For the first time, holiday shoppers at Macy’s will go from ladling the gravy to burning the midnight oil.
America’s largest department store chain is odiscount nfl jerseyspening at 12 a.m. on Black Friday. Target also is launching its first midnight sale and will stay open for 23 consecutive hours.
“This year, in response to our customers’ eagerness to shop early for great deals, Macy’s stores across the country will open for the first time at midnight following Thanksgiving, giving customers the opportunity to get a head start on our extraordinary Black Friday deals,” Macy’s CEO Terry Lundgren said in a statement Monday.

Re: Macy's joins midnight blitz on Black Friday
If you drive a stick, you can coast on highway downhills. In theory, you're putting more waer on your throwout bearing, but I've not yet had that problem. Doing just this, only on my afternoon commute (25 miles - in the mornings I'm not awake enough to pull it off) ups my MPG from 30 to 33, approximately. Mind you, this is in a '90 CRX Si (sport model), lowered on account of broken springs (don't take a CRX off-road in Glacier National Park), with a roof rack and enough rust to affect the drag coefficient.
Also: on big lights that you know take a while, turn off the car. If your car takes a lot of cranking to get going, this is obviously a bad idea, but if yours is like mine and only needs one rotation of the engine to get going, it works pretty well. I have to pay better attention to the cross traffic to avoid being honked at, but I can usually be off the line, including starting the car, putting in the clutch, putting it in gear, and letting out the clutch, before the driver in the other lane. I've just started experimenting with this as a general gas-saver.
