6 Home Items That Are More Affordable at Ikea Than Target

Whether moving to a new place or just wanting to refresh your home, you’re probably looking to save money on your purchases. You may think of Target as the destination for stylish home items, but did you know that Ikea offers more affordable versions of many items carried at Target?

Here are seven home items that are more affordable at Ikea than at Target (some are even half the price).

Every kitchen needs at least one cutting board, and bamboo is a stylish and sustainable option for a low price. At Ikea, the APTITLIG bamboo cutting board (9 ½” by 6″) is available for an unbeatable price of $3.99.

On the other hand, Target offers the Figmint bamboo cutting board (10″ by 13″) for $12. While Target’s board is a bit larger, the Ikea version is way more affordable and will look just as good in your kitchen.

For coffee enthusiasts, a French press is a must-have. The Ikea UPPHETTA Coffee Maker, priced at $9.99, is a compact and affordable option for two medium-sized cups of coffee (13.5 oz). It’s perfect for those who need a quick caffeine fix without spending too much. If you need a larger capacity, Ikea also offers a 34-ounce version for $9.99.

In comparison, Target’s Bodum Brazil 34oz French Press Coffee Maker is priced at $19.99, double that of Ikea’s option. Ikea’s French press is the clear choice for those looking to save.

A corkscrew is an essential tool for any wine lover. At Ikea, the IDEALISK Corkscrew is available for just $3.99. This classic tool is simple, effective, and incredibly affordable.

In contrast, Target’s OXO Softworks Corkscrew is priced at $9.99, more than double that of Ikea’s version. For those looking to enjoy their wine without overspending, Ikea’s IDEALISK Corkscrew is the better option.

When it comes to dinnerware, simple white stoneware is a versatile and elegant choice. Ikea’s GODMIDDAG 18-Piece Dinnerware Set is priced at $29.99, which breaks down to just $5 per 3-piece place setting. This set includes six dinner plates, six side plates, and six bowls, making it an excellent value for money.

Target offers the Room Essentials Coupe 16-Piece Dinnerware Set for double the price at $60, but this set only includes four dinner plates, four side plates, and four bowls, which equates to $15 per 3-piece place setting. There are also four mugs, so while the price tag is higher, this may be a better option for those who want matching drinkware as well.

Scrub brushes are handy for cleaning dishes and surfaces, and they don’t have to be expensive. Ikea’s ANTAGEN Dish Brush is an incredible bargain at just $0.79. This brush is sturdy and effective, making it a great tool for tackling tough grime.

Target’s Made By Design Dish Brush, on the other hand, is priced at $3.29, making it significantly more expensive than Ikea’s option. While Target offers a wider variety of scrub brushes, Ikea’s ANTAGEN Dish Brush provides unbeatable value at under $1 per brush.

For wine enthusiasts, Ikea’s SVALKA Wine Glasses are a steal at $7.99 for a set of six, making each glass cost just $1.33. These affordable wine glasses are perfect for entertaining and everyday use.

In comparison, Target’s Threshold Wine Glasses are priced at $12 for a set of six, which equates to $2 per glass. Target’s wine glasses are more expensive per glass but hold 12 oz, while Ikea’s only hold 10 oz.
