This holiday season may witness a shift in the way retailers handle 'Black Friday' - the day after Thanksgiving; when buyers queue up outside stores throughout the night to grab the early- morning door-buster deals!

With a new development cropping up this season, essentially from the retailers' rethink about the Black Friday concept that took shape in the 1990s, most of the best bargains will be made available, both online and from the retail-stores' shelves, to the buyers - from now onwards throughout the remaining part of the holiday season!

Avid shoppers looking for great deals can keep an eye on the best offers from several Web sites - including blackfriday. info, bfads. net, and gottadeal. com - dedicated to Black Friday deals.

While Wal-Mart has been ruling the roost in so far as the best Black Friday deals are concerned, the Amazon. com deals have attracted many a shopper to online shopping, wherein advances in mobile technology makes comparison shopping more wide-ranging and instantaneous.

Commenting on the Amazon advantage, Luke Knowles, co-founder of Internet coupon distributor Coupon Sherpa, said: "Black Friday has traditionally been an in-store shopping holiday, but it has also creeped online in a big way as well and merchants have incredible deals online for those people who don't want to fight the crowds in the stores. This has made a way for Amazon to get into the game."
