IKEA food: How to get half-price main meals and what is included in the deal

Everyone knows the main reason to visit an IKEA isn't to look for a new bedside table, but actually to devour as many meatballs as humanly possible.

That's why it's such great news the bosses of the Swedish furniture behemoth have announced they will be offering main meals at half price.

Here's everything you need to know...

When is the IKEA food offer on?

The half-price deal on selected main meals - including their iconic meatballs - will run every Friday from Friday, February 2 up until the end of August 2024.

The deal from the Scandinavian furniture shop has been named “Swe-Dish Fridays”, offering a 50% discount on a number of main meals across breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Children’s meals are also included in the offer, where families can purchase a children’s pasta and tomato sauce, served with a piece of fruit and a soft drink for only 45p. 

How do I get half price meatballs?

“Swe-Dish Fridays” is available exclusively to IKEA Family members. The membership is free to join, giving customers exclusive access to discounts and rewards.
