Geocache Description:

A cache has been planted nearby for those ‘poor’ geocachers, who are dragged along by family or friends, and made to get lost in the labyrinth of displays at the local Swedish Emporium.

You could solve the puzzle as you devour a plate of Swedish meatballs, and then wander outside and search for the cache. When you return, you can help the 'other half' squeeze their purchases into your car, and then comtemplate how long it will take to put together.

Although the size of the cache is listed as micro, it is large enough to hold one or two geocoins.

The co-ordinates listed above were taken from the roof of the multi-level car park, which is a good place to start.

The puzzle:

When I last visited IKEA, I purchased two items. When they were scanned, the prices that showed up on the register were incorrect. They were $148 and $079. I asked the assistant to try again. I was right (the customer always is) and saved myself $037.

Below are the bar-codes. See if you can ‘read’ them, to calculate the correct amount and solve where the cache is hidden.
