Friday from 4 a.m. until noon, Sears is having over 599 doorbuster sales. Savings of $40-$590 on flat screen TVs are available. "Guitar Hero" packs are $20 off, Blu-ray DVDs are on sale for $15, and savings of more than $100 are available on pool tables, air hockey tables and ping pong tables. Sears gift cards of $70 are given out with a purchase of four Goodyear, Michelin or BF Goodrich tires from 4 a.m. to noon only.
"If I had something specific in mind I was going to buy, and I could get it for a really good deal, then I would shop on Black Friday," said freshman Kendra Skalka, an education major from Logan."Otherwise, I don't think I would try and brave that."
Looking online or in papers for ads can be beneficial for students who want particular items or need an idea of what to go out and hunt for.
For the brave shopping soldiers, Black Friday is somewhat of a holiday.
"I would never do it again," Jacobson said. "If you're into the whole pushing through hot crowds to get something, then I would recommend it."
Dress for a hot summer's day and get ready for some awesome deals, Jacobson said.
"People should have their carts loaded and get ready for long lines," said Dillard's employee Lorena Yurek. "[Black Friday] is not that bad in this town, but in Vegas I'm sure [it is]. They won't let us know until the day before Thanksgiving, or possibly the end of the week, about the sales."
Yurek said the doors open at 8 a.m. at Dillard's and there will be ads in the paper informing customers of the great deals to come on Black Friday.
