Shopping at IKEA can be fun (who doesn't love snooping around the latest room setups?), but it can also be overwhelming. With thousands of products both in-store and online, it's a lot to take in — especially in categories with dozens of options. The website is also famously tricky to navigate. I've recently found a way to streamline shopping on the site, though. If you make regular trips to IKEA, you've likely noticed their yellow tags in stores, but do you know what they signify?
For the uninitiated, these tags you see on certain products indicate that they are IKEA's lowest-priced items in a particular category — meaning they're even cheaper than the already affordable prices you'd expect from the Swedish superstore.
Despite being marked with a bright yellow oversized price tag, these products can be tricky to spot in-store, as there's no dedicated section for them. Instead they're randomly dotted around the entire showroom, which them easy to miss amongst the thousands of other products on display. Recently, though, I discovered a somewhat-hidden page on IKEA's website that displays all the yellow tag items in one place (and most of them are shoppable online, too).
With a whopping 296 items (at last count), this section of IKEA's website has products for every room in the home with prices starting at just 29 cents. You can sort by price to browse all the yellow tag items from lowest to highest. Alternatively, you can filter by category to see the cheapest items in every section, and you can then further sort by price.
Whether you're shopping for big pieces like beds, shelves, or even kitchen appliances, or smaller decor items like vases and tableware, you'll likely find at least one unbelievably low-priced yellow-tagged item in each category (hello, $50 ottoman and $15 nightstand). Browse the home textiles section for instance, and you'll find curtains, rugs, and bedding, many of which cost less than a fiver!
Yellow tag pieces aren't discounted or limited-time offers — instead they're pieces designed to keep prices as low as possible without compromising IKEA's standards. On some of their European websites, IKEA describes these pieces as 'breathtaking items because their prices are so low, it really takes your breath away.'
IKEA is already known and loved for its unbeatable prices, but this online section makes it easy to score even bigger savings on everything you need to kit out a home, without having to step foot in a store.
