First of all, how did it get to be time to be thinking of the holidays again? Didn't we just have Christmas?! So, like many Americans right now, I'm thinking about how I'm going to pay for holiday gifts. Everything the kids want is pretty expensive. They all like Legos and we know how much they can be and Buddy is into Wii games, ugh! Plus I'd love to get my husband a flat screen HDTV finally!
One thing I'm debating is using Kmart's free layaway program. The financial hit wouldn't seem so bad if I started paying on the gifts now, in September instead of waiting until the last minute. Plus, with layaway you at least know it's paid for at the end of the holidays instead of just getting started on the payments like you do with credit. (Not to mention finance charges and other fees with credit!) Kmart's Layaway is different than other stores. Kmart is the only store that allows year round layaway with no service fees! Check out the differences between the other stores below:
Currently Kmart also has a promotion called: Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway! All you have to do is place an item on layway either in store or online and you are entered! (There is an optional free mail in option to enter as well.) There will be one winner every store, every week! Seems to me that your odds are pretty good! If you win, Kmart will pay off your remaining balance. Win, win! It sure would be nice to get Christmas paid for. What are you waiting for?

I was a curious kid so my parents always took full advantage of layaway programs. Kmart sounds like they have some awesome perks and year round layaway would be great for birthdays as well! Now if only there were a Kmart in my area…

I have used layaway for Christmas before and its nice. I like that I can know I’ve found the stuff I need but don’t have to worry about hiding it for that period of time.

I love the whole idea of layaway! It is a great way to go to pay it off before christmas and not have buyers remorse! I didn’t realize that Kmart offers all those features! Sounds like the place to go!

Love Kmart’s layaway program! Too bad they didn’t have this when I was little because I always peeked at the presents my mom hid in her closet.

I think it’s great that Kmart still offers a layaway program! It can really help out during the hectic holiday season!

I so wish we had Kmart around here still! They’ve all disappeared from the Dallas area. I love shopping there when I’m back home in the Chicago burbs though! (Hello, Martha Stewart cuteness.)

This is such a great idea! Then you aren’t feeling the financial burden right around Christmas time.
