Black Friday sales have begun, after what seems like weeks of build up. People have been ravenously scouring the web for Black Friday 2008 ads for several weeks, preparing for what's being considered an opportune moment to fulfill holiday wishes in a recession-plagued economy.

Clearly you're not shivering up a storm in front of a store, so whether you're racking up a bill online, or have skipped out on Black Friday sales altogether, reflect with us by checking out the cluster below.
