The Fill-A-Bag sale will NOT be starting on 3/18/10, as had been previously planned

Apparently Gymboree feels that all the current lines, and sales in general, are doing fine as they are, so no need for a FAB sale just yet.

The general consensus is that it is merely postponed, not flat-out cancelled, but no word yet on when it will be rescheduled to.

Stay tuned for the next installment of this “will they? won’t they? what will they do?” story

Everyone I know has been looking forward to the Fill A Bag sale, but as of last night it is still considered tentative, and lots of folks are reporting that their Store Managers have said it’s been postponed!

Time will tell if we’re going to have this sale, and if so when, so stay tuned, and as soon as I find out anything definite, I’ll post!

Gymboree didn’t used to be this wishy-washy, flaky and noncomittal about their sales, and no one has been able to get a good answer as to why they have been of late If they think they don’t need to, because sales are good, they need to consider the overall harm they’re doing! I can’t tell you how many people are bailing on their planned Gymboree purchases out of principal and/or need to keep to a budget, and will be shopping Gap or other stores instead because of this nonsense!

For instance, this weekend the following stores are having a big sale:

Gap (and Old Navy, Banana Republic and Gap Outlet) is the Gap Give and Get weekend, 30% off entire purchase (I don’t have an online code for this, but email me if you need the printable reusable instore one)

Janie and Jack Friends & Family sale, 25% off entire purchase (use “JJFAMILY” online)

Crazy 8 Friends & Family sale, 25% off entire purchase (use “C8FRIEND” or “C8FAMILY” online)

So, you would think that Gymboree would be having their sale as well, but as I said, time will tell.

This swimsuit sale is still looking to start sometime this week or next week, a lot of stores have already had the signage, but were told by Gymboree corporate not to put them out yet. Price points of $14.99 for regular suits, and I think $12.99 each for the rash shirts and board shorts.

The 25% off dress sale is rumoured to have been cancelled due to a lack of inventory. Another rumor is that it is just going to be rolled into an upcoming Fill-A-Bag sale!

The Fill-A-Bag Sale is tentatively scheduled to start on March 18th. As always, sale dates/durations are subject to Gymboree Corporate’s final say. The Fill-a-Bag sale is 30% off, both sale price and full price items! And since this is an automatic sale price, coupons CAN be stacked Add on Gymbucks earning, and that makes this THE best sale that Gymboree does!

Note that the bag part of the “Fill A Bag” is not literal, the 30% off applies to your entire purchase, either online or in store. Some stores do hand out at the door the reusable Gymboree bags to help you with your shopping, but you’re not obligated to buy it, nor is your discount limited to just what you can stuff in it!

Get ready to do some serious shopping!
