FOX 26 Consumer Reporter Heather Sullivan has some smart sense on how you can survive the holidays.
Shoppers can also use layaway, for holiday gifts and shopping year-round, on designated online items. Unlike Buy Now, Pay Later financing, which uses a soft credit check, Amazon's layaway has no credit check.
"You have no credit check, no interest, no fees. You simply shop in our storefront and pay the rest over time, actually up to 8 weeks, to pay things off. Once it's paid off, it gets delivered right to your door," explained Nancy Dalton with Amazon Access.
Amazon Access also offers coupons for shoppers.
Shoppers who receive government assistance can also get Prime Access, which is an Amazon Prime membership for about $7 a month, or half the price, which offers free delivery on certain items, streaming, and other perks.
