This. I used to work at a department store, and I quickly noticed that the deals are just the same as ones all the way up to Christmas. You just have to keep watching. And if you're not after a doorbuster, go shopping Black Friday evening. Everyone's conked out by then, but a lot of stores stay open extra late. I pulled the night shift one year and I was shocked that the place was practically empty by 7, 8 p.m.

One of my former coworkers posted on FB recently that they're opening at 4 a.m. this year. Yuck. I bet within the next couple of years, most stores will open at midnight. The outlets near my parents and a few other places already are.
