Same way as IKEA restaurants were serving decent quality food for dimes.

It was business decision. People were thinking - we have a day off, we could go there and there, do some shopping, and then we go there for food, or we could go to the IKEA and eat there.

If you're "slave to the IKEA" and want to cherish your free day with consumerism, it was a no brainer if you wanted to shop on a budget and eat for free.

Unforntuantely, catalogues are gone and so are days of cheap food in IKEA.

Depends on where you are. my Ikea still has all the cheap food you and I remember. Could be something stateside (if you are there).
