$1 Meal at Ikea

This weekend only Ikea is offering 10 meatballs, mashed potatoes and cream sauce for only $1. It is limited to 1 per person, per day. My husband and I took the boys and had a nice lunch out for only $4 for the whole family! Their meatballs are really good!

Teacher Appreciation Night at Ikea

I got a response back from Kitalena, who is in charge of PR for the Ikea West Chester store. She said that she is going to put out a press release tomorrow, so Saving Sherry readers are the first to know! Here's what Kitalena told me:

IKEA WEST CHESTER'S TEACHER APPRECIATION NIGHT

WHO: All teachers invited (even coworkers who are teachers)

WHAT: Teachers are invited to a night of free food and prize drawings and get to know our products that can help them in the classroom

WHEN: THURSDAY MAY 7, 6-8pm

WHERE: back of the Restaurant (aka "Teacher's Lounge")

This is an event exclusive to IKEA West Chester. We have some of the largest school districts in our area and a lot of teachers who deserve to be recognized for teaching all those students. So that's why we did this event in conjunction with National Teacher Appreciation Week. Teachers can come to our store and to the back of our restaurant we're dubbing the"Teacher's Lounge". There teachers can get some free food, register to win prizes that will be drawn every 15 minutes (until 8pm), and get a free gift.

Homeschooling teachers are included in this event. Some of the prizes to be given out include: gift cards, MALA easels, storage boxes, a TROFAST storage system and other suprises! This totally makes me jealous of all those teachers. . . hopefully they are still doing this when I go back to the classroom!

If I find anything else out I'll let you know! Check out my original post here.

Attention Teachers!!

I was at Ikea last night buying some step stools for my son who had his potty party last night because he is finally potty trained!!!!!! (I'm a little excited about that!) Anyway, I happened to notice a sign by the restaurant that said on May 7 they are having Teacher Appreciation Night from 6-8pm! If you bring you school ID you can get FREE food and register for prizes that will be given out every 15 minutes (registration starts at 5:30). I just checked Ikea's site and I didn't see anything about this great deal, but they only are letting me view the April calender, so that's probably why I can't find it.

So, mark you calenders now so that you can get FREE food and maybe some prizes! This makes me almost wish I was still teaching instead of staying home with my boys, wait, no it doesn't, it just makes me wish I didn't throw away my school ID badge!!

Free breakfast at Ikea again. They are going to get us too used to this! I got breakfast last time they had this sale (by the way I thought I might actually die because of herd mentality trying to get flooring, but I scored 7 boxes all by myself and I was proud) and it's actually pretty good. They have large portion sizes and the tator tots were great! The bacon left something to be desired but the eggs were pretty good. Check out the sale here if you need a new table or white dishes. And from past experience, get there EARLY, like an hour early at least if you want either of those!

Well, Ikea's at it again! FREE BREAKFAST! And I'm in town this time! I'm excited. They have some other really good deals too. Check it out here. We're thinking about picking up some flooring so don't take all of it if you go!

FREE BREAKFAST AGAIN!!!!! FREE BREAKFAST AGAIN!!!!!

Well, apparently Ikea decided you all have been good and wanted to give you another $.99 discount! I received this e-mail from them (yeah, from Ikea, not sure how I got on that list, they actually said something about my last post, weird) and wanted to share the info with you. You can get your free breakfast this Friday, Saturday and Sunday until 10:30. Ironically, last time they did this I was in Indiana with my parents, this time I'm in Ohio with my in-laws. I guess I'm doomed to not receive free food from Ikea. Someone enjoy it for me!
