Abandon Cart! Abandon Cart!

Have you ever walked away from a full cart of merchandise while shopping at a Big Box Store?  What made you do it?  We often abandon carts full of merchandise when we are shopping at stores like Walmart, Target, or IKEA.  Why do we do it?  Here are three reasons we abandon carts full of merchandise while we are shopping:

1.  Stock Out - The store is out of the item we came to get.
2.  Item Not Carried - Some vital item we needed was not even carried by the store.
3.  Check Out Line Too Long and Too Slow - Some items just aren't worth standing in line for.

American-Made Products at Ikea

 I recently spotted an amazing and rare thing in our local Ikea store.  It was like a unicorn or a white whale or the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.  It was a Made in USA Label!

It was on a 6-pack of SVALKA red wine glasses that was on sale for only $3.99.

Cheers with an American-Made Svalka Red Wine Glass!

 It's a start IKEA!  I'd love to see more products made in the USA and made in Scandinavia!
