Martin Lewis reveals how families can get Ikea meals every week starting at just 45p
FAMILIES struggling to make ends meet can now feed their children for just 45p thanks to Ikea's family savings card.
The cheap dinners were highlighted on Martin Lewis' money show - and the saving could prove vital for parents as bills continue to skyrocket.
The potentially life-saving deals were pointed out by the money saving expert on his ITV show last night.
In a segment of the show he reminded Brits that they can join Ikea's 'IKEA family club' completely free and reap the 50% off food deals every Friday.
Meals on offer for family members include their staple Swedish meatballs for £2.45, tomato pasta for a tiny £1.35 - and children can get the same dish for just 45p.
On the show, Martin Lewis, said: "50% off at Ikea restaurants for family members every Friday until August 30.”

For the furniture store's current family scheme members, it was said that the discount will be automatically added when paying for food.
And for those who are not yet members, all you need to do is head to the store's site and sign up.
As well as the 50% off on Friday deals, children can eat in any store in the country for 95p from 11am.
Meals on offer include pasta dishes that include a drink for 95p - or a meal deal for just £1.50.
What's even better is the deals will remain in place until August and while children are filling up on food, parents can enjoy free hot drinks in the week when showing their family card.
WHAT IS THE IKEA FAMILY CARD?
- IKEA Family was first launched in 1952 by their founder, Ingvar Kamprad, who opened a customer club called "Silverklubben".
- It's more modern re-launch took place in 1984 when their Swedish Linköping branch opened the popular club once again to their loyal customers.
- The Ikea family card is advertised as a club that anyone can join, on their site they say: "Some clubs for the select few, but IKEA Family is for everyone."
- The club is free to join by heading to their website and signing up, once signed up customers can expect to get member discounts, free hot drinks, specialist workshop and event invites and free cover on items until they're assembled at home.
The reminder will come as a welcome helping-hand to mums and dads - and anyone - who is feeling the pinch after a busy end to 2023 and rising energy bills n 2024 that are forcing Brits to decrease their quality of life.
