Ikea's Sweedish Meatball Delight


Last night we went to Ikea and my sister loves their Swedish meatballs. If you are blessed enough to have an Ikea store near you they have an awesome little deal with purchasing their Swedish Meatball dinner. Here is how it works out.

2 Cream Sauce Packets - $1.81 (You pay .92 for one and .89 for the second)
1 package of the Swedish Meatballs - $5.55
1 package of the Potatoes Au Gratin - $2.69
1 jar of Ligonberry Jam - $2.99

Total: $13.04

You are basically saving $4.37 by buying the package deal. The regular price of the Cream Sauce packets are $1.29 each, Swedish Meatballs is regularly $7.99 and the regular price of the Potatoes Au Gratin is $3.79.

As for this particular Dinner is Served meal I will be adding egg noodles - $1.00 if you buy them at your local Dollar Tree or around $1.49 in a grocery store. So you are still coming out to the good with this dinner. As for preparation, just follow the packages instructions and it will truly come out great. I will add a stock photo here, and tonight I will add my own photo. This is really good and after adding some noodles it will definitely be a pleaser for the entire family.

On a side note I also bought the Almond Cake. I splurged and paid $4.99 for it but I LOVE this cake. My total purchase at the Ikea Food was $18.33 after taxes. Not so bad for a great meal and a great dessert!
