[@ChloeSinclair-jt5kj]

I don't often shop at Ikea but it looks very good! 😊

[@BethanySeanAZ]

Amazing 😻 and I had no idea that you could get a free kids meal per adult meal GTK🎉

[@abunnylife]

Happy 2nd Mother’s Day Katie!!! ❤ extra good mums deserve 2 Mothers days. Enjoy your day

Thank you! Bob and JoJo are taking me out today! 😊

The only time a uk ikea is that quiet is when it’s closed

[@PaulKrenik-jx6js]

Hello. Just saw your Walmart shopping video on another channel. I'm originally from London (Hillingdon to be exact) but moved to Minnesota about 50 yrs ago. My parents lived in Florida for yrs after they retired so I got to know the best reasonably priced grocery stores. Publix is a good one and reasonable. Must be careful with Walmart produce even if marked as organic. Lots from Mexico and very little regulation on what chemicals they use. There is a utuber I follow and have his free app. Bobby Parrish is his name and I believe he lives in Florida. He is excellent and basically tells you what healthy or not. "Bobby approved" when you scan the bar code and the app is totally free. I'm not sure if it will work in the UK but can always try. It takes all the guess work out of what to buy and his videos are great and entertaining. I spent a lot of time in carmarthan where my grandparents ran a hotel. I remember having a English breakfast every morning with my grandmother and what id give for the breakfast sausages and homemade oxtail soup they served there. Great videos and stay 😎

[@ImeldaByrne-z4x]

What a great view from the restaurant x

[@bluefishjoe]

Legally, Jojo is a kid until he’s 18. I remember when I was 18 and in my last year of school, my parents got a discount at a hotel because I looked much younger.

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Loved that walkthrough ,amazing how similar is be good to know if Sweden has same 😊

[@ruthsubash5618]

Ikea Sheffield had pencils and tape measures last month when we went

[@catherineclark2949]

I would be like you Katie buying something because it's cheap 😊 Great haul cannot believe the amount of food, would definitely not get that in England xx

[@mxfolkard]

Never knew there was an Ikea in the UK? I haven’t been to one in ages but the Ikea in the US seems much bigger, was it? You may have said if it was already, sorry if so! Lovely to see you all enjoying you food it shows you appreciation for it. #freegang #livebutnotlive #justkeeprising

[@danielleporter1829]

Glad you all didn't suffer Stockholm Syndrome when you saw that $2,400 couch 🛋️ lol😊😂 I've never been in an IKEA, have been past IKEAs on the freeway ( motorway). I think if you were to buy a vacation house in Fl. Katie would be in IKEA every chance she would have lol.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Katie would kit out that holiday home in Florida with Ikea furniture!!! 😂

[@1melannlit]

That is not chili...that is a soup. I don't care what IKEA thinks they made. We, here in Texas, have specific requirements regarding Chili.

[@johnseah957]

You must have went to Ikea on a Wednesday, because the free kids meals is only on Wednesdays.

[@FamilyFreedom]

You're right John, it was a Wednesday! 👍

[@TheNameIsTeddi]

Love the veggie and/or meat free balls! (was actually one of the things that contributed to my switch to pollotarian diet haha!) Coming to you live but not live on my 18th birthday! I celebrated by buying a razor as they’re age restricted here in the UK I believe, or at least in Scotland 😅

[@FamilyFreedom]

Happy 18th birthday 🎁 🎂🎈🎉 We hope you’re having a wonderful day! Big virtual hugs from all of us 🎁🎂🎈🎉

[@TheNameIsTeddi]

@FamilyFreedom thank you! I had a somewhat decent day!

Hi ALL, the Ikea in coventry UK, got closed down .BUT I found OUT that we are getting a smaller IKEA, in coventry UK. 😄😄😄 much rarther have a real plant, I love kitchen gadgets.

[@codependentk2888]

I've been watching all of your Orlando videos and I'm starting to feel embarrassed. LOL I am nearly 51 years old, born and raised in the US and I have never been to any Disney park, no Trader Joe's and no IKEA. I've only been in a Target twice. I do have to say I am truly enjoying your videos though.

[@FamilyFreedom]

We're glad to hear that you've been enjoying the videos, but there's certainly no need to feel embarrassed! You live your life the way you do, and that's absolutely fine! 😊 It's quite common that tourists tend to see and do more in a city than the residents. We've known of many people that have seen and done more in London whilst on holiday, than we have since being residents! 😃

[@WilliamB161]

Hope you guys enjoy your shopping at IKEA 🛒❤️

[@randomguy56789]

Cool and what about Swing Kids 1993 have you guys seen that movie before?

[@FamilyFreedom]

No we've never heard of that one

I had trouble finding them here in the States as well finally found it packaged with their tiny French Chef knife for $5 I bought three. We only have one Ikea in the State of Michigan it’s in Canton which is about 45 minutes from where we live in Detroit. 🙂🐈🐈‍⬛💖🌈

You all seem like such good people. I feel like most people wouldn't have cared enough to replace the chipped bowl.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Aw that’s such a kind thing to say 🤗 Thank you 🙏

Oh my goodness what time did you go to IKEA? Lol that is my local store but when we go we have to plan so that it’s not huge crowds and a packed parking lot! LOL so glad you enjoyed!

[@BethanySeanAZ]

I love ❤️ IKEA but we have to drive up to Phoenix Arizona from Tucson Arizona which is 2 hours away 😢but I’d still go for SURE

[@randomguy56789]

Also have you guys seen Dog Soldiers before?

[@FamilyFreedom]

Yes, Bob saw it quite a few years ago 😊

Happy Mother's day Katie. I hope you got spoiled today.

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you! Yes we had a nice day out 😊

[@avacadman2155]

We used to have to travel to London, now we have one in Southampton! So much easier for us. We utilised our kitchen cupboards by keeping the IKES units but having our own doors , adding more units ourselves also, once we wanted to change the kitchen design. 👍👍👍

[@FamilyFreedom]

Great that you have an IKEA in Southampton Ava👌 Much better than travelling to London! We used to have IKEA kitchen cupboards, they are very solid 😊👌

I’ve been to that IKEA, years ago. Millenia Mall, right? It’s not usually that quiet. It’s never as busy as the one I used to go to in New York, but there’s normally at least some people there.

[@PepperSprayed-bc5de]

I would never put that tissue-paper-&-spit IKEA "furniture" in my home, yet there are a few kitchen items of interest here & there. That's about it.

[@jimcathcart5116]

Everything is similar because it’s all made in Sweden for all dtores

[@rkolker]

Ikea looks the same inside and out in all the countries I have seen it. Only change - the sign is in Hebrew in Israel, local currency in each country.

[@KreekCraft_Steak_Clips_Vods]

Katie is funny lol , she is like you can’t leave it for that , and Bob is like we aren’t buying furniture 😂

Another fantastic shopping trip vlog from the lovely Katie, Bob & JoJo. It definitely was quiet in IKEA so maybe it's not as popular in the USA compared to the UK. Love 🥰 the vlog and love 💕 all The Family Freedom Gang. Have a lovely Sunday and week ahead.

The ikea in columbus ohio is always busy. Maybe everyone was at Disney, lol.

I recently went to an Ikea in Bangkok. They had vegan chicken and chips for 69 baht, less than £1.55. And vegan soft serve icecream, just like Mr.Whippy for 8 baht, which is less than 18p!! It was also self serve, so you could make your cone as large as you wanted😍 This was just the ending grab and go section, not even the restaurant!

[@Rosie-iy2bv]

The plant balls meal with mash, brocolli, etc is 99 baht £2.20😊

If you see a reduction that you really wanted you could always go online and see if they also have it in offer in the London and you can purchase online and have it delivered to you if the shipping is low enough. But it would be an easy way to find out how much it would be.... maybe if you spend enough it would be free.99 delivery fee. Lol. Let the savings #Justkeeprising. oh yeah... BEAAAAANNNNNSSSSS!

[@MargrietOrtner-Tijmons]

Wow, what praises for the things you see there. A Kallax cabinet with 2 compartments costs 29.99 euros here in Belgium, and 24.99 euros in the Netherlands (wass 19.99 last year). I only saw that stool with the blue cushion in Breda for 69.99, and that gold cutlery costs 59.99 here in Breda, but when it was first sold 2 years ago or so, it started at 29.95 per set. (1 euro is 1.08 American dollars b.t.w.). Have a nice holiday onwards.

[@MargrietOrtner-Tijmons]

I love Ikea. We live 30km from the Dutch border. And just on the other side of the border there is an Ikea, but also if we drive just past Antwerp at about the same distance from our house, there is an Ikea there. Even at such a small distance you can already see a difference in products and prices. But I was surprised at how expensive those plant balls are at Ikea in Orlando, we pay about 5.50 euros for 8 pieces and 7.00 euros for 12 pieces. I'm curious to see what you discover, I still have to watch the rest of the video.

[@richelleperriam7779]

Australia has IKEA, it's an amazing store🤩

[@FamilyFreedom]

Good to know! 🇦🇺😊

[@joanfreestone1707]

It seems that Ikea stores are the same all over the world although the British and American ones look better than ours in Perth. We've been having a lot of supply issues here since the pandemic and last time I went to Ikea for lunch, there wasn't one vegan meal available in the restaurant! I had to leave and go somewhere else. The supermarket didn't have much either. They were out of plant balls, so I got the veggie balls. It's the same in all the shops here. The excuse is that we are the most remote capital city in world, but it was never a problem before. We're not very happy shoppers! Your videos highlight how bad things are here. However, we do have palm trees!!

[@lanamitchell6592]

Hi family freedom hope you are well and having a good day! The first thing that came into my head when I read the thumbnail was ikea mustard!! I wonder if they have it and they said!😂😂 the way I shouted mustard so loud😂 didn't see the tomato sauce tho! 😂 I knew the small table was £10 in the uk I remember saying to my mum thats cheap!😂 I always get kids meal in ikea bc I don't eat eat alot and plus its cheaper😂 they never tell me of fir buying a kids meal😂 Take care Just keep rising 🌻💚🌿
