Unbelievable $2 breakfast deal—Aussies are rushing to grab this limited offer!

As the sun rises over the Land Down Under, the quest for a satisfying and affordable breakfast is a daily ritual for many.

But for those in the know, a hidden find has been serving a hearty start to the day without breaking the bank.

It's a secret that's slowly making its way across the country, and it's time our seniors got in on the action, too!


Imagine tucking into a warm plate of scrambled eggs, savoury pork sausages, and comforting baked beans, all for the astonishing price of just $2.

It sounds too good to be true, especially with the sky-high cost of living.

Yet, this is precisely what Canadian expat Josiah Hein and his wife Jess discovered at an IKEA store in Queensland, Australia.

Josiah, a school teacher who has made Australia his home, couldn't contain his excitement over this budget-friendly find.

He shared his experience in a video that has since gone viral, showcasing the small breakfast option at IKEA's Swedish Restaurant.

'In Australia, you can get a dollar breakfast at IKEA—taxes included. So it's not $2.30, it's just straight up $2,' Josiah said in his video.

'We got a $5 medium breakfast, a $2 small breakfast or a $3 cup of coffee and a cinnamon bun.'


The video captures the couple enjoying their meal, with Josiah humorously opting for a 'lazy double up'—two servings of the small breakfast plus a couple of extra hash browns on the side.

On the other hand, Jess went for the 'big dog'—the large breakfast option costing just $5, which boasts an even more generous spread including bacon rashers, a hash brown, tomato, and mushrooms.

But before you rush out the door, it's important to note that not all IKEA locations offer this incredible deal.

Most stores across Australia sell the small serving for $4 and the large for $10.

The $2 breakfast bonanza is a special treat for early birds at IKEA's two Queensland locations, North Lakes and Logan, available every day until 11 am.

IKEA Family members are the lucky ones who can indulge in this offer, which is part of IKEA's commitment to affordability.


'The Queensland breakfast and National Happy Days food offers at IKEA Australia right now are part of our commitment to affordability – not just when it comes to the furniture at IKEA,' an IKEA spokesperson said.

'We are dedicated to providing the most affordable meals to our customers who we know love a pit stop for our quality, delicious food offering and uniquely Swedish flavours when having a day out shopping in-store at IKEA.'

For those not in Queensland, don't feel left out just yet. IKEA is also running a 'Happy Days' offer, where shoppers can get half-price on selected hot meals for lunch or dinner every Friday until 29 August at all 10 IKEA stores around Australia.

Josiah's video has sparked a wave of excitement online, with viewers expressing their amazement at the deal and lamenting their previous ignorance of such a breakfast bargain.

'So you are telling me all this time when I was living five minutes away from IKEA, I could get $2 breakfast?' one commenter wrote.

'I've lived in Australia for 12 years and didn't know this,' another echoed.


Comments range from disbelief to plans to visit IKEA just for the meal, with some humorously pointing out the only downside: the potential for getting lost in the maze-like layout of the store.

'Wow, that's a good deal right there. Unfortunately, then, you spend three-and-a-half hours trying to find the exit.' one quipped.

So, dear members, it's time to spread the word and perhaps plan a little excursion to IKEA—not just for the flat-pack furniture but for a breakfast that's kind to your wallet and your appetite.

Who knows, this could become your new favourite breakfast spot!

I used to love Ikea's $2 hotdog but they are absolutely disgusting now. I found out they changed to plant based hot dogs and pork hot dogs 🌭

The food in the Ikea restruant is cheap but I will pass,the taste isn't good.

The best value food is at Cosco. A huge pizza 🍕 $15. Taste like you just got it from an Italian Pizza shop.
Their hot chips are nice as well.
 
I once visited an IKEA store just north of the Gold Coast and my PTSD cut in trying to find a way out. My wife, who was with me tried to keep me cool. I finally had to ask directions to get me out of the store. I am a Viet Nam veteran and it wasn't funny. I will not visit another IKEA store.
 
Nothing is given away for how cheap it is. There is always a catch attached to every act they may conjure up.
I suppose the main thing is, that they get you into the store for starters. Once the absolute "Freeloaders" absolutely flood the store & only lining up for the cheapies & nothing else, it'll all come crashing down.
 
And you've only just discovered this, really. Not like it hasn't been around for years. Obviously you've been living under a rock.
 
Three peices of toast and coffee.But my guilty pleasure, and I'm serious, being away and staying at a decent motel with brekky. Tap,tap at 8.00 am, get up scratch, yawn, thank whoever brought it and nosh into bouncy poached eggs,sliding small snags ( they call em something mexican at cafes ) a grilled tomato that's still there from start till finish, bacon you could make a saddle out of and toast still in throat 2hrs later. I luv it. Simple pleasures. No beans or spag but, bit suss, reheats.
