Some Shoppers Get Jump Start On Black Friday

(KDKA) Thanksgiving Day also marks the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

Many stores and outlet malls will open early, some overnight to accommodate the expected crush of shoppers, looking for great deals on Black Friday.

At the Best Buy in Pleasant Hills, dozens of people were already lined up by this afternoon waiting for when the doors open at 5 a.m. Friday.

"A computer is actually $300 off, and then the GPS is actually $110, so that's almost $450," said one shopper waiting in the cold.

Stores will be offering deep discounts on some usually high-priced items.

Some retailers are going beyond Black Friday mark downs with freebies and coupons starting today.

Best Buy is giving away free blue and yellow scarves to the first 50 shoppers waiting in line at 25 designated stores.

Pier 1 Imports is holding a weekend-long sweepstakes, and the winner can take home a new car and a gift certificate, while runners-up get $500 store gift certificates.

Bed, Bath & Beyond is offering early bird shoppers today an extra 20 percent discount on their entire purchase between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

And Macy's offered shoppers a $10 discount on any $25 purchase until 1 p.m. today.
