Boscov’s accepting Bed Beth & Beyond coupons

Boscov’s Department Stores announced last week that they are inviting all Bed Bath and Beyond customers to bring their mailed BB&B coupons to any Boscov’s store and exchange it for $10 off any purchase of $50 or more throughout the store from now until May 31.

Jim Boscov, CEO and Chairman of Boscov’s, said, “We’re happy to make those BB&B coupons useful and introduce shoppers to Boscov’s at the same time. They’ll find that we carry many of the same products they’re used to seeing plus a store full of other departments including apparel, cosmetics, jewelry, handbags and more. Best of all, they’ll discover that they don’t need a coupon at Boscov’s to get the best prices every day of the week.”

Boscov’s is celebrating its 109th year as a full-line, full-service department store and is known as much for making shopping fun as it is for offering the best brands at the best prices with incredible service. Boscov’s offers many customer-friendly services, such as a year-round military discount, a gift registry for every occasion, a hassle-free return policy and free curbside pickup. The regional store is located in Erie, Pa. To learn more, visit, www.boscovs.com
