Black Friday shoppers are already lined up at local stores in anticipation of Black Friday deals. The Boynton Beach Best Buy will open 12 a.m. Friday. The first person in line, Maferdeline Cius, is hoping to get computers to send to Haiti.

"If I can get a computer and send it to a teacher or something, then they can help someone learn the computer," said Cius.

Katherine Carpenter has made waiting in line for the stores to open a holiday tradition.

"When I was young, I waited in line for concert tickets. Now I'm old so I wait in line for deals," she said.

Some may consider these shoppers early. Veteran Black Friday shoppers say if you're not number one, you're late.

"I normally try to be here Wednesday morning or afternoon," said George Thomas, another person waiting for in line for deals.
