The day after Thanksgiving is known as Black Friday to retailers because it puts them "in the black" profit-wise. It is the busiest shopping day of the year in terms of traffic (though more money is spent on the weekend before Christmas).
Serious shoppers know they can score serious deals on Thanksgiving weekend. But it takes some savvy to find the best deals and fight the crowds. Desperate shoppers have been known to camp out overnight to be first in line for major deals on hot items (now that's dedication).

Most stores keep their Black Friday sales under wraps until a few days before.
