The store closest to me is telling customers that the chain will soon stop accepting expired coupons (apparently stores in Chicago already have stopped).

So this may be the time to start using all those coupons you have been saving. I probably have at least 50. Used one today with a 2002 expiration date!

We get one in the mail/newspaper about every week, so having a current coupon hasn't been a problem.

yea, me too..... but I hate it that you can't use it online.... it says "in store only"

I had not heard that, the one in Deerfield, Il would always give you a discount even if you had forgotten your coupon

true, but you can also use several coupons in one transaction (5 items, 5 coupons,) so having the expired ones around has been nice.

Their coupons drive me bananas. They are oversized and do not easily fit into our coupon holder. Since they take any, we would hold them forever; 50 sounds about right. I would get so fed up with a huge stack that I would secretly throw some out without telling my wife. It just added to the inordinate amount of paper I feel I have in my house. I think I'm happy to hear this news.

You can use expired coupons????

They used to accept Linens and things coupons as well. My mom and i would use a coupon per item...sometimes 10 -15 at a time....

Who KNEW??? This is what I get for "following the rules" in life!!

They've taken expired coupons since they opened. Now, with Linen & Things gone, there is less competition so they are stopping.

I would still save them--they are getting a lot of push back from customers who are unhappy about this change, so they could rescind it after a while.

Oh my! I just used about 15 coupons getting the keet outfitted for dorm life. I still have about 10 left. I'll be using those ASAP!

And I used Linens N Things coupons at BBB and BBB coupons at LTN until they closed.....expired or not they both used to take them all the time. I actually liked LTN more than BBB...

This is going to crush my wife if they stop accepting those expired coupons, she will go in use three or four at a time.

Same thing I thought of. I've never used expired ones.

Count me among the clueless! I always thought expiration dates meant expired!

Just be careful when shopping in the "Beyond" section.
