    Gonna sound stupid, but I just checked out our preview, can get to manchester or warrington, and are meant to be going either tomorrow or saturday for some kids bits and an expedit unit. Is whats in the preview pretty much it or am I likely to get what I need on sale. Don't really want to put off going as it's for work but it takes around an hour to get to a store so can't justify going twice so soon together.
    Thanks

    Thanks for this, would be so grateful if someone could point me in the direction of a 20% voucher for either the Cardiff or Bristol store, or post it up here if they bring it out at a later date. Planning on spending £3k on a kitchen in the next couple of weeks so would save us a load.

    Thanks.

    Can't help you with the the voucher, but we've just bought our kitchen from IKEA and I'm really pleased with it. I recommend getting outside quotes for fitting though; our quote from their installers was - for all the work we needed - comparable to the cost of the kitchen. We found a local company in the end and he has done a beautiful job (even down to making me a couple of chopping boards from the worksurface off cuts!). He's boxed in all the pipework too, made fake backs for some of the units to hide the plumbing - really above and beyond the call of duty! He even fixed our outside tap because he noticed it wasn't working properly :)

    Our fit was really complex because of the amount of plumbing/electric/obstacles, but the difference between the fitting quotes was a four figure sum and the level of service and craftmanship we got from the guy that actually fitted it I can't praise enough. :o

    If you just change the store name in the link previously, it will come up with your store sale. It just worked for Tottenham and Leeds.

    I'm off to Ikea this Sunday - but the sale starts on Monday! Doh! :o

    Is there any way of knowing if I see something on Sunday whether it'll be on sale next week? That way I can decide if it's worth another trip next week.........
    I've looked at the sale preview on the website but it only shows a small selection of what will be reduced.

    TIA
