and 2) From what I hear the food at Ikeas little cafe is so insanely cheap on its own..why would you cough up $100 for furniture to get it for free?(I have friends that are constantly telling me how they take their 2 kids there for lunch and they all eat for like...$5 or some insane amount. And yes..they are part Jew!)

1) all the stuff that I bought is great stuff, everything is made from staiinless steel and there are no furniture items except 2 stainless steel shelves that were just $14.99. I bought a lot of stuff on clearance for $0.99 each ($7.99 reg.) that I will sell on eBay and will make some extra cash.

2) I knew about this "free meal special" for 2 months in advance, so I waited to make a purchase when the sale was going on. Check the pic below for upcoming free food sales, and bring your whole family: treat them for an unforgettable meal at Ikea, and don't forget to stock up on Swedish food at the Ikea Market.

By the way, I am from Ukraine.

Panzer, I know somebody who used to work at IKEA. They do that sale when there's a bunch of food in their freezer that needs to be thrown out. All that stuff you ate, it'd been sitting in there freezer like 6 months and was coming up on expiration. If you hadn't eaten that stuff, you could have gotten it from their dumpster the next week for free.

Seriously? none of you know how Ikea operates?

It's very simple, they have the restaurant part run at a net-zero profit, which obviously means the food is really really cheap. The reason for this is to attract poor as dirt people, who still need cheap furniture.

It's like a Muslim convention there every day here, bringing their whole extended families to eat cheaply.

Point is, the trick attracts lots of people to buy their other stuff, which they do make a good profit of. A campaign like this is a obvious marketing campaign to attract more customers, and from what little I read here it's working famously, making them laugh all the way to the bank.

I buy the MetroCard in the beginning of every month and I get like 4-5 free extra rides, so I can use them for the trips like these (where I don't have to pay for the rides).

Ikea is literally a store full of junk. If you took the impulse element out of it and made customers come back a seperate ane later time to buy what they're in line with a week later and go through the same terrible customer experience I really hope few would do it again.

If you took the bus does this mean you had to carry all the furniture with you, or do they deliver?

Nah, you gotta carry the stuff unless you want to pay $69.00 per item for delivery. I had to take a bus and then the subway.
