Those fees really don't seem out-of-the-line crazy to me.

So I'm guessing it's only valid to Dec 16 because regular price cuts/sales will go into effect.

I wonder what happens if you put something on layaway on Nov 1, and then it goes on sale for Thanksgiving. Do you get your layaway adjusted to the lower price as well? ;-) Maybe you get adjusted to the price the item currently sells for when you pick it up.

Enjoy your TV. ;-)

I worked at Meijer in the layaway department when they still had theirs. The deadline is so that products not fully paid for can be returned to the shelf in time for other shoppers to buy before the holidays.

Oh I love lay-aways, I have missed them.

Don't mean to be a naysayer here, but until it actually arrives in the store here, I won't believe it. Kind of like all the stores getting material back. Won't be happening. One of our friends is head mgr. in a town north of us, and he has not heard of this.

I can understand this. I hope that it does happen in all the stores. This was just on the msnbc.com website today.

I guess that's why they're not called Wal- Smart.

Well I was in the Walmart nearest me today & wasn't impress with their "remodeled" very small craft section & sewing section. Not many low cost, mostly nearly $5 & $6 bolts.

Hmmmmm maybe Wal-mart has FINALLY realized they screwed up by taking away layaway. Even if it is only for th holidays, the article says they may extend layaway throught out the year. :)

YEP THATS RIGHT I SEEN IT ON THE NEWS MYSELF THIS MORINING GLORY GLORY.ITS ABOUT TIME.

It's a shame Walmart doesn't do this all year long, would come in handy for buying school clothes, summer clothes, etc. When my kids were young I always went to K-Mart to do the lay-away for all there clothes.
