(MOBILE, Ala.) Folks started forming lines on Wednesday at Best Buy in Mobile to get those Black Friday deals. By Thursday night, lines had started forming at Toys R Us and Target.

"It's a lot of fun out here, we keep each other company and keep each other safe," Shopper Robert Prine said. "Yes, we are Occupy Best Buy." 

These bargain hunters have started a movement of their very own. It's a quest to be the first to get the best deal.

Prine set up camp at Best Buy early Wednesday morning, to ensure his spot at the front of the line.

Family deserves a new TV this year," he said. "They say they have a minimum of 10, but we have it on good authority there's a little bit more than that."

Prine says that kind of deal is more than worth it, he even made a few friends in this makeshift camp ground.

After a day and a half of bathroom breaks and sharing food and stories, yeah, I do know them now," he said.

Just around the corner at Toys R Us, the lines are even longer.

"I got two books, been reading all day," Kevin Hamilton said. "Getting a swing set for my two babies, saving some money on it."

Hamilton says while others are enjoying that turkey and stuffing, these guys are braving the elements in an effort to save some serious cash.

Hey Oh S**t...Worked all day? Thought you're retired, at least that's what you said! You'll tell us you were busy working the breadline at the Salvation Army, Waterfront Rescue Mission or the such doing your civic duty...well isn't that special. If all those Trust Fund and Welfare babies did something productive like that rather than sitting in line waiting to get a buy, the world would be a better place. Don't worry about my B/P, it's fine...I don't care what those idiots do and unlike yourself, I don't care what you did Wednesday or Thursday night!

Nope longie - wrong again - couldn't afford anything they were selling even at those prices so I spent time with friends somewhere else. Everybody I know that went had a blast - some didn't even buy what they went to get - decided they didn't need it - don't you get it longie lad - it's the experience man. Get out and enjoy! What say we do it next year. You might just surprise yourself and like it. Wait, on second thought, you might just put a doom and gloom over the happy souls. In any case, please remember, watch that BP longie! Stay cool and calm. It's gonna be alright guy. Oh, watch did you do you last night?

Hey Oh S**T...I take it you were one of those pathetic losers waiting in line to get a "big bang" for your buck. I would suggest that if they put as much effort into doing something meaningful and constructive as they they do wasting time, they would be far better off financially and wouldn't have to worry about saving a few bucks on something they really didn't need in the first place!

There you go again longie - just when it looks like you understand. Didn't you listen to or rea the story? These people are enjoying themselves - meeting new people, sharing good fellowship - and some are hanging with family or old friends. Many are trying to get the most bang for the buck but the thing they will remember most is the fun they had with other people from all walks of life. And most of trying to save a little money (as most do not have much these days). The ones in the story seem to be trying to get something for family at a price they can afford. (I couoldn't do that this year - wish I could - A-N-D it looks like most were truly enjoying themselves,) Longie you need to try to get out more and enjoy your fellow men and women. You may even find some you like and who will even like you. What say you? The Christmas season will be much better if you do. (Remember old Scrooge? - he didn't start to really live until he began to appreciate other people and enjoy their company. And Christ was always out with the masses - only occasionaly getting away by himself.) Question: What did you do on Wednesday that you will remember in five years?

What a bunch of morons...it's sad to think these people have such pathetic lives they can afford to wait in line for several days to maybe save a few buck on something they really don't need to begin with. From the time you arrive in this world, the clocks ticks and these people waste it. It's something they will never get back!
