Today is the start of Gymbucks redemption, dear friends. Oh, how I have waited for this day! I have $275 in Gymbucks, which means I can buy $550 of kiddie clothing for $275. Hooray!Here is my pressing problem: do I go to the mall in PERSON to redeem my precious Gymbucks? Even though I rather detest our local mall (it has kiosks of CRAP in the aisles), and I will have Sylvie, who will either be writhing impatiently in her stroller, or alternatively, running all over the store or out into the mall? In this case I will have to quickly pile clothing with a mere half of brain, since one half will be occupied with Sylvie, but I will get the endorphin rush of REAL LIVE shopping, and may see things that aren't online - the serendipitous find you won't stumble upon via a website.
OR do I simply shop on the website, methodically checking off my list, where I will be sure to get everything I need, avoid the trip to the crappy mall, but potentially have a little less FUN?

The update you were awaiting with bated breath: I wussed out and stayed home, ordering everything online. I figured it would take me a LONG time to buy $550 worth of clothing, so I happily clicked and added to my basket for a while. When I went to review my basket to see how MUCH MORE I had to buy - EEECK! I was up to $890! I guess even an obscene amount of Gymbucks doesn't go far with 5 kids.
