Ikea trip rules...
1) Always know what you want to buy and check it's in stock.
2) Always locate the item before entering the shop
3) go late in the day.... I find if I arrive at mine about 7.30/8.00 pm it's alright
4) Never go all the way round the shop, learn the shortcuts
5) never go at the weekend
6) never take anyone with you
I've got Ikea shopping down to a fine art; my PB is 65 minutes door to door
