I told you guys a while ago that Walmart was bringing back Layaway. Well, Today is the day it starts! Layaway is available starting today Oct 17 with final payment and pickup by Dec. 16th! I know this is a tough economy  and this will really help to avoid the last minute shopping after saving your money. There is nothing worse than saving up for months for the kiddos and then not being able to find what they really really want. This is also a great alternative to using credit cards to pay for Christmas this year and avoid piling up the debt!

I know there are some restrictions that are not really popular, overall this is a great program that can make sure you get the stuff you want and allows you to pay for it over time.

Here are the details:
