Hey there, deal-seeking shoppers and budget-conscious decorators. Are you ready to spruce up your space without breaking the bank? Well, you’re in luck because GOBankingRates has done some serious price-tag sleuthing to compare Ikea’s offerings with BJ’s. Spoiler alert: Ikea’s coming in clutch with some deals that’ll make your wallet thank you — preferably with some Swedish meatballs.

Here are the 6 home items that are more affordable at Ikea than BJ’s.

To compare, check out these six home items that are also cheaper at Ikea than Target.

Hand towels — for some reason, you always need more than you have. Thankfully, Ikea’s Dimforsen is just $2.99 so you can do some major stocking up. This soft cotton and viscose blend even comes with a cute contrasting green hanging loop. 

Meanwhile, BJ’s Berkley Jensen Hand Towel is $4.99. Sure, it’s got some fancy “Solucell” technology, but is that worth an extra two bucks? 

Ready for some sleepytime savings? Ikea’s Dvala queen sheet set will tuck you in for just $24.99. That’s an extraordinary deal on high-quality sheets. 

BJ’s Berkley Jensen 425-thread count queen-size set, on the other hand, is priced at $44.99. That’s a $20 difference you could spend on, well, maybe some Swedish meatballs?

Need a place to stash your stuff? Ikea’s Omar shelving unit is standing tall at $69.98. It’s ready to organize your life without organizing your wallet out of cash.

BJ’s Berkley Jensen 24-inch steel rack comes in at $79.99 after a $20 discount. Not a huge difference — but hey, every penny counts when you’re on a budget.

Time to cover some ground — literally. Ikea’s Onsevig rug (approximately five feet by 8 feet) is laid out at $99.99. It’s ready to tie your room together without untying your purse strings.

BJ’s Home Dynamix Melrose Lorenzo (approximately five feet by seven feet) area rug is actually cheaper at $69.99. But remember, folks, sometimes you get what you pay for. Check those reviews.

Ikea’s Förnuft 20-piece flatware set is serving up style for just $9.99. That’s less than 50 cents per piece.

BJ’s Berkley Jensen 20-piece flatware set is priced at $29.99. That’s three times the price of Ikea’s set. Unless these forks and knives are made of magic, we know which set we’re choosing.

Bed frames are not an everyday purchase but when you need one, you don’t want to waste your entire savings on it. Ikea’s Slattum is a super basic bbed frame for a queen-size bed — but what it lacks in flair, it makes up for by being just $149.00. 

By contrast, BJ’s Berkley Jensen Maxwell queen-size bed is $599.99. Sure, it might be fancier, but is it $450 fancier? It all depends on your individual style or budget, but if you need a deal, Ikea is where it’s at.

Ikea comes through with better deals on these items, but that’s certainly not always the case. Before you buy anything home-related, make sure to search both sites to see where you’ll save a buck that day. 

And it doesn’t all come down to price — sometimes an item at BJ’s might just be more your style? Remember, you have to live with it everyday, so make sure to buy something you truly love. 

Happy shopping and may your home be as stylish as it is affordable.
