I just got a brand new pair of Adam Levine jeans (the brand, not his actual jeans) marked down from $30 to $3 today. You can gripe all you want, but I'm happy they are making space for their Christmas stuff.

We have so many DUers itching to get a prime time slot for Team DU on for the War on Christmas and you are calling it CHRISTMAS LAYAWAY???!!!1 Don't you know it's Holiday Layaway. You must have been slacking off at Spring Training!!! How are we going to finally win that War on Christmas that Faux News says we have been waging since well since the existance of Faux News if people like you call it Christmas Lawaway.

It looks still like it's back in the 60's with its decor. It needs to either modernize or get replaced...... And at the end of the month it's shutting down. My husband loves K-mart, and he just sick his store is closing the end of this month.

where you'd deposit money throughout the year into an account that couldn't be withdrawn until a little before Christmas. So I don't see anything particularly odd, per se, with having Christmas layaways that start in September.

It gives someone 10 or 12 weeks to pay off the bill without interest.
