Layaway?

Anyone ever done it? What happens if the item goes on sale while it's still in the store? I'm a newbie. My stepmom used to do layaway when I was a kid, but I've never done it personally;) sounds pretty easy and user friendly...

Yep I do it often. If you layaway at kmart and something gos on sale the 1st 7 days you can take the reciept up there and price adjust it. anything after that they wont do. What I normally do is if I find it went on sale for much cheaper I buy it and then return the item once I pick up my layaway. there is usually at $10 fee $5 for the layaway and $5 for cancleation. check with your local kmart because ours has the free layaway right now. 

now walmart will be bringing their layaway back starting tomorrow until Dec, Its 10% down of what your total is and you dont have a set payment schedule either, as long as its paid off at pick up. and if it gos onsale durring your layaway I believe you can price adjust at any time. EXcpet on black friday sale prices. good luck.

I prefer to avoid Layaway.

I use layaway all the time. If something goes on sale and its past the time for price match, I just re-purchase the item and return the one in layaway :)

Never done traditional layaway. I did take home layaway at base, but that's a whole different animal.

I don't use layaway, sorry. Would the store website give you the info you're looking for?
