For the nth time we went to IKEA this weekend. And every time we have been there we spend a couple of hundred dollars at least on stuff we don't really need. Everything is below 15 bucks and we keep telling ourselves its cheap and keep filling the shopping cart and by the time you reach the check out - your shocked when you hear the bill total. Even though we know their strategy - every single time we fall for it foolishly! Surprisingly I see so many others who visit there even some friends who came along with us once or twice - who actually don't fall for it. They have some amazing will power or maybe because their single they are kind of detached to this stuff - whatever it maybe!
There was a shopping cart incident that occurred. Our cart was pretty full. In fact a couple of items we left it in the lowest compartment of the trolley. After the check out we happily came to the car loaded our stuff and came home. After coming home we realized the stuff that was in the compartment below was not loaded. Well I was the one loading most of the stuff and was guilty with the short term memory loss I had. We called the call center staff immediately they said they had some emergency and took the item numbers and asked us to call back in 15 mins. We thought what the heck the drive is 25 mins lets take a chance and see if the stuff is still there in the cart where I had left it. When we finally got there, our cart was lying there all alone with the stuff. Phew! I felt so good it was in all worth around 30 bucks but thought of losing it was so very painful. Already it was an unnecessary expenditure and now if we happen to lose some of it - makes it even worse. Anyways we were lucky that it was not all that crowded in IKEA that day. Thank god for the indifferent attitude people showed towards that cart for once! So lesson learnt - be alert when loading stuff from cart to your car - CHECK the cart before you push it away! Ahem!
