Ikea Summer Sale 2008 Shopping List

I hope you all had a chance to make it out to this Summer’s 2008, “Ikea Summer Sale,” but if you haven’t, I wanted to share my shopping list with you. In total, we spent $1300, including everything for delivery and all, and for Ikea, that may seem like a lot of money, but we populated our entire new apartment.

The unfortunate thing about our whole shopping trip was that not too many items we purchased were on sale, but I feel we made the best of the “summer sale,” and made out like bandits!
