Layaway Plans

The layaway plan at Big Lots is not well-publicized, and in fact they don’t even call it “layaway” (which could have an impact on consumer protection). At many Big Lots locations, usually for furniture only, they have something called “Price Hold.” In most cases you put 10 percent down and they’ll hold it for 90 days. Some shoppers report being charged $5 for this service; be sure to ask questions of the store management before using it.
