Bed Bath & Beyond will splash out $100,00 on a home renovation for the thriftiest couponer of 2026
Shoppers have been hunting for ways to make their dollars count for decades, and now, the longest-running savers have a shot at scoring big on their dusty stash of discounts. And now, the homeware chain Bed Bath & Beyond is giving its thriftiest shopper a $100,000 home makeover—they just need to bring in the oldest coupon to date. Bed Bath & Beyond’s “Legendary Coupon Hunt” is underway. And participants must bring in their iconic blue-and-white coupons to Bed Bath & Beyond + The Container Store and Kirkland’s Home locations by July 13 to qualify. There’s no doubt there will be a deluge of loyal customers vying to cash in on their oldest savings keepsake. The grand prize of the competition is a $100,000 home renovation, alongside $500 gift cards awarded to 100 top entrants, and $100 in spending money for another 50 winners. “For decades, our customers treated these coupons like treasure,” said Amy Sullivan, President of Bed Bath & Beyond, Inc, said in the announcement. “They tucked them into purses, filing cabinets, cookbooks and memory boxes because they believed they would be valuable someday.

And the coupon hunt is reviving the nostalgia of print coupons as old-school bargain-hunting culture has made its way to the internet. From this competition moving forward, store locations plan to go back to accepting coupons in whatever state
