What is that thing on my eyelid and is it going to kill me?įarewell, old friend. Truly the only thing I won’t miss about BB&B was catching my image in the terrifying display of 30x magnifying mirrors. Who knew there were so many ways to soothe arthritic shoulders and achy feet? She loved them all. I’ll never forget the seasoned employee nodding knowingly as I blubbered “b-b-b-but it’s her first box of HANGERS!”īB&B was my go-to for all those weirdly useful warming gadgets for my dear mother-in-law every Christmas. It was the first and last time I ever got emotional over buying a shower curtain. The store closest to UNC-Chapel Hill was astonishing in its prep for thousands of teary parents and their eye-rolling freshmen. Where else could you buy, in one stop, an All Clad waffle iron, incense, Brookstone towel warmer, Scrub Daddy AND root beer flavored Twizzlers?īed Bath & Beyond’s closing reminded me of four years of restocking assorted dorm rooms and apartments for the Princess.

It always had an Island of Misfit Yogurt Makers vibe to it, super messy and picked over but if you were willing to plunder a bit you might find something fabulous at a crazy discount. BB&B had solutions for problems I didn’t even know I had! Sturdy clear acrylic bins just to hold eggs, which seemed safer in their carton but what do I know? Liners for your sink, your dresser drawers, your cookie sheets, your litter box, your other liners! So many liners! I loved that big boxy store with towels and comforters stacked literally to the ceiling and smelling like a fragrant mix of sneaker balls and floor wax. She used it and didn’t even turn around to say thanks. Use this,” I shoved a crumpled 20 percent off coupon at her. “Are you seriously going to pay full price for that anti-fatigue gel kitchen mat?” I heard myself hiss to the woman in front of me. Claus and share coupons from “the pouch” with clueless customers in line. So, yeah, maybe I was part of the problem. Almost.Īmateur shoppers foolishly tossed their coupons after the expiration date, but I never had any trouble using an expired coupon. I mean, talk about giving away the store! Of course, now they’re all as worthless as a shirtless Mark Zuckerberg NFT. I’m starting to see why BB&B went belly up. I had a ton of 20 percent offs, a few precious $15 offs, and more than a few $5 offs. More: Celia Rivenbark: Country stars trying to find a beer to cry in
