I'm not real sure how they decide where to put them... probably a little of both. They never seem to be too far from a Linen's N Things though LOL! Maybe try writing them? I know what you mean about gas prices... geesh! I'm glad that I live really close to all the places I coupon, but 45 min... you'd be spending your 20% off just on gas! LOL!

My BBB doesn't take expired coupons any more. :(

What discount do you get as an employee at BBB?

[bigsweetie]

Whaaaattt?? That's ridiculous!! They're gonna lose out to LNT then! That's crazy!

The discount is 20%... basically you just don't need a coupon! Not that great, IMO, but if your store doesn't take expireds anymore it might be worth it.

I'd write corporate about that... BBB is really big on giving the customers what they want... almost to a fault! I'll write them too! Which store is it?

I was told that the store in S. Portland (Maine) was closing does anyone know if this is true.

I'm not affiliated with them in any way...I just wanted to add that BB&B has the best customer service of any store I've ever shopped. (At least this is true of the one in my area.)

I'm on their bridal registry and they have been nothing but super to me and my fiance. Also, their wrapping crew is awesome...it's some of the best wrapping I've ever seen.

I've only ever had one thing break, and that would be very heavy beer mugs that I'm convinced UPS threw into a wall. The box looked like it had been to war.

Thanks for all these tips! My fiance wondered why I horded coupons so much! :)

Thanks, my brother is registered there so it's nice to know what options there are if they don't have an item. Thanks also for the tip on Februaury!

Thanks for all the information. I used to toss my expireds but not anymore (hopefully I can remember to keep them)

Where do we get the coupons from? I never see them, maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I love BBB. Thanks for all of those great tips.

The coupons come in the mail.
