(Undated)-- Most of us are looking for time to take off and places to go. The usual hold up is probably money.

Well, check this out, Sears, yes, Sears is offering you an opportunity like no other...vacation layaway!

According to Time Magazine, Sears started the on Wednesday, offering online vacation deals to several places. Sears unveiled its searsvacations.com, a new site and service in which customers can book hotels, cruises, car rentals and flights, as well as 100 pre-paid vacation packages starting at $399.

The real treat is you put any of those packages on layaway.

And, just like any deal or agreement you enter into, it's always a good idea to read the fine print.

Time Magazine offered this tips on financial agreements:

  • Read the plan's fine print, know precisely when your payments are due and how much time you have to pay off the purchase.
  • Know what Sears' fees are for late payments and whether you'll have to pay any additional travel booking fees.
  • For hotels and cruises, Sears says there are no fees added, but a booking fee may be charged to air reservations.

And, if all goes well and you can afford any vacation layaway or not, enjoy yourself!
