High Street & online sales

Discounts on selected items. Not likely to boost further

The Ikea spring sale started on Monday 23 March in-store and online and runs until Sunday 12 April. It's billed as 'up to 50% off', but we've spotted discounts as large as 92%.

When we checked, there were over 500 products in the sale online. Here are some examples of deals we spotted on Tuesday 24 March:

• Cushion cover, bright orange – £1 (was £3) – 66% off

• Coffee/tea tin – £1.50 (was £3) – 50% off

• Candlestick/candleholder, set of three – £3 (was £7) – 57% off

• Plant pot, black, 15 cm – £4 (was £9) – 55% off

• Insulated flask, black, 0.5l – £5 (was £12) – 58% off

• Duvet cover & pillowcase, dark pink – £10 (was £20) – 50% off

• Cover for 3-seat sofa and chaise longue – £10 (was £135) – 92% off

If you're buying online, or you're ordering items too large for you to transport home yourself, delivery ranges from £5 to £100, depending on the size of your items.

Is Ikea likely to boost the sale discount? Ikea did boost its pre-Christmas sale at the end of last year, but we don't usually see it boost this spring sale, so we don't expect it to this time.

What does ‘up to 50% off' mean?

• Minimum discount we spotted: 6%

• Maximum discount we spotted: 92%

• Typical discount based on 100 random items: 37%

Likely to boost? The sale boosted from 'up to 50% off' to 'up to 70% off' on Monday 22 December. We don't normally see it boost any further, but as it strengthened the deal pre-Christmas instead of its normal post-Christmas boost, there's a chance it could deepen further in January
