Anyone know when they will be having a sale or if there are any coupons out there???

A sale just ended last week I think. it was an extra %20 off older sale stuff.

Coupons are VERY hard to come by. They are usually just 1 time use only.

I heard black friday will be good!

Sales are pretty frequent. But, the prices are still pretty high until an item has been marked down 3 or 4 times and then your selection is slim. First markdowns/sales are a mere 10 to 15%.
And like PP said coupons are very hard to come by and often go for a large chunk or change if you have to buy one.

Here is the J&J "tutorial" coupon and sale section copy and pasted from gymbofriends:

Coupons

1. Where can I find coupons for J&J?

- Occasionally, J&J will send out coupons in the mail or hand them out in store, but this is extremely rare. You might also be able to score a free shipping code (usually for purchases over $100) if you belong to the email mailing list. If you sign up for Gymboree Play and Music, you can get a 20% off coupon. Most people end up buying them from BST or on eBay.

2. I found a coupon on eBay, but the seller wants $40 for it! Is that normal?

- Yup. Unfortunately, since coupons are so rare, they go for mucho dinero. Full coupons (good for both in store and online) commonly go for $30+. Partial coupons go for $15+.

3. Can I use my coupon more than once?

- Kind of. You can use it once in store and once online. That's another reason why J&J coupons are so valuable.

4. I used a coupon when I placed my order last night, and now new markdowns are up. Can I get a price adjustment?

- Although Janie and Jack has a great PA policy, if you use a coupon, you can't take advantage of it. If you order without a coupon, you can call CS within 7 days (the day of the purchase is counted as day 1) for an adjustment.

5. Can I stack coupons?

- Not in the same way that you can online at Gap. But just like Gymbo, if a store is offering a promotional discount that doesn't require a paper coupon, then you can use your coupon on top of it.

6. Are there any current coupons?

- Right now, you can only get Play & Music coupons or Customer Service coupons.
