Trader Joe, Ikea, and H&M are all I need to be happy, too :)

I had never heard of Ikea hacking, but after checking out this site, I think I have a reason to take the ferry to Red Hook!

While the "small stuff" at IKEA might be cheap, the actual furniture prices have skyrocketed in the last couple of years. 10 years ago going shopping at IKEA meant you were interested in saving money. Nowadays, you are often better off going to a normal furniture store, seeing as how a lot of the stuff available at IKEA costs more than "normal" furniture. Best example would be our recently purchased bedroom, which cost about 400 Euro more than any other bedroom we had seen in any other non-luxury furniture store (including such brands as Scan Design).

That's the one thing that has started to keep me from purchasing stuff at IKEA. I mean: if I pay more, why do I still have to put it together myself?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (cue Jason Mraz) IKEA! I currently live in Atlanta, and we have IKEA, H&M, and Trader Joe's, so I feel content! However, I used to live in Germany and since I have lived in Atlanta (4 years in the ATL, 14 years in Germany), IKEA is the one place that I truly feel at home....sad, I know, but the truth. I was there last weekend, and will be going again this weekend. This time, when I go, I will have to use my imagination to see what I can come up with in the store to use as something else besides it's designed purpose. Thanks for the post!

I'm joining the group clamoring for IKEA (nearest one is an hour away on a toll road), Trader Joe's, and H&M. :(

After moving to Memphis from DC I've gone through some major IKEA, Trader Joe's and H&M withdrawal! I'd settle for Trader Joe's at least.

I agree with Padraig. I've never associated IKEA with "low prices" We had an IKEA bunkbed and it wasn't all that stable compared to the bunkbed we got from a major furniture store.

That reminds me, Stacy - I talked to the friend who had first told me we might be getting Trader Joe's in the Drake neighborhood, and that turns out not to be likely anymore. Sorry!

I went to one when my wife and I were in Milwaukee - I can see why it would be cool to have one local.
