It is too bad greed is effecting the important chance for families to enjoy a holiday together. The only way to stop this anti- family trend is to realize the power can be taken from these retail companies by not shopping on Thanksgiving. I hope enough people will do this. If greed whether the retail company's or the shopper's is not seen to be a negative thing how can this country return to be a… more ›
Walmart, the retail giant superstore, says it will open its doors at 8 p.m. Thanksgiving Day for Black Friday shoppers. What do you think about the move?
For traditionalists, it may be an unwelcome encroachment on a holiday normally focused on family, but for shopping enthusiasts it's all in good fun. Walmart has announced that it will begin running "Black Friday" sales at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, the earliest time yet as the shopping holiday increasingly becomes "Black Thursday." Although the retail giant did hold sales on Thanksgiving Day last year, they started later in the evening.

If you disagree with Walmart's decision, let them know by not … more ›
Some shoppers had waited in line for days to get the best deals.
Lines snaked around big box retail stores as early as Tuesday afternoon until doors were opened at the stroke of midnight Friday. People ran to scoop up a steal on a $600 TV and the hottest Justin Bieber doll. Some lines were shorter than others proving you don’t have to wait in line 60 hours beforehand, miss your family’s Thanksgiving dinner or risk hypothermia to score some sweet deals. Behold the sights of long and short which will help you begin mapping out next year’s day of dark deals.
Several St. Louis businesses were flooded with early, motivated shoppers today. Some of them had been waiting in line for days.
