IDK maybe it varies by area and what you a re looking for but almost all my furniture is thrifted/scavenged and I think the most I paid for a single thing was a 100 bucks. I go to a local thift store not one of the big chains. I also don't have to buy with any sort of time pressure.
E: the idea that it invalidates IKEAs existence is crazy though.
Thrifting gets pricey nowadays. I've had better luck scouring FB Marketplace and Craigslist for curb alerts, if not trawling around the neighborhood looking for stuff to pluck up and take home myself. For free, even!
