In theory, yes, I agree. But make sure you properly value yourself! You only have so much time to give.
My dude, if you can’t assemble the shelf just go pay more for one that is built. No one needs to run around computing their implicit value for such a simple task.
Not really. Their business model is, let’s have the customers do the work then we can charge them less cause we’re not paying workers. Just a heads up, that’s what shadow work is.

When is comes to Ikea, what you pay in time is taken off the price, according to my experience
That’s their literal business model.

You are basically explaining to me how I spend my time to save money. My answer? Yup.
Same with Aldi. And you better bring your quarter and own bags.
At least it’s good exercise
My dude here opening a Heathkit and being like “why the fuck did I pay less to have to assemble everything?!”
