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..
Shoppers who show up at Walmart shortly after their Thanksgiving dinner (between 6 and 7 p.m.) will get the chance to score deals on Black Friday favorites like electronics and toys that are guaranteed to arrive at their local stores in time for Christmas.
