I've never been to one but am curious about the quality of furniture collections there vs BRU so I may just venture out to one especially if it means I can use my Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons there. Saving 20% is 20% right. Do they let you the Bed, Bath and Beyond coupons and Buy, Buy, Baby?

Yes, you can use Bed Bath and Beyond coupons, but unlike BB&B they won't take them if they are expired. There are also restrictions on certain brands. I think Buy Buy Baby is more expensive than most places, but they do have some nice things.

I think they sell higher-end stuff at BuyBuyBaby. And, they do take Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupons. Sometimes the coupons will have exclusions on them for certain brands, but definitely still try to use it. When we bought our very $$ glider, we had a coupon that said it couldn't be used on Dutalier gliders, but I brought it to the cashier and he took it and we saved a lot.

I would suggest Great Beginnings too. I didn't have a coupon, but I thought their prices were very competitive and their furniture is really nice. I'm sure all the stores sell them, but we ended up buying a furniture protection plan with them and had to cash it in because the snaps on DD's changing pad completely scratches the top of her dresser. We got a brand new dresser.

We bought our crib at BBB back when we were getting ready for DD #1 and we saved a lot using a 20% coupon (well, FIL save a lot, he bought the crib for us). PP is right, the coupon cannot be expired, whether its Bed Bath and Beyond or Buy Buy Baby, and there are certain brands that are excluded, though I find that is flexible too.

Since then, we bought furniture for the girls' bedroom at Baby2Teen in Manassas and we thrilled with the prices and selection.

It seems around here the MD ladies go to Great Beginnings and the VA ladies go to Baby2Teen to at least look around and get ideas, but also to get great prices.

I think it's fun looking around BBB for ideas though - I go to the one in Springfield and they have cribs to look at to get ideas. Wherever you end up picking one, I'd call B2T and GB and see who has the best price.

BBB wouldn't let me use a Bed Bath & Beyond coupon for furniture, because the coupons are only interchangeable for things that they sell at both stores. Since they don't sell furniture at Bed, Bath & Beyond, you can't use that coupon at BBB. Make sense? Then again, that might have been just the one person I talked to.

I did use a BBB coupon on the furniture though and that worked fine--I even did it retroactively (when we picked it up, they gave us the difference, I think).

We bought our nursery furniture - crib and dresser/changing table - at Buy Buy Baby and I really like it. It's sturdy and of good quality. I'm very happy with it. We used the 20% off Buy Buy Baby coupon they give you when you sign up online and we saved a LOT. I'm not sure if other stores offer this, but for a small amount of money - like $25 - they set it up in the room for us. Money well spent!! The only problem I had was the customer service at the Springfield store. They didn't have the set we wanted in stock - even though they told us when we bought it that they did - and had to make to order so I had to wait a long time and then there was a mix-up... I don't remember. Long story short - they made it sound like we weren't going to have the furniture in time for DD's arrival but it got here in plenty of time, as it turned out.. But I was stressed, you know.

I remember you posting about that. The BBB stores are quite a distance from me. I really don't want to make a wasted trip. Guess I could call but then I worry about someone telling me wrong info. BRU is an hour from our house. Either way I apparently live in the middle of no where, where the selection of stores is very limited.

I think you may have had a rogue cashier, because I used a Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupon to buy a carseat at Buy, Buy, Baby, and I'm pretty sure they don't sell carseats at Bed, Bath and Beyond. There are exclusions on the bottom of Bed, Bath, and Beyond coupons for things that are clearly baby-related, like strollers and carseats, so I think that implies they are interchangeable.

You would be surprised at what Bed, Bath, and Beyond started selling on its website when they acquired BuyBuyBaby. https://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/search/search.aspx/car-seat/?sstr=car+seat&grid=20&dim=1&nty=1&

I love BuyBuyBaby and think they are just the best around for all things baby - the staff's knowledge and their return policies just cannot be matched anywhere. That said, Baby2Teen in Manassas was great for high-quality furniture. We got DS's stuff there and are thrilled with the quality of our Munire dressers.

Ditto tomandcourt - the folks said I had to use a Buy Buy Baby coupon on furniture. Even though they accept competitor and Bed Bath and Beyond coupons for everything else, with furniture it has to be Buy Buy Baby.

That said, if you sign up for their email you'll get emailed a one-time-use 20% coupon, so sign up, have DH sign up, sign up your work email, etc. Just don't do it until you're ready to buy because they expire quick. They'll let you use one for each piece of furniture.

We got all of DS's stuff there and I'm really happy with it.

We bought all of DS's furniture at BBB and you can only use the 20% off BBB coupon that comes out quarterly. It just came out a couple of weeks ago so it won't be out again for a while, BUT, then I bought our stuff, I went on Ebay and bought several of the coupons for mere change and saved hundereds! You can use one coupon per piece of furniture. Head over to Ebay and check it out. Thats what I'm planning to do. As for the quality of furniture, I am very pleased with what we bought. The delivery guys set everything up for us and did a terrific job. I felt at ease knowing that everything was set up correctly:)
