ytmomof4 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 It’s one of the first signs that Black Friday is right around the corner. My local Walmart layaway opens on the 1st. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magickallight Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 When my kids were little I LIVED for layaways! Great way to keep the gifts hidden as well as let me pay weekly (the way I had to live WAY back then!) Now, with a big old house and lots of rooms and no kids living at home any longer - I have the room to shop year round for the ever growing family and save money that way. I do like the FEEL of FALL that comes with layaways, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riven3d Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 it was so nice when layaway was year round, this crap of only a couple of months its just crazy. layaway used to be so nice, do your layaway in the next month or so, go up on Black Friday and have them adjust all the prices on everything. no having to stand in lines to checkout after you tried to find everything since you already had it all on layaway lol of course that was also back when they didn't special sku everything to avoid that from happening 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytmomof4 Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Yes I love layaway as a storage to keep things hidden. My house isn’t very big so it helps. I also wish it was year round and included more items 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

berry1014 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Yup I miss the year round layaways too. They made it much easier to buy things with having to worry about interest rates with credit cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len_mullen Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 When I was in school, I worked at Zayre's Department Store. They had free, year round layaway. They also gave 10% off rain check items, 10% employee discount, and an additional 10% off for employees before Christmas. All year long, I bought out of stock sale items to get the rain check price, put them on layaway, and paid for everything just before Christmas for a cumulative discount of 27% off the sale price. Zayre's was the first place I got a rebate and the only place I ever worked Thanksgiving. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytmomof4 Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I also miss Kmart layaway. I loved that they didn’t have so many restrictions Edited September 23, 2019 by ytmomof4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelbabymommy Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) I’m with you guys! Miss Kmart layaway. The last 2 in my area close in mid-December. Everything is 10-30% off right now. I plan to go in once a week to keep an eye on the discounts as they get deeper. I can certainly use the pjs, sheets, towels and things like that for Christmas gifts. Im sure I’ll start a Walmart layaway soon as I just asked my girls for their lists.

mgreen Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I remember layaway at kmart 35 or so years ago! It wasn't really my cup of tea. I guess the lack of instant gratification was too much for me, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
