What was your biggest bargain?
Don't be ashamed to admit it. You left home before the sun came up to take advantage of some nearby Black Friday deals. You were probably drawn to the big box and department stores: Target, Walmart,Kohls and any number of others. While still recovering from Turkey-eating competitions with visiting family members, you braved the crowds and triumphed as master of the sales! Or not. Share your tales of success or defeat in the comments and post a photo from your shopping trip. Or, do you wish you had slept in? Tell us in the comments.
With Small Business Saturday coming this weekend, you can encourage shoppers to stop by a local store.
Is Black Friday worth the trouble? You just ate a feast's worth of turkey and stayed up a good part of the night watching football or talking with relatives you haven't seen in months. And now it's a good idea to be caught waking up at the crack of dawn and waiting in a long line outside of a department store in the chilly November weather for that bargain? Sleep in on Black Friday and do some holiday shopping on Small Business Saturday instead. Small Business Saturday, a calendar event conceived by American Express, encourages holiday shoppers to avoid the busy parking lots at outlets and instead take a trip down local streets. Review your favorite local businesses in Patch Places.

Vivian Kerner usually is busy preparing a golden brown turkey on Thanksgiving. The 34-year-old Chase resident almost always has the holiday meal set for 4:30 p.m. at her house with her husband, two daughters and the rest of her family. But a purple and black bird has Kerner changing her plans this year. The Ravens are set to host the San Francisco 49ers in an 8:30 p.m. Thanksgiving NFL showdown at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The prime time football contest has caused many people in the Baltimore area to adjust their Thanksgiving plans accordingly, including the Kerners. “We moved our dinner back to 12:30 in the afternoon and are having it at my parents' house so that we can eat and get ready to tailgate,” Kerner said. “It’s going to be …

Up to 138 million people are expected to shop during the first weekend of holiday season.
Trish Davis is a woman on a mission. While many people spend Thanksgiving night relaxing, Davis spends it strategizing for Black Friday. The White Marsh resident develops a list, goes through the sales ads and checks online for the best deals. That approach mostly worked for Davis today as she trekked to stores throughout eastern Baltimore County with her mother, Carol Brown. Davis bought baby dolls, slippers and pajamas at Target in White Marsh before heading off to the Kohl's at Martin's Plaza in Middle River. "Black Friday means the holiday season is here," Davis said. "It's a rush to be out there and seeing all of the Christmas decorations and looking for those quality deals while sending time with friends and family." Davis is not …
