Yesterday was one of the few days where you were late, if you weren't up before the crack of dawn.

Thousands of bargain-hunters lined up before midnight on Thanksgiving night in anticpations of big box stores opening when the clock struck twelve.

By mid-afternoon, Woodruff Road looked only slightly busier than it does on a typical Saturday. In Mauldin, many small and locally owned businesses such as Moonstruck on Main Street saw a steady stream of customers. We've added some pictures from when we were out and about. Feel free to add yours and let us know where the best deals were. And don't forget, today is Small Business Saturday, so shop local!
