Can we BUY our weekly FOOD SHOP from IKEA for £30?

#ikeafood #foodhaul #cheapfood #foodshopping #ikeavegan
Hey FreeGang! Thanks for tuning into another video! 🙏😃 We know you guys are really enjoying our £30 budget food shopping videos so we decided to see if we could get a cheap grocery food haul from the Ikea supermarket for only £30. We have always liked the food that Ikea serve in their restaurants but we wanted to see if the food in their Swedish food market is equally as good and is it as cheap as some other things that Ikea sell in store? How do you think we will do with this Ikea food shopping challenge?

[@karenmar1529]

Wow, I didn't even know IKEA had a section where you could buy groceries. Now I wish I could see you prepare the hotdogs and meatballs to see if it is truly the IKEA experience. Does it taste the same as if you were eating there. Always fun challenges. 🤗

[@dorisrougvie1793]

Love IKEA food ,restaurant,

[@BoyMom115]

I live in the United States and we have IKEA here as well. A lot of those products are available here, but they are significantly more expensive. For that smaller bag of plant balls that you got it is $8.99 here which is equivalent to a little bit over £7. It would definitely not be possible to shop there on a budget for us but it’s definitely somewhere you can go if you want to get a couple products that aren’t regularly available in other grocery stores or supermarkets like the lingonberry spread

[@FamilyFreedom]

Yeah it seems across all Ikea stores in all countries that it wouldn't be possible to get the weekly shop, especially with how it's even more expensive there in the states. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@chloeohare_art]

Hi, im coming live but not live from nottingham, I love this series, some of the results are really shocking to see, I think you should try to do a weekly shop in M & S with £30 to see what you can buy, love the video ❤

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Chloe! Yes for sure we'll be doing in M&S in the future! 👍

Thanks David! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@amy3358]

I wonder if you could defrost the meatballs and press them in to a burger/patty. You could then put it between your homemade bread from your previous video and make a burger? Maybe even mix the two types or meatballs together? Just an idea not sure if it would work 🥰

[@francisraffle2948]

Hi I live in St helens I'm a new sub great shop I think IKEA is OK for bits like meat balls hot fogs but not a full shop money doesn't go anywhere now as every week shoping seems to go up in price love fran xx

Thank you for showing that Ikea do sell the vegan hotdogs, those are a huge favorite for me and my mother. Will need to do a plantbased shop at Ikea, hoping that will make it easier for my mother. She reacts to certain meat products after gastric bypass, norwegian summer is saved knowing i can get the delicious hotdogs to eat at home

[@Ameliarv]

[@FamilyFreedom]

Thank you! Will do! 🤗

[@freudenberg101]

Ingvar Kamprad (the founder) wrote in his will that a hotdog should never cost more than 5 SEK in the restaurant (38p); and it still does.😊

Although it's quite a long drive from our place, I love going to Ikea here in Perth and their vegan food is yummy. I always stock up on the plant balls and veggie balls.

[@FamilyFreedom]

[@CatrinJones-xf8yt]

Waitrose vs m&s would be interesting!

[@FamilyFreedom]

[@hmatthieson811]

You should’ve put the flatbread back as well it’s so easy to make yourself and when you make it fresh it’s loads better 😊😊

[@FamilyFreedom]

Very true, although we had to consider only what we could get from Ikea as part of this challenge. If they sold flour then that would have been better! 👍

[@LittleBitofSunshine]

I was wondering how you’d get on with this because they are so limited on fruit & veg! But them veggie balls and Rosti’s are delicious! I think ikea is good for stuff but not a weekly shop haha I think veggie balls are worth a trip though ha

Also just remembered, did you know you can make a really nice pasta dish just with pasta, ketchup and a bit of margarine/butter, then just salt and pepper? There's plenty of videos you can watch to see how it is done but it's a very simple yet surprisingly tasty dinner so you should do this seeing as you'll no doubt have plenty of left over ketchup this week! 😊🍅🍝

[@lindsaylovestorun]

I was impressed and surprised at your creative idea to do a food shop here. Shame it wasn't possible but like you said they don't claim to be a supermarket though. It was still good to see what was possible and the type of products available. Interesting and funny video guys. X

[@EiresNancy]

Iv never been to IKEA but iv always wanted to go It doesn’t look good for weekly shop but to get a few bits for your freezer and and few specialty’s it I reckon it could be worth a nosey btw love that you can make your own oat milk will Defo be trying that! 😄thanks Katie

[@FamilyFreedom]

Hey Nancy, yes it's definitely good for a few bits. If you haven't been then we'd recommend you eat there first to sample the food!! 😋

[@alwayslearning9272]

That was a lot of fun, thanks for showing us what was available, especially as a vegan! If you haven't used your flatbreads yet I was thinking you could make a pizza with them as a base, then some of the pasta sauce and then top it with some of the veggie balls! 🍕

[@FamilyFreedom]

Ah that's a great idea, thanks so much! 😋

[@alwayslearning9272]

You're so welcome! It would be great to see you trying these two recipe ideas out, that would make my day and I'm sure would help others as well! 🤞🏻😊🍝🍕

[@alwayslearning9272]

Btw forgot to mention, I'm from Adelaide in the south of Australia. I checked out the website for IKEA and saw most of the items that you bought so am planning a trip there as soon as they're in stock again. The prices are significantly more than you paid, even with conversion, so not so much budget friendly but I'm keen to try some of the products just once. Thanks so much for letting us know about the veggie hotdogs, I had no idea they had those so was thrilled to discover that! 🌭 Did you know by 2025 IKEA are striving to make their restaurant 50% plant based?? Fantastic! 😊

[@aka4445]

This was impressive to see 👒 off to you 👏 First of all Ikea near me doesn't have a swedish market 😢 went there last weekend to give my son a little fun experience around Ikea and he loved it. Though he was very cheeky each time he saw a bew and was like bed bed so we sat on it he tried to get comfy and lay down and guess what he did next 😂😂 wanted to have milk and kept putting his mouth there 😅 I never allowed him to have milk as it was super busy and camera's everywhere. He did it each time he saw a bed bless him. So had to rush out to feed him. We never got offered the lingonberry jam with our plant balls 😮 Their drinks were really carbonated I couldn't enjoy them :( Nice haul and hope it went well without any fruit/ fresh veg

Hi, good question! It's hard to compare all of the different eras of cartoon, but what we can say for sure is that Avatar the last airbender and Legend of Korra are both awesome and we love watching them.
