Stores With a Layaway Program

We are continuing to update this post as we get new information about stores offering layaway.

We welcome your comments. If there is an item you are looking for on sale, or if there is new layaway information to share, please send us an email to morewithlesstodayteam [at] gmail.com and we will do our best to locate items for you and update layaway plans here. We love to help our readers.

What is a Layaway Plan?

If you are new to layaway plans, typically you put down a percentage of the purchase price which holds your items and then you make payments within a specific time frame, usually between 8 and 12 weeks. You then pick up your items when your layaway is paid in full. Often there is a small non-refundable fee to begin a layaway plan, so always compare that to the interest you would pay if you simply charged the items on your credit card to see which option makes the most sense for you.

Here are the FAQ’s we get asked at More with Less Today in case you were wondering too!

Walmart Layaway

September 25 update- it is now official. Walmart is not offering layaway this year and many of my readers are very disappointed.  They are offering payments over time through Affirm.

Complete Guide to Layaway Stores – List of Stores with a Layaway Program [2022]

Walmart is using an installment program called Affirm. You can buy now and pay later through 3 month, 6 month or 12 month installments.

“Walmart offers easy and affordable monthly payments online and in stores with Affirm. Alternative to layaway, you can purchase immediately and pay over time at a pace you choose—from 3 to 24 months*. During checkout at Walmart.com, you can choose Affirm as a payment method and apply for a loan to pay for your items. For in-store purchases, apply at affirm.com/walmart, pick your desired payment plan, scan your single use barcode at the register, and make payments online with Affirm.

Affirm always shows you the exact terms (subject to your eligibility) and the total amount of interest you will pay, never charging you anything extra. Unlike most credit cards, Affirm does not charge any fees. That means no late fees, no prepayment fees, no annual fees, no hidden fees, and no service fees to open or close your Affirm account.”
