Like a lot of others I've never used LAW on BF, but I have used it at other times of the year. With 2 bigger kids who might try to sneak-a-peak at Christmas gifts, layaway makes an ideal hidding spot! Then I only have to worry about 2-3 weeks of hiding items instead of months!!
Here in Loganville and Monroe, GA the layaway is being phased out before BF so it's a moot point anyhow.
