Retailers, Shoppers Prepare For Black Friday Madness

Just hours away from the bargain hunters' favorite day, Black Friday, and retailers are preparing to open their doors with some of the year's biggest savings.

Some shoppers have waited in line since Wednesday morning. They say they're just happy the weather held up for them and now they're ready to get their shop on.

The hunt is on for these die-hard bargain hunters. Armed with tents, laptops and a lot of caffeine, they're making sure they get exactly what they want.

These shoppers might be the first in line, but the deals don't stop here. And taking full advantage of Black Friday takes solid planning.

Can you imagine waiting more than 24 hours to make sure you get into the store first? Some say it's a tradition. Others say they just want to get the best deals possible.

If you're still trying to finalize your Black Friday shopping plans, many stores have different hours this year.
