Spending during the Black Friday weekend is a strong indicator as to how holiday sales will go overall, so stores slash prices and open early to boost sales.

Tanger Outlets was among the earliest to open--starting at the stroke of midnight.Over at big box stores like, Wal-Mart and Best Buy, door buster sales had people waiting to get in.

“I really wanted the $60 GPS, but they ran out before I got here. But I did get a GPS,” said shopper Rolets Buckner.

Despite the recession, experts predict Black Friday weekend sales will increase over last year.

“Money being what it is right now, any discount or sale I could find, I was looking for it,” said Buckner.

The deals aren't just for the early risers. At Tanger Outlets, their sales run through Sunday.
