so many awesome cheap items there, like picture frames, wall art, candles, curtains, pillows, and a trillion other fun gadgets.

Going to Ikea ended up costing us more than $11 because of this, but, on the up side I got some great things to show you in blog posts later this week…

(I know you’re loving how I sneakily build up the suspense.)
