Anyone using layaway this year?

I know at one time layaway was quite popular around the holidays.


The layaway line at Wal-mart was always wrapped halfway around the store the day after Thanksgiving. Then Wal-mart did away with it.

However, it seems a lot of stores use this feature to lure customers in.


An article in my newspaper today said one local store has seen her layaway plan go up 25% this year.


How about you. Have you ever used layaway or will you plan on using it so you can still use cash instead of credit?

Absolutely! I am a huge fan of layaway. Now this year I have seen online stores with layaway plans (on limited items) and I love the idea! Whatever

I started my management career after college with Kmart and layaway became my financial cornerstone.

I'm a huge fan of layaway as well. It's the only way I can guarantee getting a certain gift when I see it.
