As we've all heard, read, or seen by now, LnT is going out of business. I'll be honest and say that I am not the biggest Linen N Things fan, ( I did take advantage of their almost weekly 20% off coupons) but I will be sad to see them go.
When I originally planned this post it was only going to be a quick little good-bye, but after going to the store to check out their "sales" I changed my mind and this post is now going to be a quick little rant.
This past weekend my mother and I decided to go check out the amazing going out of business sale LnT was having. We get to the store and the biggest discount is 30% off - and the only thing that was marked down that much was window hardware. . . most everything else was only 10% off - you would have gotten a better deal 2 weeks ago when they were still taking their 20% off coupons. This was only mildly annoying so we continued to wander around the store. It was when I found their summer section in the back corner of the store that I got truly annoyed. . . All their summer merchandise was a whooping 10% off their original price!! Now these are things that had been on clearance less than a month ago for up to 75% off. . . and the worst part was that they didn't even do a good job of covering up the clearance prices, you could still read the old much cheaper price through the marker. . . so basically a originally $20 raft that had been on clearance just a few weeks ago for $5 was now $18!! That is insane - who marks up prices when they are going out of business?!
Okay, my rant is finished.

I know exactly what you are talking about with the prices, it's like they raised all the prices just to make it seem like you are getting a percentage off.
I'm sorry; but when I can go to the other big-box stores and still get a cheaper price, something is wrong with that picture.
nice stuff
I noticed this the other day!! You can go over to bed, bath and beyond and actually pay less and you can return the item if it doesn't work out! Totally a scam!
i do not either of the linens or bbb stores. the strong smell at the door turns me away,then usually if you watch a tjmax type store you will find a better price for a better product.
