We were at Ikea yesterday to claim my monthly cash reward. We had earlier planned to spend a maximum of 2 hours there but ended up spending 4 hours in that giant furniture shop. If I were given a big sum of cash to splurge, I would love to get a new piece of furniture for every section of my house from the bedrooms to the living room, bathrooms and kitchen. I wanted so much to get those colorful cupboards for the girls’ room, a new sofa set for the living room, a book shelf for my girls’ expanding collection of books, some Bellini modern bar stools for the dry kitchen, an office chair for my work area and a side table for my bedroom. If we were to buy all these, we would have spent over RM10k in that store. Though we did not get anything really big, we spent over a thousand Ringgit on a shoe shelf and other accessories. It’s pretty ‘dangerous’ to step into a huge furniture shop for you will surely be tempted to over-spend and buy unnecessarily.
