The Sewing Mom

I’ve mentioned my daughter’s “wish list” in a previous post, well, that list has been growing. The list is posted on the refrigerator where I can’t miss it and I’ve noticed the list getting longer.  I’ve all ready purchased several items on the list, but there is at least one expensive electronic item that I’ve been waiting on because of the expense.  Plus, I need to get my husband a gift or two and, as we’re learning from attending softball tournaments, we need gear like comfy chairs and blankets to help us stay comfortable while contending with cold weather and high winds, sitting outside at a softball game. So, my shopping list has grown whether I like it or not. Since my budget is not growing, I have to say that I don’t like it!

Thank goodness that I can take advantage of the Kmart Layaway program which, while other retailers have eliminated this convenience long, long ago, Kmart has continued as a service to its customers. With layaway, I can make my purchases now, make a down payment and then pay the remainder of the balance over the next 8 weeks. It means I can feel confident in knowing that I’ve made the purchases before items are out of stock and, I don’t have to use a credit card to do it which saves me the inevitable interest charges. I don’t know about you, but with the holidays looming right around the corner, it’s nice to know that I can purchase those “wish list” items and the other items I need without breaking our personal bank.

If you’ve been waiting to start your holiday shopping, be sure to check out Kmart Layaway.
