I take a little bit of offense to this post. I put approximately $1,800.xx worth of stuff on layaway in the past week at Walmart. Not because I HAVE to, but I have 5 children at home. It is just more practical. I have done this every year for the past 4 years or so -- and I have ALWAYS picked up my layaway. Not that it matters, but my husband and I are both professionals making good salaries -- we happen to both be living in different cities in rentals until I can find a house in his city and make the move (of course then I have to commute to work 55 miles, but oh well) -- we just don't have anywhere to successfully hide presents. Don't assume things...its not right.

Well -- I left my house at 1:30am for Walmart and got there at about 2:15am -- was #4 in line for the laptop. Our store only got 15 -- nice orderly line. However, they also formed lines at the same counter for the GBA and MP3 player but wouldn't let you request those things if you were standing in the laptop line. You had to go stand in line AGAIN. So I was very worried. Anyway -- all in all -- got everything I headed out for...remember I am buying for FIVE children plus ourselves....
Laptop Computer
Dig Camera w/ docking station
camera accessories and laptop accessories
15" LCD tv
dvd player/burner
MP3 Player for $97.xx
Gameboy Advance (2)
2 Care Bear
FP Ark and FP Zoo
various cds, dvd's, and xbox and gameboy games
Garth Brooks collection
Jumbo Dora
Plus the stuff I had already put on layaway.
At Target, I got my kids the pajamas and robes, the Light Bright for $6.00 (2), and my nephew the Leap Pad Tad baby frog or whatever it is.
Went to JC Penney's and got my daughter several of the "Bobby" monkey shirts for 60% off ($7.xx ea) plus a "Bobby" sweatshirt -- she is 5 and loves him. Also got her a pair of jeans and my son a hooded sweatshirt.
Oh, and I got a new TOASTER from Walmart -- what that blender thing with the individual cups and colored lids -- thought there would be ton and I could get one "later" -- HA HA!!!
Had two of the cabbage patch babies for $10.xx at WM but ran into two ladies who REALLY wanted them and I gave them to them. Didn't need them that bad.....
ALl in all a good day -- wayyyyy too much money spent but that's what happens when you have a BIG family
