IKEA: Sign of the times

We were running by IKEA yesturday when we noticed that the Kid's club is no longer going to offer freebies (ending June 1). Those of you who don't know, IKEA had a club card you scanned at the front entrance and got items like a free toy or free drink from the resturant, and sometimes a free kids meal! While it's not closing it's playroom (thankfully!) I was sad to see it go. I also noticed a lot of prices slashed unbelievably low. I guess even a giant like IKEA is feeling the pinch of this economic crisis.
I have to admit, with our very limited income, we didn't come away with any purchases either. No liquidity of cash, so no spending. We are thinking about going to a thrift store to find the stool we are looking for. At least the Reuse movement has better incentives these days. I have to wonder out there, what's your strategy for saving a dime?
