The big rush of Black Friday shopping is a hectic sale extravaganza. Most people even avoid going shopping on this day despite some of the amazing deals offered. However, what if it was possible to beat all of those lines and get some of the same great deals while sitting in your pajamas? As our society becomes more technology based, online shopping on Black Friday becomes more prevalent. While I do not think that I would ever try to fight for the best deals at four o'clock in the morning, sitting down with a cup of joe at my computer screen and saving money on gifts does not sound like such a bad idea on the day after Thanksgiving. Here is a list of some of the deals of Black Friday, both in stores and online. It's up to you which deals are worth the pain and agony of Black Friday.

• Kohls: (Opens at 4:00 am) Men's clothing is all on sale. $10 Kohls Cash For Every $50 Spent

After researching and completing this project, I have come to find out that the best deals are still in stores on Black Friday. While some places do offer online deals (like Kohls and Meijer) I did not find any deal as interesting as the ones in stores. As it is, I will probably spend my time snoozing rather than waiting in lines for hours. Good luck to any of you die-hard Black Friday sales ninjas, and Happy Thanksgiving!
