The day brings early store openings and deep discounts from many retailers, and ranks as one of the busiest shopping days of the year."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1321918956.usr105634.jpg" /></p><p>I avoid Black Friday sales like the plague, but if you are a brave soul then these ads will at least help you plan out your attack for the day after Thanksgiving.
