Gymboree

What is up with these people? they sure know how to sucker you into buying things!! First off, I am a bargain shopper and would never pay full "Gymboree" prices so I thrive on the deals they have going on- they have a time that you are able to earn gym bucks-for every $50.00 you spend you get $25 worth of gym bucks-during this time they have something called a peel a prize-when you arrive at the store you are given a little ticket that has either a 10%,15%,20%, or a 50% ticket, not to mention a possible $1,000 shopping spree. so you get to save money and get gym bucks to be redeemed at a later date, and the excitement of peeling off that ticket is fun too, guess who got 50% off??yep, so gotta buy more, GYMBUCK,GYMBUCK,GYMBUCK..........at a later date when it is time to redeem your bucks, you are really excited to finally redeem your gymbucks-you hurry to the store to make sure you get some good buys because things GO FAST!! Of course, if you are a shopaholic you are buying one size bigger for next summer because your children couldn't possibly need another pair of shorts for this summer. (since you bought all this with your last gym bucks) not to mention Tyler probably wont fit into a 2T for years......so why does he have a whole drawer full???? So you redeem your Gymbucks and you receive a little promotional card for their back to school shopping which starts at the end of the month. EVERYTHING in the store is $10,$15,or $20.WOW, so that cute little heart jacket you wouldn't possibly pay $34.50 for will now be on sale for $20.........you drive home from the mall justifiying the fact that this will be a $14 saving and you try and remember the date of the sale-(of course, you will receive an email anyway so why bother remembering) not to mention the circle of friends promotion or the random 20% coupons you receive in the mall for being such a GREAT customer.................Did I mention they just put a Gymboree Outlet store at the Auburn super mall??? 5 minutes from my house?........I need to stop the madness but my kids sure look cute!!
