IKEA Laundry Rack/Basket... whatever!


Dreamy! Yes its another post about Landry Baskets heehee!! But as you said, there is a hidden lesson here :-P And Fayoora, this is the IKEA one you are talking about.

My friend was in IKEA and told me that there is a similar Laundry Basket to the one I posted about for 750 fils!! I was like WHAT!!!!!! and then I asked him to take pictures, which he did... obviously :-P

Well... this Rack is is somewhat similar but not the same...! Not like the picture I posted on my blog... but 750 fils! WOW! That is MUCH lower than mine! I mean I paid KWD 17.000 (check my previous post http://ansam518.blogspot.com/2007/07/spot-differences.html)

My sister's rack is almost the same - less than KWD 4.000 - Option A


IKEA Rack somewhat the same - KWD 0.750 - Option B

With the KWD 17.000 I could have bought 4.3 Option A racks (keep the 0.3 part for later)

Also, with KWD 17.000 I could have bought 22.7 Option B racks (also the 0.7 part is needed)

If I added 0.3 and 0.7 (both from Option A and Option B respectively) I would get ONE Option AB rack... If you dont get it, just ignore it... its me being silly and angry!!


Ohh and yes, thank you Abz for the pics ;-)

Wow! Really goes to show you how much price variety there is in Kuwait and you have to hunt around before settling on a purchase! Tara it's the same thing with clothes!

just to make it worse,....:P

had you bought the 22.7 option b racks you could have in fact kept 2 which equals more or less the size of your kd17 rack,...sold the remaining 20.7 at kd2 a piece, thereby undercutting the supermarket, and you would have made kd40 and had somewhere to put your laundry.


that 40 could then be reinvested to purchase some 53.3333 option b racks which you could in turn sell for quit a bit more :P

:D

lol can you tell we're both in the finance industry :P
