If you’ve already got some big ticket gifts in mind but would prefer to keep the plastic in your purse this holiday season, there’s another way: plan ahead and put it on layaway!
This old school option is back, and it may be available at more retailers than you realize. Toys R Us just announced their plan to help parents buy “big gifts” for kids. The idea is that you put a little money down and make payments until the goods are paid off. And what better place to hide gifts from prying eyes than the backroom of your favorite store?
See the chart below for the scoop on some layaway plans, including some Web sites that specialize in layaway. For more on layaways, see our November issue, on newsstands now!
