Black Friday is just days away and local businesses are gearing up for the day of shopping madness.

Black Friday is notorious for long lines, cheap prices, and mobs of eager early Christmas shoppers. And while some choose to stay in their pajamas all day after stuffing themselves full of turkey and stuffing, others are saving money on doorbuster deals.

Target is giving away a free $40 dollar gift card with the purchase of a 16 gigabyte iPod Touch. This is on top of other major sales on electronics including the Nook at 50 percent off.

Walmart’s always low prices are even lower with 50 percent off of everyday kitchen utensils. However, they too are having a big electronic sale with the iPad 2 at only $399 and a 42 inch flat screen television for only $369.

For the guys who are looking to save on their athletic needs, Dick’s Sporting Goods has 50% off of Nike fleece, 25% off of Under Armour fleece, and 25% off of all Columbia and North Face products. There is also $20 off of a purchase of $100 or more all day.

Girls will find that Sephora is accommodating their early Christmas shopping and everyday needs with 50 percent off of all popular cosmetics.
