I used to use Walmarts layaway plan for Christmas purchases. Around the first of September, I would go "shopping" for the children's presents.... bring the stuff to the layaway counter and got my receipt. I then made payments every week and best of all, I didnt have to store or hide any of these gifts until about 2 weeks before Christmas. I would pick up the stuff, go home, wrap the presents and put what wasnt from Santa under the tree and put the Santa presents (wrapped) in my closet. It was so nice. Christmas paid in full before Christmas, no fighting over items, no shopping in December and getting caught in the "thats so cute" mantra.

I love layaway plans. I wish all stores would bring them back.

I think using the savings account as a layaway program makes the most sense. Thanks for bringing this up, I'd forgotten about layaways, but I would have been too young to use them anyway.

i worked at walmart when they did away with layaway and boy oh boy did that cause a scene with our customers! i don't blame them...that was a way for people to do their christmas shopping ahead of time w/o having to go broke all at once.

Wow... layaway. That brings back some memories. My parents never put things on layaway but my best friend's parents would. They would go school clothes shopping and then put it all on layaway. I swear they always had something on layaway.

Layaway... i love the name.

2008-10-20T12:15:53.710-04:00

Hell ya I remember layaway! I think I still have some things stocked away that I forgot about somewhere at a local Marshall's!

I guess that speaks to Angie's point because everyone else must have done the same thing...

2008-10-20T11:00:22.432-04:00

Layaway went away because it wasn't economical for stores. I used to work in layaway and I would say only about 25% of the items put back there were actually picked up. The entire thing was just an exercise of moving merchandise from the store, to a box in the back, back to the shelves a few months later. Usually on clearance or sale because the items were so old. This only results in higher prices for everyone else. Just so it can force others to save? Not really worth it to bring back I'd say.

Interestingly, K-Mart has recently started advertising their layaway program again. I haven't seen a commercial for their layaway in YEARS, if I ever have, come to think of it. Too bad the only K-Mart store in our area is really rundown and just an unpleasant place to shop most of the time.
