Why Layaway rocks… Have you ever used Kmart’s layaway program? Not sure how it works, or what the big deal is? Well, lemme give you some basics on why it’s awesome, how I use it, and why it’s a super smart tool for busy moms, especially as we get closer to the crazy-busy holiday season.

Why would you want to use layaway?

Well, because you can avoid the wild crowds and long lines that’ll be filling the stores in a couple months. You can plan out your holiday shopping budget, pick out all of the holiday gifts you need, and have them set aside to pay off later. Then you get to have a stress-free holiday season, knowing your shopping is all finished up! And THAT is definitely a good thing.

What makes Kmart’s layaway the best?

So… What else can I even add to this? It’s pretty darn clear, when you compare the different layaway options available, that Kmart’s free layaway program is definitely the best, right? It’s the only place that I know of that offers such a full set of services, to make it super simple to start your holiday shopping now, and pay for it later.

Perfect holiday gifts from Kmart

We do a lot of shopping at Kmart, and I love all of the great services they offer, like the Shop Your Way Rewards, free layaway, and the awesome prices. And – I love, love, LOVE their selection of kids toys and gear for the holidays! How fun is this new collection from My First Kenmore? Most of the appliances are made of real wood, not plastic, which is so great when you’re wanting pieces that you can hand down later on. And – since I can’t afford to get all of the new Kenmore home gear that’s on MY wish list, I can at least get some of this fun stuff for Abby, and we can make our own little mini dream kitchen. And with layaway, I can grab all of these pieces at once while they’re on sale, and pay them off as the holidays approach. Awesome.

Win your whole holiday shopping list!

How cool is THIS? Everyone who sets up a new layaway at Kmart gets entered into Kmart’s Big Layaway Giveaway. {Get details by clicking the link, then click the lower red tab to read more about the giveaway!} That means, every week one amazingly lucky winner gets the whole remaining balance on their layaway totally paid off! There’s one layaway giveaway per store, per week, every single week from 9/9/12 through 11/17/12. That’s definitely a motivator for me to get my layaway set up as soon as possible, to have more chances to win this. Maybe I can WIN this whole line up of new Kenmore kitchen gear…..
