Not skeevy, torid or low-end, but what poor people do. Rich people have the money right up front, and have no need to save up to buy something they want. Coupons are the same way. Our culture demonizes coupons as something the cheap (poor) people do, and they likewise treated layaway, because I don't where else I would've gotten my impression of it as a child.
