How to Warm Your Toes, Cold Feet When Camping
Buy now, pay later services replace layaway – Marketplace
Ahead of the 2021 shopping season, Walmart removed its layaway program, one of the last vestiges of this service from a major retailer, and replaced it with the “buy now, pay later” service Affirm.
Layaway allowed customers to pay a deposit on an item that would be “laid away” or put into safekeeping by the retailer, and later pick it up once they fully paid for it. But as other payment methods have taken its place over the years, retailers have removed the option.

Slippery Conditions
There was a lot of ice along the trails, although by now with the warm weather, the ice had largely turned to slush and muck.
