Walmart to offer free holiday layaway

Walmart will offer free layaway for the holiday season starting Sept. 13, company officials announced Wednesday.

Walmart’s free layaway runs Sept. 13 through Dec. 13. Unlike previous years, there is no fee this year to open a layaway account, officials said.

Eligible layaway items include electronics, toys, jewelry, small appliances and select sporting goods. New items available this year also include infant toys and automotive electronics such as speakers and stereos.

Walmart’s Facebook fans will have a two-day head start this year with access to layaway on Sept. 11-12.
