1. Black Friday sales begin before Friday.

MSN Money noted that many major retail chains will begin Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving Day. Amazon, for example, has announced that it will begin its Black Friday sale several days before Friday.

2. Apple offers Black Friday sale items online and in stores.

MSN Money noted that many HDTV sets are offered for the lowest prices of the year during Black Friday. Similar discounts can also be found around December when manufacturers, such as Samsung, release their 2012 models.
