When Walmart brought back its layaway program in 2011 after a five-year hiatus, customers could come in and reserve an item for the Christmas period starting Oct. 17. This year, the program begins on August 28, which kicks off Walmart's made-up occasion, Toy Week..
Using layaway at Walmart is simple. Customers can start a layaway account in any Walmart Supercenter or Walmart store (not including Neighborhood Markets) by visiting the Walmart.com Services Desk. Once a layaway account is opened, customers can make payments at any register in that store between Sept. 13 and Dec. 13, 2013.
