(KJRH) A great deal families are counting their pennies while trying to pay off their layaway bills.

"I've been off work for a year and a half so it's been kind of tight," said Nita Renee, who was in line to pay off her layaway bill.
Renee says she has been saving for weeks to pay the $215 she owes. But Renee says that was her only option. She says her daughter must have a Christmas.
"She's six years old and she deserves it. She really deserves it," Renee said.
