IKEA Free Breakfast (Again!) – April 17 – 19, 2009

Posted on 4/13/2009 by grubgirl

IKEA’s latest Seize the Day promotion includes free breakfast and a coffee again, this Friday through Sunday.

Don’t forget to print out the coupon, and make sure you read the fine print since some locations are opting out.

Again, the retail value of an IKEA breakfast is $0.99, and a cup of coffee is $0.99, too. If you’ve got the time to stand in a potentially long line for $1.98 in savings (without purchasing anything else from the store), then sure, why not? But apparently this promotion is successful enough for IKEA’s sales that they’re doing this again.

Chow thankfully has written the basic ingredients for the brisket that you’ll need, along with the rest of the recipe:
