Meatball Dinner

When was the last time you had an Ikea meatball dinner? (Assuming you have one nearby). It's currently $2.99 on Tuesdays for a 15 piece meatball dinner between 2 and 5 pm.  It's an extra dollar for coffee or a soft drink.  M gave me his lingonberry sauce as he doesn't care for it.

They also sell frozen meatballs, mashed potatoes and a gravy mix (to which you add your own cream) if you were inclined to make it yourself at home. You microwave the meatballs and mashed potatoes (adding your own salt and pepper to the potatoes which is a good thing). Then you boil the gravy with half a cup of your own cream. They also sell jars of lingonberry sauce.

  1. Hi Christine, I can't say I have ever had them. It is hard to imagine how they make a profit...or maybe they don't care as their other products are where the profits are.

    1. Lilly, believe me they make a profit at anything they do, it's the sheer numbers of people they get, sort of like Walmart.

    1. Valerie, the only thing is Swedish meatballs have all that delicious cream sauce, not necessarily a good thing!

  3. That's very reasonable, though too early for me to have dinner. We usually dine at 6:30 or 7 pm at restaurants. I probably would buy the frozen meatballs, etc. instead.

    1. Gigi, I guess that's why they do the special at that unpopular time. We actually grabbed a late lunch there.
