It's for people who don't have good enough credit. You buy something but the store keeps it and you pay installments until it's paid in full. Then you get it. The poor man's credit card.

Mack was who I wanted us to trade up for and I was pretty pissed we did it for Sammy. It's even worse now cause Sammy isn't anywhere as good as Evans and the train wreck that is OBJ. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layaway has no interest, nor does it have a fee (at least not when we did it at Walmart/KMart).

I would love to see it come back in more places. Most people dont realize if you put 10$ a week aside in 5 weeks you have 50$. If you have 50$ you can purchase something for 50$. Most people today look at something thst is 50$, buy it on their Master Card thst has 500$ on it already and thst 50$ item cost them 300 over time.

Bobby Hooks Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Awesome story, goes to show you should always start your shopping early. How bummed would you be if you normally shop at that walmart and were going to use layaway but missed it by a day or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool that no one will have to restock all that ***** and people will have a merry christmas thanks to Mack! Yeah, I think most stores ended their layaway programs years ago due to people not paying. Then there was a demand for it to be available so I think Walmart brought it back but initially they only had it going for the holidays with some stricter rules. I dunno how they run it these days but yeah, it's handy sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love nothing more than grown men calling other grown men names whilst hiding behind their keyboard. I bet you're super cool and tough. I bet everyone on your block talks about how tough you are when you're not around. Also, did you have to take out any loans (*GASP*) for the school of life?
