Lay Away is back

It's no longer unfashionable to be thrifty- we are all trying to save money and cut back. With the holiday season right around the corner and holiday sales predicted to be sluggish, stores are getting back to using LAY AWAY- Kmart is already running commercials for the holiday season. I think this is a great way to start your christmas shopping- most of us don't have the discipline to save for a christmas fund and end up using our credit cards- which ends up costing a lot of money through the high interest we pay. Lay away allows you to set up a payment plan in the weeks leading up to christmas. You receive your items when you make your last payment- usually just in time for Christmas. If you like this idea, consider looking into it soon. Here are the terms of the Kmart Layaway program.

Oh and PS Use your cash flow to make these payments, not your credit cards ( unless you DO pay off your credit card each month)
