IKEA = Swedish for Overcharge Canadians

The IKEA KRAMFORS Leather Sofa retails for $1399.00 in Canada but if you’re south of the boarder you’ll pay only $899.00!

SayWaaaah? Why is there a $558.66 difference in price for the same item? The Canadian dollar is $0.069 cents more valuable then the U.S. Greenback and is likely going to climb even higher over the coming months.

Ingmar from Sweden better start adjusting prices or IKEA will lose Canadian customers very quickly.

Ah Tattoos, back when I was a kid you would only see them on sailors and prison convicts but now that there are over six billion people on the planet you have to do whatever it takes to stand out of the crowd and get noticed.
