"Put (something) in layaway" = Đặt cọc cái gì -> Trả một ít tiền cho cái gì trước rồi khi nào trả đủ mới lấy được.

Ví dụ
The closure has left customers scrambling for alternatives. Buyers generally put down half the cost of a dress, the store orders the proper colour and size from a mainland supplier, and customers pay the rest or put the dress on layaway after delivery.

Helena Reid had worked at a suicide hotline based in Tallahassee, Florida, for only a few months when she answered a call that challenged her skills and quickened her pulse. The woman described how she had put a gun on layaway at a local store. Her plan was to make payments over the next few months and, eventually, take the gun home and use it to end her life.

These days you can put just about anything on layaway, including that upcoming family vacation. More and more companies are now offering various payment plans to book trips geared toward customers who cannot pay upfront. Many times, payment plans make travel more accessible to people. But in some cases, consumers may end up paying more than they bargained for. Jennifer Caldwell is a frequent traveler. Her policy is, “book now, pay later.”
