Bed Bath & Beyond

Oh Bed Bath and Beyond… you are a homeowners BFF. I, as well as every other bride in existence, registered here for our wedding. The women that assisted us were very helpful and knowledgable of the products. We had a blast going through and checking out all of their fun gadgets; they really do have so much! It’s also super simple for wedding guests to sort through all of your registry.
Remember that informercial you saw at 3 am? They have that, and just about every other «made for TV» product.
Of course, who is going to to talk about BBB without talking about the COUPONS. You got one in 2001? Guess what, it still works. Shocking right? Never step foot in here without 45 20% coupons. Ask your grandma, I’m sure she is hoarding them
somewhere.
Prices aren’t too terrible if you have your coupons. I priced around and BBB was almost always cheaper than Macy’s and other homeware places.
The downside: parking. Being in clearview mall, there is always a fight for parking. Also, I do not like how it is two levels. Not that big of a deal, but I really don’t want to have to worry about my rug from the second level crushing a woman and all of her Snuggies.

This BBB is SO crowded — not only with people, but with stuff. There’s stuff everywhere. And I’m super annoyed by the DIY gift-​wrapping station. If you’re like me (and don’t like spending time wrapping just one wedding present for all to see at a shower), do yourself a favor and go to the one in Mandeville. They gift-​wrap for you, the store is much nicer, bigger, and less crowded.

Since this seems to be the new «it» place for registries, I find myself going here much more than I would like. I always make sure to either take pictures of my phone if the registry number and the items I want on my phone or print out what I’m looking for. Their website is much better than the store.
If you’d like to order something online, it would be much easier on you. When I go in and ask a sales associate a simple question such as «where is this» they NEVER know. They aren’t friendly and hardly ever smile. Customer service here always gets an F.
The only reasons they have any stars is because they are usually tidy and organized. This store carries a few items that cannot be found anywhere else and they also have great deals. I love their coupons.

Ok, it’s Bed Bath and Beyond… nothing to get too excited about, right? Well, this is my go to BBB and I have to tell you the reason for this review is because of one sales associate. His name is Jared and he helped me find a gift on my gf’s registry quickly, use gift cards to pay for it, and helped me use my expired coupons to get the best deal! Dude, this guy rocked!
I agree with my Unilocal friend’s other reviews though that this store is packed from top to bottom. WIth my huge purse I tread carefully when I walk around the store for fear of knocking stuff down. But hey, they accept expired coupons and have cool gadget things. This may sound strange but I really love their spray hand sanitizer. For some reason I haven’t been able to find it lately but I haven’t needed to refresh my supply so haven’t been looking very closely.
I have scoped some things here that I want for my new condo like a leather storage ottoman etc. This is where I got my Real Simple flocked hangers to streamline my closet (yes I’m OCD, I totally own it and want my hangers to all match dammit!). I’m also eyeing a tall lamp for my bedroom and some silver crosses (hey I’m catholic and like that stuff). Perhaps even a huge mirror I can lean against a wall. And even some pretty paintings/​quotes to put up on the walls.
Happy shopping!

Have you ever witnessed a spatula avalanche? Would you like to? This is the kind of place where such a disaster can happen. I have personally witnessed two such events, and I caused neither. (But I’m glad you suspected me of such mischief.) With kitchen, home, and misc goods stacked floor-​to-​ceiling, the possibility of goods raining down is pretty high. I am scared of what will happen when the knives decide to tumble, you know?
Everything is packed just cheek-​to-​jowl in this store, and it’s bugnuts. There is hardly space for my fat ass to even turn around. No, I mean really. I have to hold my breath in the china section to even walk through it. Add in the fact that this store is always packed with shoppers, and you get the idea.
The second floor is pretty nifty, and I love the cart elevator. That alone earns a second star for a nearly unredeemable location of a chain I don’t love. Oh! And there is a self-​wrap station that’s pretty great for folks who just purchased gifts.
Visit if you dare.
Accessibility notes: No room for mobility devices. Shelves to the ceiling. Can get loud at peak hours. No Braille signage.

This Bed, Bath and & Beyond is a hit or miss for me, since I find myself drawn by the big bulls-​eye just down the way for a better range of items I need. That being said, I get about a thousand 20% coupons in my mail so I go in and use them every now and then as well as check things off people’s wedding registry here since Pottery Barn scares me a little and it’s in the mall.
What I like about Bed Bath & Beyond is that I can get a three pack of the face wash pads there for pretty cheap, and they sometimes have fun «As See On TV» things here, i.e. Booty Pop (butt enhancement padding) and the Shake Weight, one of which I bought my mother for Mother’s Day one year, try and guess which one. They have a great variety of hair and skin products, better than most drug store, so I like to peruse.
My gripes is that there always seems to be a line at check out though I feel like there are a good bit of people that work here. This last time I got lucky with customer service check out, but that was this one time, so always be on the lookout if there is someone over there.
If you want to avoid the red bulls-​eye and you’ve got a giant 20% coupon, I’d suggest hitting up the BB&B, but that’s only if you have time.

The epitome of gadget central. Seems like every «made for TV» product has come to live here.
I mean the name IS Bed Bath & BEYOND; & the Beyond is truly Beyond all that you could ask or think. Soooo yeah…
I recommend this place because yeah while you can go to Wally World or Targét (en français Target) but the selections here for household bath & bed items are quite vast. Not to mention the upstairs portion that adds more to this hodgepodge of a store. As stated, this store has lots of «beyond» items & as a result, it seems cluttered & congested; many items to choose from; but no matter just take your time, lots of good finds & bargains are in store for you.
Example: you go in for a throw rug & you exit with a curling iron, shampoo, a «made for TV» frozen cup/​shake maker for the kids, that little Genie bra you’ve been wanting to try & of course the throw rug. So essentially, this place isn’t bad, just make sure you curtail your spending as things can get out of hand, especially when it comes to those «made for TV» products…#DANGERZONEahead.

«Actually we’ve got a nice little Saturday planned. We’re going to Home Depot to pick out some wallpaper, then maybe we’ll hit Bed Bath and Beyond… I don’t know! I don’t know if well have enough time!» –Frank the Tank, Old School
Boyfriend and I went to Lowe’s and BBB today and we felt like losers and like we were becoming one of those couples we hate. What made this trip more bearable was the really cool escalator cart thing. My bf is mechanically-​inclined so he was fascinated.
Noteworthy: Ladies, the thing about this store that makes it better than other BBB’s is that they have a humongous cosmetic section! It is glorious!
Otherwise, it’s pretty standard Bed Bath and Beyond. A million gimmicky bullshit items that you don’t really need. A lot of ugly and tasteless interior décor items. A playground for those most inclined to gluttonous, mindless over-​consumption of petroleum-​based goods. And alas, a few items that you actually need for day-​to-​day living.
I only go here if I can’t find what I need at Target because, in general, I think this store tends to be overpriced.

This place can get a guy who cooks in trouble. BIG trouble. The kind of trouble where your wife will look at the bank account and nearly choke when she sees how much you spent here and then proceed to choke YOU with her bare hands. Yeah this place can be pretty pricey, but I usually find exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to kitchen supplies. Where else can you find a place that sells seven or eight different kind of spatulas? I mean really?

Do not go into this store if you have claustrophobia because dang, this place is packed to the roof with stuff. And what is the cloying potpourri smell? I swear it adds to the trapped feeling.
So, yeah, I’m not too much of a fan. BUT stores like this are a necessary evil. I was hunting for home storage doodahs and after trying all my usual haunts, I found what I needed (and for good prices) here.
Just watch out trying to turn around or you might knock over a display.

BB&B makes my head spin. Crazy business, too many choices, and literally wall to wall and floor to ceiling inventory. All told, a necessary evil.

I think it’s funny that I’m a regular at Bed Bath and Beyond. I mean, you walk in here knowing you don’t need anything, and then you find all this cool stuff that you didn’t ?know you needed! Isn’t that crazy? I like coming here because I feel like it’s an adventure. It’s a great place and not overly expensive.

Seems like I’m in BB&Y more often than I expect. It is seldom a planned destination but the store is quite popular with brides for their registries. Walking through the store, it is easy to see how a young bride armed with the electronic scanner can get carried away, zapping all those neat gizmos and necessities for a new household. I think there is some overall scheme to how the store is organized, but it’s very easy to have to wander throughout the entire store to find everything you are looking for. Maybe that is the logic. The chain has carved out a successful niche in the marketplace. It also has a fairly liberal return policy for store credit.

This place is a clusterfuck. You can’t find shit up in here because everything’s packed in there and stacked to the ceiling, and it’s arranged in weird little alcoves and it’s easy to get lost.
Also, the lines are always like 20 people long. Screw that.
But you can find cheap-​ish stuff there sometimes. Sometimes. I like to wander around and make a list of stuff i want, and then go home and find it for way cheaper on Amazon. Then I don’t have to wait in line or load it into my car or anything.

I’m going to surprise some people with this, but I’ve only recently ever been to a Bed Bath & Beyond. Sure, I’d heard the name, but never been there before. My girl and I were about to take a trip to Atlanta and went to pick up a couple of things for travel.
OH MY GOD. SO MANY THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED!
I can easily spend my entire paycheck just on kitchen gadgets alone. This place is awesome even if it is dangerous to my wallet. Don’t get me wrong, items aren’t expensive, quite the opposite. They’re very reasonably priced and like the puppies at the pound I want to take all of them home. Seriously, I’m a sucker for gadgets and stuff for my little apartment. The only things that stop me are keeping a budget and not having room for everything I want. Guess I’ll need a bigger house.

I love that they send you coupons, and honor them even after they’re expired, or if you forgot your coupons, you can bring it back with receipt to get a price difference. I’ve done this a year after my purchase before… and because the product price dropped, i got the new price too! the people there are always helpful, huge selection. great for my home needs.

This is a great store for home needs. It has everything for your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room that you could need other than large furniture. This is a two-​story store! It even has a cartscalator!!! In addition to the usual bed bath stuff, this store stocks a large selection of beauty products that includes a huge variety of sunblock – probably the best in the city. It also has deodorant, cleaning supplies, razors, etc. Prices are very good. I love the «as seen on tv» products that are throughout the store.
