VAT/ex. VAT) for Ikea products North and South at http://www.cataloguecompare.com/ by simply entering in the article number. Argos prices can be compared too. The IKEA ex. VAT price differences don't appear to be that high, the biggest difference found so far is €59 on a €657 euro item - http://url.ie/256t In some cases the ex. VAT prices in Ireland are less than those in the North. You can compare the price differences (inc. VAT/ex.

Oh my god. They were so cute and wonderful when first introduced outside Sweden, ca. 1979. Now they are a nightmare to navigate. Felix being nearly eighteen I thought it my motherly duty - by way of rite of passage - to send him on a mission at our nearest freshly installed IKEA. I believe he is cured for life. Verdict? "Mama, it was the worst shopping experience ever." So very amusing, considering how close Finland is to Sweden that, according to Barry Smyth's research, they fare so expensively. Mind you, you get a similar effect when hopping the German border into Switzerland. U AJ, yes IKEA. Oh my god. They were so cute and wonderful when first introduced outside Sweden, ca. 1979.
