I remember as a child my mom would use a store's lay-a-way plan to get us clothes. We were very poor, but the anticipation of getting those new clothes was wonderful! I remember proudly handing the last of the layaway payments and my receipt and getting the loot! Ahhh the smell of brand new clothes.

So it was no surprise when I saw a commercial for Sears announcing they had layaway, it brought back so many fond memories. Memories of waiting and planning exactly what my outfits were going to be, and how long until I had them. I learned that from my allowances I could go and make a payment towards our purchases and help out my mom pay it off faster (the allowance was from my grandparents).

So now I see an online ad for Kmart layaway and I click on the link. They are offering online layaway! How cool is that? Now I've known that Kmart has been offering layaway for the longest, but there are no Kmarts in my area anymore

. Ahhhh the old memories of NON instant gratification....the anticipation......and the pure joy of actually waiting for something you really, really want.
I think I'll put something on Layaway, just for the heck of it. Maybe some Christmas gifts.
