Because if there are only 10 of the item, you putting 1 on layaway guarantees that you'll get 1 of them. Saving your money on your own doesn't stop them from selling all 10 to other people, leaving you with saved money but no product.
There were only discounts for layaway sales or regular sales, otherwise there was no discount.
