IKEA is known as the go-to place for affordable furniture that, with the right instructions and a little — or, sometimes, a lot — of patience, you can set up on your own. From the dorm room to the dining room of your first home, you’ll be able to furnish your space with chic IKEA furniture.

You might not expect a furniture store to be celebrated for its culinary delights, though IKEA does make a mean meatball. Fortunately, you’d be wrong. If you’re looking to stock your fridge or cupboards with some groceries as you get your new living room set up, you can grab a few goodies while you’re already in the store. 

GOBankingRates did the mouthwatering work of finding the IKEA grocery items that delight the taste buds and the wallet alike.

HUVUDROLL

IKEA’s famed Swedish meatballs are now available for you to bring to your own kitchen. At $14.99, you can snap up two pounds of the delectable meatballs — perfect for feeding a whole family or enjoying over multiple meals.

Whether you’re craving a meatball sub or meatballs and pasta, you’ll find a use for these delectable delights.

GRÖNSAKSKAKA

If you’re looking to serve some veggie-based options, you could definitely do far worse than these frozen vegetable medallions.

Perfect when paired with a salad or breakfast food, or as a snack in its own right, this multisyllabic goodie only costs $8.99 for a little over a pound of food within each box. 

ALLEMANSRÄTTEN

ALLEMANSRÄTTEN is a mighty big word for mighty tasty mashed potatoes.

The bag for these frozen mashed potatoes invites you to sample them with meatballs, sauce and lingonberry jam, but you can also pair them with traditional fare like other veggies or even a nice chicken breast. At only $5.49 a bag, you can snap up several all at once. 

SILL DILL

Odds are you probably can’t find marinated herring with dill at almost any other grocery store. That’s why you should pick up your new favorite snack food — best with crackers, bread or eaten right out of the jar — for only $2.99 a jar at your local IKEA. 

SYLT HALLON & BLÅBÄR

At only $4.99 a jar, this delightful organic raspberry and blueberry jam will cost about the same at IKEA as many other sugar-laden jams will run you at your local grocery store.

So why not try the fresh, fruity taste of the one-of-a-kind jam at IKEA? 

BELÖNING

No snack cabinet is complete without this bar of sumptuous white chocolate and raspberries. For only $2.79, you can feast on a truly luxurious candy anytime you feel like.
