It's 3 a.m. and you are wondering whether or not you should go Black Friday shopping or not. The answer to that is yes!

People line up hours in advance to get the special deals. Lines wrap around the store as they patiently wait for the store doors to open... and when they do people come in charging.

Black Friday shopping became a trend starting in the 1960's. This event was to create a change in the market from red to black. Red indicates a loss in sales and black proves that there has been an abundance in profit. It is scheduled around the holidays as a kick-off of to the season which is, of course, the best time to buy presents.

Store discount their products to make sure everyone is feeling as though what they bought was "such a deal!" Certain stores also have "doorbuster deals." These are the deals that only last through a specific time frame. So make sure to hit up Macy's, who is known to have the best Black Friday sales of the night.

But, do not stress if you can't leave your family or just simply don't want to go through all that chaos of being in a cramped store. Cyber Monday can always be your backup plan! Usually, there is free shipping and if you're lucky the deals will be better online than in the store.

So, whichever you decide to do during Thanksgiving break, make sure you get your shop on somewhere. Surprise your friends with some great gifts or treat yourself!
