Ikea might be your one-stop shop for furnishing your living room on a budget, but it's also one of the best places for affordable kitchen products. Take it from me and a handful of POPSUGAR editors who have personally found a list of Ikea items we swear by that we wouldn't waste our time (or money) buying them anywhere else. If you're in need of a few new kitchen staples, like spatulas and saucepans, consider yourself lucky to have found this tried-and-true list.

Rubber Spatulas

"I actually have a slew of Gubbröra Rubber Spatulas ($1) from Ikea, and they cost me $1 each, and I love them. They're sturdy but lightweight, and they're basically perfect." — Hedy Phillips, editor, Living

Grater With Handle
