Brace yourselves. I bet you didn’t know this…all those 20% off coupons you get in the mail regularly from Bed Bath and Beyond are more valuable than you think. How about using that BBB coupon to take 20% off a Maclaren stroller, or a new baby crib, or anything else at Babies R Us?
I know what you’re thinking…why would BRU accept BBB coupons right? Well start spreading the news…they do! A friend of mine witnessed this recently at a BRU store in New Jersey. According to the cashier, BRU (wisely) doesn’t publicize the fact that they take competitor coupons. So how are these 2 stores related? They’re not. However, Bed Bath and Beyond owns/partners with Buy Buy Baby. In fact, I just checked the Buy Buy Baby corporate page and confirmed the 2 are related. Wow! I wish I knew this when I had to buy all my baby gear. My daughter is now 2.5 and we’ve already spent a fortune at Babies R Us. I hope this post helps some of you save lots of money. Let me know in the comments section.
Update 1: I’ve emailed Toys R Us support about this and the front line support folks have not denied this yet. They have escalated higher in the chain for confirmation. I’ll post the news as soon as I hear back.
Update 2: Response back from R Us:
Thank you for contacting Babies”R”Us.
We appreciate your reaching out to us regarding your concerns relating to the use of Bed Bath and Beyond coupons at your local Babies”R”Us store. At this time it is not all stores that take these coupons,you would have to contact your local store for full details on the coupon policy.
Sincerely,
