Hi IKEA friends,
Over the weekend, I went shopping at IKEA again with a friend. I had seen in a TV commercial that the shelves from the Expedit series were on sale. So, I jumped into the weekend rush full of families and couples. When I got to the item I wanted, it was only available in two colors: black and white. What now? Normally, the shelf I wanted costs 59.00 euros, but on sale, it was only 39.00 euros. I originally wanted one in birch, but they were all gone, and the same for walnut.
So I had to decide—either white or black, although I ruled out black because dust would probably show more. So white was the only option left, and I thought, since I had already driven 60 km (37 miles), I might as well take the Expedit shelf and save 20 euros.
Today, I’m going to assemble it and see how it fits with my other furniture. What do you do when you really want a piece of furniture, it’s on sale, but no longer available in the color you want? Take it anyway or leave it?
