Ikea Trofast
My mom called yesterday and she was at the goodwill in Aberdeen. They had an Ikea Trofast for $15.00 and did I want it. Ummm Yes I want it.
If I would have went to Ikea and paid for it, I would have paid $121.49.
About 2 years ago I found my first Trofast at the thrift store in HDG it did not have any storage boxes with it but it was only $20. Then I went to Ikea and spent $24 for boxes.
So for a total of $56.50 I have 2 Ikea Trofast Frames, 12 storage boxes and 5 lids. I would have spent a total of $235.48 if I went to Ikea for both of the Trofast systems.
