While Black Friday is not necessarily the best day of the year to shop, it is still the most ritualistic shopping “holiday” with several stores opening at 12 a.m. Friday (or even earlier) with limited-time deals. An estimated 152 million Americans will be taking part in the retail festivities Friday and during the weekend, up from 138 million last year. If you’re thinking of hitting the mall — instead of watching various TV show marathons like me — here’s a handy list of the who’s who of Black Friday and their featured door-busters. Keep in mind that on Black Friday, it’s first-come, first-served, so some of these deals will go away once the item is sold out. (Also keep in mind that stores want you to feel pressure to buy. But it’s not a good deal if you purchase something you don’t need just because the price looks good.)
