DALLAS – To help military families stay on budget while preparing for the school year, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is offering limited time layaway on electronics through Sept. 1.
Computers, notebooks, iPads, tablets and other electronics that support educational excellence are not usually eligible for the Exchange layaway program, but service members and their families can enjoy the expanded program before the school year.
“There can be a lot of costs that hit all at once when preparing for the start of school,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “The Exchange’s layaway program is a great choice to not only manage expenses for clothes, shoes and backpacks but electronics as well.”
A $3 service fee and a 15% deposit are required to place these and other items on layaway, and the items must be picked up by Sept. 2. Shoppers can visit their local Exchange for more information.

Through Sept. 1, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service is helping military families stay on budget by expanding its layaway program to include computers, notebooks, iPads, tablets and smartwatches.
