TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT-TV) A local shopper says, "we've been here since 5 p.m. And we're coming for a t.v."

A shopper says, "since 7 p.m. yesterday."

Call them diehards...

"We set up tents, generators going with heaters, just trying to stay warm. Here we are first in line trying to get electronics from Best Buy," states a local shopper.

Or just bored local residents.

"We're here to experience the hectedness. We're not buying anything."

Who needs sleep when bargains are everywhere, right?

Karen Sheppard, a shopper from Twin Falls says, "I woke up at 3 and got here at 3:30...I wasn't planning on coming out to do this, this morning. But I was pleasantly surprised."

Black Friday is all about the deals and as you can see from my shopping cart, customers are loading up.

"JcPenney's has great blockbusters, great clothes at The Children's Place."

"You can find denim for under $10, that's what I call a holiday bargain."

The Bella pPerre kiosk opened in June, at the Magic Valley Mall, ready for its first Black Friday experience.

"A lot of people have been coming for the make–up."

Another first–year business in the mall is The Children's Place.

Darci Richey, store manager of The Children's Place says, "I think it's great to come to Twin Falls. We want more people to know about us, know that we're here. We haven't had really anything centered around children's clothing so it was much needed."

Now that Black Friday is over, there's always Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday coming up next. But some are already looking ahead, way ahead.

"Definitely will be back again next year."
