My first furniture as a child in Canada was from Ikea. Now that I'm all grown up and married, I find myself strolling its long continuous aisle discussing PAX closet storage systems with hubby after an inexpensive dinner at its canteen. Coming here is both fun and exhausting. How will I ever keep our place as clean and compact as the beautiful displays say I can? Truly a place for everyone - families, students, residents of condos and houses. There are furniture design ideas for whichever stage of life you're in. Not the best quality of stuff, but pretty, practical and very useful all at once.
The food at the canteen can be ridiculously cheap. Daily $1 breakfasts before 11am. The place is rammed with families on weekend mornings. Love the Swedish meatballs which is a great deal to buy frozen to bring back home at $7.49 a bag. Chicken leg with fries, white fish with cheese sauce, all good at portion sizes that leave me stuffed and hubby barely satisfied.
