Ready to score some of the deepest deals of the year? Black Friday shopping has changed. Now, people can start getting the great deals early online and in local stores. It's not the same 4 a.m. wakeup to fight a mom for a Tickle Me Elmo or the cheapest big-screen TV.

If you're on the hunt for great bargains, lots of chains and local businesses offer in-store only deals and doorbusters on Friday. It's not all different. You'll still have to get up early and maybe be able to sprint to save the most money.

Whether you need specific wish list items to make Christmas magical or are looking to capitalize on deep discounts for things you need at home, it helps to go into the day with a game plan. Finding the best route and deals for you can pay off with big holiday savings .
