How to buy Gymboree clothes at wholesale(or close).

Ever wondered how all those moms are dressing their child in such cute clothes on such a tight budget? Well, here is the answer you have been waiting for.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Computer
• Internet
• Practical Thinking Skills

1. First of all, you have to know your gymboree clothing lines. By this I mean, you need to know what the previous year’s lines were. Gymboree will start marking down the previous years lines to make room for the new lines. www.gymbohaven.com is a great site for identifying the gymboree clothing line. And it’s completely free. Though they do accept donations to keep it running.

2. Then you need to know on what days of the week Gymboree marks their clothing down. These days are usually Mondays and Thursdays. They really good markdowns usually happen on Monday. That means, if you have a computer, and if you are reading this you do, you can get online after midnight and get first dibs on the new marked down stuff. I like to wait until items are marked down to at least 60% off. The online store will tell you at the top of the page when you click on a line that is on sale, how much of a markdown there is. Also, Gymboree will mark lines down in this order 20%, then 40%. then 60%. So if you want to wait until an item is marked down more, it will still be a few weeks after the initial markdown. Gymboree is always getting new lines, so they have to make room. This is why they mark stuff down so often.

3. Here’s the big saving strategy. Whenever Gymboree has a sale, such as additional 20% off of already marked down items, you can still use coupons. The key is to try to stock up on coupons and place more than one order in order to get the most savings.
   
   Gymboree also runs sales and promotions in the stores such as 25% off everything. I will list some of the sales below.
   Circle of Friends- 30% off entire purchase. This is a coupon/coupon code sale
   Buy more save More- $10 off a $50 purchase, $25 off a $100 purchase, and so on
   Friends & Family- 25% off entire purchase. Also a coupon/coupon code sale.
   You can also get a Gymboree Visa and get 5% off each purchase.

4. You can go to Gymboree online to sign up for all their sales and receive coupons in the mail.
   
   So, for example, right now Gymboree is running a 20% off already marked down merchandise. There are also 20% coupons that expire on February 25. If you use a coupon on an item that is already marked down then you will get an additional 40% off the markdown.

5. 

   Then don’t forget the advantage of eBay. You can sell your used gymboree items that are in good condition on eBay for possibly more than you paid for them if you got them marked down. People are crazy about Gymboree clothes.
