With Bed Bath & Beyond
filing for bankruptcy, all bets may be off for using the famous 20% off
coupons.
Consumer Reporter Janice
Lieberman has The Real Deal on why it's a great time to buy all those
home and baby goods.
Bed Bath & Beyond is
shutting its doors and hundreds of their stores are closing. So what should you
do with the coupons you have been hoarding? Throw them out because they are no
good anymore.
It’s time to
get ready for liquidation sales, where you may be able to pick up a bargain
while there is still goods to get.
Returns and exchanges will be
accepted for items purchased before April 26, and you will have until May 24 to
do so. However, inventory will be limited for exchanges.
Hundreds of stores are set to
close on June 30.
According to the FAQ’s on the
store’s website, couples and parents registered with Bed
Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby may get help with their registries by using
their third party vendors.
Parents and couples can still
use gift cards until May 8. Welcome rewards and store credits can be used until
May 15, as long as the merchandise holds out.
Meanwhile, if you ordered
something online, your order should still be OK.
Consumers are advised to
transfer their registry to another retailer to make sure it is fulfilled, and
items will be in stock.
