Summary:
  • Bed Bath & Beyond is offering a $100,000 home makeover to the person who finds the oldest surviving coupon.
  • Shoppers can bring old, faded, or expired coupons to participating stores until July 13.
  • The contest also includes 100 winners of a $500 gift card and 50 winners of a $100 gift card.

Bed Bath & Beyond is breathing new life into its famous blue coupon, giving shoppers who kept one a chance to win. The company is running a countrywide search called the "Legendary Coupon Hunt" to find the most ancient Bed Bath & Beyond coupon still in existence, with the top prize being a $100,000 home makeover.

From now until July 13, participants can present their old coupons at any participating location operated by Bed Bath & Beyond, The Container Store, or Kirkland's Home nationwide.

Bed Bath & Beyond encourages individuals to search every nook and cranny of their homes - from dresser drawers and car consoles to storage boxes and photo albums - for any forgotten coupons.

For decades, the blue coupon has been a hallmark of Bed Bath & Beyond's marketing, frequently appearing in mailboxes and newspaper inserts. The promotion now brings together multiple home brands under the company's umbrella - Cabinets To Go, Lumber Liquidators, The Container Store, and Kirkland's - offering a comprehensive home-improvement experience. This legacy of savings has fostered deep customer loyalty, and the hunt is designed to tap into that enthusiasm.

Amy Sullivan, president of Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc., said in a statement, "For decades, our customers treated these coupons like treasure. They tucked them into purses, filing cabinets, cookbooks and memory boxes because they believed they would be valuable someday. We think they were right."

Sullivan added, "The Legendary Coupon Hunt is our way of celebrating the customers who helped build this brand while creating one of the biggest customer events in our history."

Bed Bath & Beyond's iconic blue coupon has been a staple of American shopping culture for decades, often arriving in mailboxes or tucked into newspapers. This promotion honors that tradition while combining various home brands owned by the company, including Cabinets To Go, Lumber Liquidators, The Container Store, and Kirkland's. The $100,000 makeover prize is designed to transform multiple rooms, offering a comprehensive home improvement experience.

The company stated that all coupons, even those that are faded or expired, will be accepted and entered into the sweepstakes. The grand prize winner can transform their home with products from Cabinets To Go, Lumber Liquidators, Kirkland's, The Container Store, and Bed Bath & Beyond.

According to the company, the grand prize recipient can redesign multiple rooms using items from renowned home brands, resulting in a more attractive, practical, and tailored living space.

The blue coupon has been a recognizable symbol for Bed Bath & Beyond shoppers over the years, frequently found in direct mail and newspaper inserts. The Legendary Coupon Hunt is designed to celebrate this history and the customer loyalty it represents. By inviting shoppers to dig through old belongings, the retailer hopes to reconnect with a community that has long treasured these small paper savings.

Common Investing Mistakes: Why a Stock Grade Is One Tool, Not the Whole Toolkit
  • The Briefs Score shows growth, income, and wealth preservation investors how well a stock fits their goal, with a separate letter grade for each one.
  • The most common mistake is treating the letter as an instruction. An A tells you a stock scores well for one goal, not that you should buy today.
  • Research works best as one input in a process you own. The grade shows how a stock stacks up. You supply the goal, the timeline, and the rules for being wrong.

  • Before you buy anything, ask one question: does this put money in my pocket, or take money out of my pocket? Then you need a plan for the money you keep.
