Layaway at Kmart????'s

[mum4jenn]

Does anyone know the time limit for having something on Layaway at Kmart?

I would like to put something on layaway for my dd for Christmas but I want to be able to pay on it from now until close to Christmas. With Dh being layed off and his severance running out by the 1st week of November I need a LONG time to be able to pay.

Kmart layaway contracts are for 8 weeks:

I did layaway for my daughter's tv for Christmas last year. It worked out great. I plan on doing it this year also if there is a "big ticket" item she wants.

They only offer you an 8 week payment plan, there is a non-refundable fee for doing the layaway (not much), and you have to give a certain % down of the overall price.

If I were you, start saving whatever change and dollars you can now, make your list, wait until they have a huge sale in early November or late October and do it then. This way, you'll have the $$$ for the down payment and will be able to pay it off before Christmas.

I don't know all the details on it - but I recently heard about it so I thought I would mention it, that way you can look into it. KMart has introduced some sort of Christmas savings card and I think you earn a small percentage on it. Just thought it might help you - maybe someone will chime in that knows more about it.

Thanks for the details. I also saw the sign in store, but didn't get what it really was.

I wish other stores would do this! I don't do too much shopping at Sears or Kmart. I guess I could just save up weekly for xmas but the 3% bonus is more of an incentive!
