WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - South Florida shoppers continue their hunt for Black Friday deals and bargains.

But is the frenzy worth it?

Jodi Burman blogs about saving money.  She created www.livefabuLESS.com .

She says unless you like the experience, there's no need to wait in line for days. In fact, you don't even have to leave your house.

"Almost every doorbuster deal you could find at all the national stores were available online before Black Friday," said Burman.

Like other bloggers, Burman scours the internet for deals, then posts them online for her followers to see.

She says this week's Black Friday online sales have been just as good as, if not better than, the in-store bargains.

"A lot of the times in years past, there were online deals and store deals and the two were very different that's not the case anymore, " said Burman.

So, for the shoppers who braved the crowds today, perhaps their next stop will be the world wide web.
