genenut Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I dont use layaway for BF but I use it through out the year. Its great for buying things like a winter coat in august. You dont need the coat til oct and can buy it when they have it in stock (unlike oct when they have nothing winter in stock, its all sold) but dont have to find a place in your home for it until you need it. I have bought my kids toys on layaway every year for xmas as if I wait til nov most of the things they want arent on the shelves anymore. Its not a question of affording the toys, its a question of availiability of them if I wait til november. And then the question of how do I hide them in a small 2 bedroom condo for months. Lay away is a great place to "hide" the toys til xmas... Wal mart is cutting off thier nose to spite thier face... they will learn the error of their ways when either their sales drop or everyone defaults on thier cc...
theboyzmom Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I have never used LAW on BF, so it won't affect my shopping there for BF, but I WILL miss having it available. I've got toys in LAW right now...not really sure what I'll do next year, I really don't want another credit card
Caprice64 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 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.
