Hundreds wait in lines after turkey meal to be the first to get holiday deals.
Hundreds rushed to the Rockaway Mall Thursday night to be the first to check out this year's Black Friday deals and to get a head start on holiday shopping. Some headed over right after their turkey meal, while others even skipped their dinner to make sure they could be the first in line. The line at Best Buy started a full day before its midnight opening on Friday. Maplewood resident Amanda Meehan was the first to get to the store at midnight on Thursday. She slept in her car, camped out all day, and skipped her Thanksgiving dinner to get the Toshiba 40-inch TV special for $179.99. Most customers who waited in the Best Buy line were also hoping to get the Toshiba deal that saved $240 on the TV. By 11:30 p.m., the line wrapped around the …

There is nothing being sold that I would consider worth more than spending time with family. No big deal can take the place of loved ones. In a few years the things people bought on sale will be in the trash. When tough times come it is your family that will be there for you. I wish people would realize that and set their priorities better than they do now. People should always come before things. more ›

Unlike other area shopping centers, shoppers were sparse at the mall this morning; but filled up in the afternoon.
There were no signs of Black Friday's deal-busting madness at The Mall at Short Hills Friday morning. Shoppers at the upscale mall in northern New Jersey walked casually from store to store and carried few bags during the hours that were crowded and hectic at other malls and big box stores. The only difference from a regular shopping day? It was 8 a.m., two hours before the mall usually opens. At some stores, Black Friday offered shoppers unprecedented deals if they made their purchases before 9 a.m. or, in some cases, noon. At the Macy's in Short Hills, employee Kathy Graul, of Union, said, "It's definitely not Target and Kohl's, but I think for the people who shop in the Short Hills Mall, the sales are good." She said some customers …
