I love Ikea, as many of you know. I wanted to share some savings secrets with you!

1. One of my fave places to check out is the "as-is" room for discounted, preassembled products. The items in this room were either returned, used as display products, or slightly damaged, @ really great prices.

2. Before you go to the store, check for local Ikea discounts on the store's website. Every store has special coupons and offers, particularly for food, so make sure you take advantage of them.

3. Before making any big purchases, look up comparably priced items and read reviews about the product you're considering. Be sure to check in the "Offers" section of the site as well. Most Ikea stores offer free WiFi in the restaurant area, so bring a laptop with you.

4. If you end up missing parts for your Ikea purchase, the store will replace them for free. All you have to do is figure out the missing part number (listed in the assembly instructions) and call your local store to ask for replacements.

5. You receive a $25 discount when you sign up for the Ikea moving program, and the program also has handy tools like shopping lists and inspiration boards. There's no obligation to sign up, and only have to spend $250 (one or two pieces of furniture) to get the discount.

6. This is a must for everyone! Ikea offers a free, no-obligations discount program for any interested customers, and it can help you score the best deals in the store! The Family Program entitles you to special discounts, members-only savings events, early sales announcements, 90-day price protection, and even coffee/tea in the store's restaurant.

7. Browse online before you head to the actual store. IKEA is huge and sometimes overwhelming. If you take a look at what's available online, you might get a better idea of what to look for and what to expect. The online selection is not as vast as the selection in-store, but it is a good start.

8. Lost the assembly instructions for your product? IKEA was nice enough to produce and share Assembling with IKEA videos for their most popular products. Check them out here.

9. Utilize all the resources available, like the IKEA Home Planner. This feature lets you plan and design your kitchen, bathroom, or office. Once you design it, you will receive a detailed report of all the products you used with the prices included. You can easily create a profile to save your designs.

10. Check out the annual IKEA Catalog. If you don't get it in the mail, you can see it online, and they'll even tell you until when the prices are valid. The current 2017 IKEA Catalog has prices that are valid until July 31, 2017.

11. Did you know IKEA has a registry? If you didn't, now you do! You can find, create, or manage a registry for a wedding, a new baby, a new home, or whatever the occasion may be.

12. Be sure to sign up for their email newsletter. You will receive news of special sales, in store events and more!

Don't forget to pick up a pack of cinnamon buns in the grocery section. They are so good!
