Last year, Walmart brought back Layaway as a limited trial, and it was a huge deal! So huge, in fact, that they are bringing it back, bigger and better than before!

That’s right, Bigger.And.Better.

Last year, millions of Americans used layaway at Walmart to provide a great Christmas for their families. This year, Walmart is expanding the categories, and giving customers an extra 30 days to make payments on their layaway purchases!

Layaway begins September 16th, 2012, and all purchases must be payed and picked up by December 14th, 2012.  The day after Thanksgiving is the only day between September 16^th and December 14^th where customers cannot place items on Christmas layaway at Walmart.

If you are a fan of Walmart on Facebook, you can gain early access to layaway! Just check out the layaway early access app, and sign up to get your ticket to early access! Shop early and make sure you don’t miss out on any deals!

Walmart’s layaway program, coupled with their everyday low prices and Ad Match program will ensure that their customers get more Christmas for their money this holiday.

Here’s more about the pricing for Walmart’s Layaway program.

Pricing:

• Individual items must be priced $15 or more, and the total basket must be at least $50. (same as last year)
• A down payment of 10 percent or $10, whichever is greater, is required when items are placed on Layaway.  (same as last year)
• The Layaway open fee is now $5 but if the customer pays in full they will receive it back on a Walmart gift card.
• If the order is cancelled, the open fee is not refunded; however no additional cancellation fee will be charged. Last year, there is a $10 cancellation fee for any orders not picked up by that date or cancelled by the customer.
