If you've ever walked into Bed Bath & Beyond with five items on your to-get list and walked out with 20 purchases, you're not alone. Luckily there are plenty of ways to save at this home goods mega-store. Here are 15.
1. Subscribe to Its Emails
Sign up to receive emails from BB&B and you'll get 20% off one in-store purchase right away, plus plenty more exclusive offers and promotions directly to your inbox on a regular basis.
2. Provide the Store With Your Address
Emails usually come every week or two from BB&B with coupon offers, but if you provide your address you'll receive offers through snail mail as well. While some of these coupons come with expiration dates printed on them, the store usually accepts coupons past those dates.
3. Stack Multiple Coupons
While most coupons say they're good for only one purchase (although every now and then you might be lucky enough to get a 20% off your entire purchase option), you can stack your coupons by making multiple purchases, especially if they're done online (just make sure you qualify for free shipping on your orders, otherwise it doesn't make much sense to do this).
4. Shop Competitors for Better Offers
Bed Bath & Beyond will match any direct competitor's price for identical items, as long as they meet these conditions.
5. Use Price-Matching & a Coupon
While it's not always available, if the competitor with the better price would allow you to apply a coupon as well, Bed Bath & Beyond will allow you to do the same. Otherwise, they apply the best discount — either the coupon or the price-match option.
6. Get a Manufacturer's Coupon
BB&B also accepts manufacturer's coupons at their stores, plus you can …
7. Cash in on a Manufacturer's Coupon & a Price Match
Double your savings by doing some research for better prices at a competing store, and then find a manufacturer's coupon for the item and BB&B will let you use both. (Remember, this must be a manufacturer's coupon, not a competitor's coupon.)
8. Hold on to Receipts to Cash in on Coupons Later
Save those receipts for your recently purchased items at BB&B. If you receive a coupon a couple days later, the store will still honor the discount.
9. Ask for Price Adjustments on Sale Items
Even if you don't get a coupon in the mail, if an item you just purchased goes on sale, bring the item and your receipt in for a price adjustment.
10. Get a Bed Bath & Beyond Credit Card
The brand's MasterCard gives frequent shoppers 5% back for every $1 spent at its stores, 2% back per $1spent on gas and groceries and 1% back anywhere else. Just be sure to pay your balances off in full; otherwise, you'll be paying a variable purchase annual percentage rate (APR) of 24.49%, 18.49%, or 14.49%, depending on your creditworthiness.
