Walmart Christmas Layaway Available Beginning September 13, 2013

Walmart shoppers can start prepping for the start to the Christmas season, as the 2013 holiday layaway program kicks off on Friday, September 13!

Even better, Walmart Facebook fans have access two days early, which means you can beat the crowds to the hottest toys and gifts starting September 11.

Here's what you need to know about the Walmart Christmas layaway program this year:

  • You can layaway the following items: toys, electronics, jewelry, small appliances, and select sporting goods.
  • There is NO opening fee this year -- as opposed to the last two years, where you had to start the account with $5.  You do still have to make a down payment of either $10 or 10% of your overall purchase, whichever is greater -- but that goes towards your balance!
  • You must have a minimum purchase of $50 in order to open a layaway account.
  • All layaway accounts must be paid in full and items must be picked up no later than December 13, 2013.
Walmart says these will be the hottest items on most shoppers' layaway lists:

  • Tablets such as the iPad, iPad Mini, Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus
  • Smartphones like the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy 3 (prepaid only)
  • PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles and new releases
  • Big screen (60”+) smart TVs
  • Furby Boom
  • Barbie Dream House
  • Big Hugs Elmo
  • Zoomer, a robotic dog
  • Bikes and ride-on vehicles
  • Children’s tablets and learning toys such as LeapFrog
