Why Use Layaway?
Layaway is a very popular way to buy large purchases but not have to pay for everything upfront.
If you are avoiding using credit cards, you may want to consider using a layaway program to save what you need to complete a purchase.
Layaway usually works best for large purchases when you factor in the store’s fees. Be sure you will be able to make your regular payments and pay off your layaway contract in time.
Layaway isn’t for everyone, but it can be an effective way to save for large purchases without breaking out the plastic.
