Bed, Bath & Beyond couponing policy works

Companies promise to do something for you, but will they come through?

Awhile ago I told you about Bed, Bath & Beyond's promise to honor its policy if you came back to the store later with a 20 percent off coupon.

Does it work? Sure does. Here's the back story: Our clothes washer broke on a weekend and the last pair of sheets was in the washer. I was working on a freelance story so I asked my husband to go to BBB and buy another pair of sheets with a set of extra pillow cases. I gave him two 20 percent off coupons.

When he returned, he said he bought two extra sets of pillow cases because we have different size pillows. And he reminded me of the policy.

We went back to the store and the sales clerk didn't blink. She credited the 20 percent to our credit card. Not bad, huh? This is something to keep in mind during tough times.

Another tip from a friend: Keep your coupons in the car and you won't have to waste gas going back to the store. Great advice.
