I'm a Deals Editor for Tom's Guide, so I write about a lot of deals every day. But this deal is about to go down in history as one of my all-time favourites.

Starting mid-April, you can get 50% off main meals in-store at IKEA every Wednesday. You need to be an IKEA Family member to get the discount, but it's free to sign up. The offer is already live and will run in select stores until June 24. (You can check the availability at IKEA online.)

A delicious deal

But why Wednesday? Well, IKEA has introduced it as a way to celebrate Lillördag (AKA “Little Saturday”) to make the middle of the week a bit more magical. But honestly, I'm not concerned about the reason, I'll happily take any discount offered on some tasty IKEA meatballs.

The offer will get you 50% off main menu items, making this a very affordable midweek meal. Just some of the options include:

  • Pasta with tomato sauce: £1.45
  • Mac & cheese: £2.25
  • Sausage & mash: £2.45
  • 8 plant balls & chips: £2.75
  • 8 meatballs & chips: £2.95
  • Smoky aubergine & goat’s cheese tart: £3.25
  • Fish & chips: £3.45
  • Chicken schnitzel, chips & peas: £3.45

While you're in the store, it just makes sense to check out some IKEA home decor and furniture. Here are some of my favourite recent picks:

Even better? It's crafted using more than 50% recycled plastic, while its rounded design brings a soft look to your space.
