Friday, September 2nd, 2011 by Susan

Kids Eat Free at IKEA - September 3-5thIt’s back! This Labor Day weekend, September 3rd through September 5th, 2011, bring the kids to IKEA for free meals. No adult meal purchase necessary, but the deal is only good for kids 12 and under.

Kids choose one combo meal valued at $2.49. Kids Mac & Cheese, Chicken tenders or Meatballs with a side (veggies, fries or mashed potatoes) and a drink (milk, lingonberry drink or fountain beverage).

Apparently kids can’t get chicken tenders or french fries at IKEA Carson – wonder what’s up with that? Also, there are no free kids meals at IKEA Houston or at IKEA Direct (duh, it’s a telephone call center).
