Linens ‘n Things sucks.

If I couldn’t find something at Target (which totally rocks) I would opt to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond because they were always a couple bucks cheaper than Linens N Things, plus they honored any competitor’s coupons, PLUS sent out coupons of their own. Granted the whole 20% off any SINGLE item was kind of a drag, but whatever, at least they offered some sort of incentive to buy. Linens N Things? Not such luck. As a matter of fact, they are going out of business in California and most southern California stores are going out of business and promoting an “everything must go’ sale, but check this out: upon scrambling in the parking lot and looking for a place to park, I finally got in…to a whole 10% off sale.

OMG. I was beyond pissed. 10% off? Plus there was a big ol sign at the register saying ‘ALL SALES FINAL” and “NO COUPONS”. Great. So not only are you paying over the regular price at Target, but you are sifting through mismatches and leftovers. No wonder they are going out of business – 10%? Blah.

I ended up going to JC Penny and getting some throw pillows for 40% off a regular price marked lower than the Linens’ N Things sale price PLUS I got an additional 15% off with the in-store coupon. I feel almost insulted that Linens had the nerve to waste my time. I mean, it’s not like their stuff is any higher quality than any other home store…you know? Get with it. And give me a break while you’re at it.
