OH, to be in college again....

Furnishing a dorm room is a lesson in economy, both of space, and of cash. IKEA and Target are both rolling out their college line of home dec, and even those of us post-grad can pick up some good deals and space-saving solutions.

IKEA hadn't opened anywhere near me when I left for college, lo these many years ago.

But how lucky to live now, in this brave new age, when IKEAS are popping up like toadstools in every major metropolitan area. Kids these days don't know how lucky they are.....Ikea has a fun, flashy page set up to help you get your decoratin' on. And tonight, from 6-9, you might even win your entire purchase! Bring a valid H.S. Senior ID or college ID card, and who knows!

And over at Target if you spend $125 you get 15% off your online purchase! I think I'm going to snag these bright pink baskets for myself.
