UPDATE: The Black Friday Ads are leaking all over the place – a new one almost every day! Check HERE to see if the Walmart ad is out yet or not – we’re refreshing this page ALL DAY LONG!
Alright this has to be the beginning sign of the holiday shopping season, when we start to see the layaway signs it means it’s time to start planning right?
Well for those that like to plan out and take advantage of the Walmart Layaway Program it WILL be back again this year in 2017! Woohooo!
The layaway program hasn’t changed much from previous years but here is what you need to know:
- 2017 Layaway Season will be from September 1st – December 11th
- Minimum layaway for an item is $10 (so items must be $10 or more) but you must have an entire purchase of $50 minimum to qualify for layaway
- Make payments anytime on your layaway at any register in the store and check with your store about sending you reminder emails about payments
- There is no opening fee required for a layaway. All you need to do is make a small down payment of $10, or 10% on a single item, whichever is greater.
- A layaway can be cancelled and down payments and other payments will be refunded minus a $10 cancellation fee (cancellation fees do not apply in Ohio, Maryland, Rhode Island or District of Columbia).
- Layaway is not available on Thanksgiving day or Thanksgiving night.
- Not available for online purchases
And here are the departments you can have items on layaway from:
- Electronics (without service plans)
- Toys
- Infant furniture
- Small appliances
- Large furniture
- Auto electronics
- Select sporting goods
- Jewelry
If you ever wonder if something qualifies for layaway it never hurts to ask.

Can you put bikes and basketball goal on layaway
Cookie Psaras says
Can you put in large book case or floor rugs 5′ x 7′?
Cindy Eschedor says
When you are buying for multiple children 10 dollar items are not always available. This is ridiculous. I would think if a 50 dollar minimum is the rule, then why does it matter how you get there.
Anonymous says
I agree!!!!!
Stupid Rule says
I ABSOLOUTELY AGREE, WE had to put a toy back because it was not $10 even though our layaway was over 50. Dumb!
Ash says
Ask for a manager override! My local Walmart did an override on all the toys that were less than 10$ because my layaway amount was more than 50$.

I went to a Walmart in the Houston area yesterday and I was told they were postponing the layaway until September 30th. I didn’t see any signage but that is what I have been told.

Why offer layaway if you can’t put shoes or clothes or tv on layaway
Iam not a happy customer because of this
Kristen Harper says
You can.
sazzy says
that is true. Layaway is basically for clothes and non perishable items. it is ridiculous. there would be no need for layaway, because that is basically what goes in layaway and electronics. I don’t get this.
Tara D Bearden says
I have two tv’s on layaway right now.

Can firearms be put on layaway?
Megan says
I would like to know as well.
unknown says
I think it is ridiculous that you do not allow clothing to be put on layaway. Kids always need new clothes, especially young children that outgrow things every few months to a year. I know plenty of adults that also need to replace or want new things. I personally do not have $200+ to buy new clothes for my kids, myself and my husband
shirley slay says
I know that’s right it my feelings last year got back their had to put all the cloths back smh things my kids needed like coats and boots
Ashley says
I went today and had clothing and they said no clothing (thought it was like Kmart layaway) and toys have ro be $10.00 or greater. So basically I have to spend extra money on clothing for my daughter smh
Anonymous says
I agree with you
Linda Dean says
Thank you I went to put 300.00 of just cloths on layaway and was told no, not to mention sheeps
Kelly says
So then save the money for the clothes and buy them when you can. It’s not like you can’t get clothes now bc either way you have to pay for them.

I go to Sears or Burlington Coat Factory for clothes to be put on Layaway.
Beth says
The walmart in Florence told me yesterday that you can put clothes in layaway and that all the stores makes up their own regulations
Kathleen Powell says
Agreed
Anonymous says
I agree about the clothes. Everyone needs to do what I did, call Walmart Headquarters in Arkansas and complain. If enough people call in they will have to take .notice and maybe change the policy. I was told complaining at store level will not help. Aim for higher ground and let them know how you feel. Iqqf you want to talk to the head man at store level ask for the Marketing Manager, he is over the whole store, this was told to me when I called. Good luck!
Anonymous says
I agree clothes should also be allowed to be put in layaway! Sounds like everything else is eligible but clothes!
Rebekah says
Oh I know what you mean, was hoping clothes was an option. I don’t have kids so toys, and kid furniture is useless to me. Only thing I would layaway is maybe kitchen appliances but I’ll just wait for black friday sales I guess. Wish Walmart would bring layaway back all year round like in the good old days lol I still remember them saying it’s better for the customer that layaway be cancelled until holiday season lol nice one Walmart
Tabitha says
If you have a layaway already started, can you add onto it ?

Can I make payments online after I make the layaways in the store?
Christine Anderson says
THIS SUCKS!!!
Throughout all of my school age years and then some….My Mother would shop early and catch sales and out my school clothes and shoes on lay away. Just beforemschool we would make the final payment. It was a win – win for her because she could oay gradually and also wouldnt have to keep arguing with me because I wanted to start wearing my new clothes long before school started!! Anyway….Walmart must have just got a new shipment of boots and booties in and tonight I went nuts!! Now us woman know….that if you try on 10 items….you’ll be lucky if 2 of them look and fit like you want!! And that USUALLY happens to me when i have shown up financially prepared to buy all 10. But of coarse tonight I was not…..and out of about 13 pair of shoes I tried on….I LOVED ALL 13!! So I was going to put them on lay away because they NEVER have too many of my size on hand and they go fast. Much to my surprise and disappointment they would not put them on lay away. I would have never even got that carried away picking them all out if I had known I was going to end uo looking like an idiot and have to put them all back. The worst part was trying to figure out which ones I liked best and could afford now and which ones to sacrifice and put back!! I am so BUMMED out. What reason could they possibly have for turning down a $200 sale like that?? It makes no sense to me!!! I took pictures of all of them with the tags in case when I go back for some and they dont have them…I can hopefully order them. WISH ME LUCK! !

Burlington and Marshalls have layaway and the quality of clothes is better. Just use Walmart for big ticket item toys.
Good Luck

Um, Kmart (if that is an option in your area), does layaway year round and without all the stupid restrictions.

Can you get price adjustments on layaway? The one doll I have on layaway was $100 but it’s now $70. Can they adjust it when I go to make a payment? Or is it done once it’s paid off?
Juan Nava says
If they dont want to adjust it just cancel ur layaway and buy it with the money they give you back. At the very least you will save $20
Cecilia says
I wish we could put clothing on layaway, it would be nice for those teenagers!!! That’s what I hate about walmart, I like kmart, you can put anything on layaway even clothes. Maybe walmart should consider clothing.
Anonymous says
If your layaway items go on sale after they’re put in layaway will your purchase price be adjusted?
Rebekah Koon says
No. You can get a one time price adjustment within a few days- i believe its 5 or 7 days on up to 3 items. However it wont work for Black Friday sales as the items are different UPC numbers than what we sell regularly.
Stacey Brandkamp says
If something had a big rollback after layaway started, will there be a price reduction for my items?
Carrie says
I have several things in layaway and just got sales add and several item’s are on sale. Will this adjustment hit my layaway items.
sandra says
why continue layaway year round? It was so convenient when it was done.

Punky says
Can you lay clothes on the layaway
JENNIFER.. WALMSLEY says
I wish Wal-Mart would be more transparent with the rules on black Friday sales items and the f fact that I Could save over 70 dollars if price will be honored for items already on layaway
I feel the one day sale and layaway being closed is a way Wal-Mart can scam us all !!!! Put of saving more ? WHO AGREES??????? With me
chris says
If I don’t use my discount card when I open a layaway can I use it later as long as I don’t pay it off.
Rebekah Koon says
Yes! You can also apply your 15% off for working the sale to an existing layaway! Just make a payment on your layaway on the 30th/1st and use your discount card or voucher
Kathy says
Do what I did, call headquarters and complain
I asked why no clothes, they have no expiration date so they won’t ruin. I also told them I have no need for toys as my baby is 34. Maybe if they get enough complaints they will change the policy.

Perfect for fall/spring weather. Color is true to what’s shown. I’ve washed this blanket several times & had no issues with it in washer/dryer. It’s still as soft as it was when I first got it. I’ve always had hives growing up, so I have to buy everything hypoallergenic & wash my things constantly. This blanket hasn’t caused any breakouts! I’ve even gone as far as two weeks without washing my comforter (which for me is a huge deal). 10/10 would purchase again & recommend you do so too!
This will help some.
