Bed Bath & Beyond filed for bankruptcy last week and is now in the process of selling off their remaining inventory before they go out of business and/or find a buyer. They only gave people a few days to use their “Big Blue” 20% off coupons and that window is now closed. If you didn’t get to use yours, don't throw them away yet. According to Lifehacker, some Bed Bath & Beyond competitors are now accepting them for a limited time.

This may actually work out better for you because many customers have reported being unimpressed by the Bed Bath & Beyond store closing sales. In other words, just because Bed Bath & Beyond is selling everything before they close their stores for good, that doesn't necessarily mean they're slashing prices by very much.

Here’s where you can use your Bed Bath & Beyond coupons in the Charlotte area:

  • The Container Store - Your Bed Bath & Beyond mailer will get you 20% off a single item at any of the chain’s 95 locations through May 31st. The coupon can’t be expired and some brands are not included in the discount.
  • JOANN - The fabric and craft store tweeted that they’ll honor 20% off a single item in stores. Coupons can’t be expired and will be valid through their printed expiration date.
  • Big Lots - They’ll take your 20% off coupon, even if it IS expired, on any purchase of $50 or more through May 7th.

If you're traveling north in May, you can also use your Bed Bath & Beyond coupons at Boscov’s. This regional department store has locations in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. They're offering customers a “coupon exchange” that gives them $10 off an in-store purchase of $50 or more through May 31st.

These 37 North Carolina Stores Were Fined For Overcharging Customers

With prices skyrocketing around us it can seem like what you are being charged is incorrect. I have no idea how that grocery bill adds up as quick as it does, and for nothing, it seems. And while most of the time it's just the prices, they could be overcharging you. Every year the North Carolina state government audits stores to make sure they are charging consumers the correct listed prices and not overcharging. This year the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services collected fines from 37 stores in 22 counties due to excessive price-scanner errors.

This is monitored by the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in an attempt to keep stores honest. They believe many of the issues come from a lack of staff making it harder for stores to keep up. This essentially means that when rung up prices are showing higher than what they are marked on the shelves.

If you are shopping and realize an item rings up for a different price than advertised make sure to bring it to the attention of a manager. If you'd like to report a store for violations call 984-236-4750. Stores can be issued fines even if what they are doing isn't breaking the law.

You can read more details about how these fines are issues and specific violations of individual stores on the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services website. Keep reading to see which North Carolina stores have been charged fines for overcharging customers.
