Bed Bath & Beyond: 2 other retailers to offer discounts for customers with

After filing for bankruptcy, Bed Bath & Beyond has stopped accepting its iconic blue coupons – but don’t throw them all out just yet.

When the retailer launched its closing sales on Wednesday, most stores stopped accepting those coupons that were a staple of the company’s marketing program for decades.

But at least two other retail chains are stepping in, saying customers can bring in their Bed Bath & Beyond coupons for discounts at their own stores.

The discount chain Big Lots said it will accept Bed Bed & Beyond coupons, even expired ones, at its stores through May 7.

Shoppers who bring in the coupons will receive 20% off their entire purchase of $50 or more.

Ohio-based Big Lots operates more than 1,400 stores across the country.

The Container Store said it will accept a “competitor’s blue coupon” for a 20% discount off a single item. The offer is valid through May 31 and cannot be combined with other discounts or sales or used to purchase a gift card.

The Container Store, based in Texas, operates more than 95 stores in 33 states.
