GYMBUCKS are very addicting to bargain hunters and I am definitely qualified.

I began to search for bargains for cute boy's clothing when my grandson was born. I learned of Gymboree from a friend, began shopping, and have been hooked ever since.

I also sell Gymboree clothing in my eBay store, Mimi's Discount Boutique so learning to use GYMBUCKS was very important!

First of all, sign up for Gymboree's newsletter or better yet, a Gymboree information site (they give you the dates and news earlier than Gymboree does) such as www.gymbohaven.com - this will let you know when GYMBUCKS are being offered.

Second, make sure you still get you Gymboree bargains while earning Gymbucks by using those coupons! I usually shop for my grandsons during earning times by waiting until Gymboree offers 30% off sale prices, that way I get great deals on their clothes as well.

You earn Gymbucks in $25 increments. For instance, if you buy $50 worth of clothes, then you earn $25 dollars of Gymbucks. When you spend Gymbucks, you get $50 of clothing (new or sale items) for $25.

I usually purchase my items to resell with Gymbucks. Sometimes I use Gymbucks to purchase brand new items, thus getting them for half price. I use this strategy to make immediate money on eBay. Sometimes I have done pretty well, sometimes just break even. The most profit is from buying sale items with Gymbucks and then listing them in my store. Sometimes, they will have to sit in the store a little while because the best sales are usually at the end of a current buying season. But, it generally costs me $0.05 a month to keep an item in my store - that's just $0.60 a year, so it is worth it!!

GYMBUCKS coupons are offered approximately 3-5 times per year. The coupons are distributed and redeemed during specific dates and allow you to save up to 50% off of your redemption purchase.

Just a hint: some stores let you "PreSale" - meaning you can shop the day before GYMBUCKS actually begins and they will hold the items about 24 hrs. for you - but if you don't go back and purchase them within that time, someone else get your goodies!
