Bed Bath & Beyond has one of the most generous return policies out there — you don’t even need a receipt if the item is unused — and 20% off coupons have virtually become synonymous with the retailer.
You likely already have a stack of Bed Bath & Beyond coupons since they come in the mail so often, but if you don’t, check online and print one out before you head to the store. While you might find better deals at other stores, Bed Bath & Beyond price matches items from other retailers as long as it isn’t sold by a marketplace.
That doesn’t mean that everything sold at the chain is a worthy buy. Whether because of price, selection, or quality, there are a number of items that should be skipped over.
We turned to the experts to help us separate the good from the bad when it comes to shopping at Bed Bath & Beyond.
Buy: Crock-Pot Choose-a-Crock
Bed Bath & Beyond
If you are a slow-cooker fan, you’ve probably encountered a time when you wished your Crock-Pot were a different size.
"Bed Bath & Beyond carries the Choose-a Crock, which features 6-quart, 4-quart, and Split 2.5-quart capacity pots all in one unit," shopping expert Trae Bodge told Business Insider. "This item is ‘exclusive’ to Bed Bath & Beyond and priced at $99, but I did find it on Amazon for $120."
Don’t buy: Ring video doorbells
Ring
"Ring video doorbells have become wildly popular and while they are comparably priced on Amazon at the time of this writing, Amazon has been known — especially during Amazon Prime Day — to deeply discount the Ring and offer bundles with Amazon proprietary devices, like the Echo Dot," Bodge said.
Buy: SALT 2-piece Double Boiler
Bed Bath & Beyond
Double boilers are handy for melting chocolate and sauces. "This version is an exclusive to Bed Bath & Beyond and is versatile enough to be used on induction stovetops as well as standard," Bodge said. "It’s priced at $30, where similar options from other brands are in the $35 and above price range."
