Reporter @nweir1 met shoppers on the hunt for Black Friday deals #BBCNolan

Last year there were stampedes, fights broke out and websites crashed. All because people were trying to grab a bargain on what has been called Black Friday. The sale day which sees shops open early offering large discounts has been dubbed as the start of the Christmas shopping season. It originally came from America as it's the day after Thanksgiving and is a national holiday there. Shoppers have been queuing up from the small hours of the morning to get cut-price deals across the country - our reporter Nicola Weir was at Tesco in Antrim this morning when it opened its doors at 5am to talk to bargain hunters.
