I shop here all the time. The trick for saving at Gymboree is to buy off-season clothes. Last summer I bought all of my son's winter clothes for a fraction of the price! There clothes run a little bigger so he was able to wear them the whole season. I just make sure that I visit the store a couple times a month to check sizes and deals. Once your child outgrows the clothes, most consignment shops will pay top dollar for their clothes. It's worth it to me.
Great clothing - dress your kids like KIDS, not teens. aamzing sales and promotions and check out GYMBUCKS - makes your future purchases %50 off, and that can be off of already clearanced merchandise!! washes the BEST and lasts through several children!
