Gearing up for Christmas with K-Mart Layaway

This post brought to you by Kmart. All opinions are 100% mine.

Due to my many years in retail, I know that now is the time to begin getting ready for Christmas.  Acutally, the time was about 12 days ago, but who's counting?  You might not be able to tell yet, but the retail stores are all abuzz with the Christmas Spirit right now.  They are collecting resumes and even conducting interviews.  In fact, most places will have all of their Holiday help hired by October first so they can be trained to handle the masses on Black Friday. 

Black Friday has never really been my "thing".  I prefer to shop for my holiday gifts the easy way.  Travis and I were just discussing how we are going to make it through the Christmas season this year since our families have grown so much.  Even if we get little gifts for every kid on the list we are still going to take a pretty hefty hit to the pocket book.  That's where the free layaway at K-Mart comes into play. 

It makes a lot more sense to put items on layaway and pay for them over time, and the earlier you get it on layaway, the longer you have to pay.  Work smarter, not harder!  Don't force yourself to tangle with the masses, risk getting trampled, and still miss out on that special item your little loved one was hoping for.  Get it done early and do it right the first time.  Put it on layaway now while it's on the shelf and guarantee you get what you want!  I made the mistake of mising out on one of my top items last year... this year I won't make the same mistake again.  I'm putting my LEAP PAD on layaway!!

What could make it better? Kmart's Big Layaway Giveaway, that's what! Once a week, every week until 11/17/12 K-Mart will pick a winner from their layaway customers and pay off their remaining balance!  You could get your entire Christmas haul SEVERLY discounted that way!

If you have never used layaway before, you are missing out - I'm sad to say it, but it's true.  I've been in retail a long time and I can say that layaway is a smart way to do things.  

See how simple that is?  Not only is it easy, but you can see the K-Mart is the smarter choice.  Oh you're just so very smart now aren't you.  I think you deserve a little pre-Christmas gift for having such a huge brain.
