Orange County Register

If you recall, the deals at Wal-Mart last year were so hot that a few people around the country got trampled and seriously hurt.  The cops had to come to my local store due to the heavy crowds.

Last year I drove up to the parking lot, saw the line 0f people extending all the way to the state line, turned around, went home and crawled back into my bed.

So, if you’re going out there this year, remember to wear your football helmet and pads and get there plenty early!

Click here to see the Wal-Mart Black Friday page with their sales and other information.

Check out the cool mapping feature on the site, you can put in your own local store, and get a map showing where the deals are going to be located!  That is nifty.  Every location on the map will have its own line, supervised by Wal-Mart employees. Hopefully that will cut down on the body-checking, right?

Popular deals, I’m sure, are going to be the HDTVs, the Blu-Ray player for $78,

I’ll be out there too, because I’m blogging about Black Friday this year. If you twitter and you want to help us tweet about deals and the scene at stores, tweet me @DealsDiva today and let me know.
