Despite the fact that you probably end up spending a lot of money when you go to IKEA, the store has a lot of low-key steals that totally worth braving the crowds for. I know this might shock you, but there are tons of things under $20 at IKEA that are actually useful purchases. If you think about it, I'm sure your past trips to IKEA probably included complicated desk pick-ups and couch hauls — so your past bills from IKEA were probably pretty hefty too. But as it turns out, the the Swedish furniture superstore is also home to a wide variety of super cheap items that you actually need. If you thought frozen meatballs were the store's only secret steal, you have been greatly mistaken!

So if you're looking for an excuse to head to IKEA this weekend, let me inspire you with an appealing selection of inexpensive and discounted items. Though I might suggest mapping out your product search so that you don't end up lost in the corn maze that is IKEA, because nothing puts a damper on a good sale shopping spree like getting so lost in a store that you become a real live adult version of Corduroy bear. Make sure that you organize your to-do list by section, because you know how difficult it is to walk backwards through IKEA — people literally treat you like you're driving the wrong way on a one way street. It's against the unspoken IKEA laws. So get organized, and get your sale on, Ikea is about to be your new favorite cheapie steal zone. Here are the top IKEA bargains for under $20:
