Wal-Mart is the biggest retail store in America, so they set a lot of trends. And today (Thursday), they just dropped a bombshell.

According to CNBC.com, most (96%) of Wal-Mart's Black Friday deals will be available ONLINE at 3AM our time on Thanksgiving morning. While the deals in the actual stores won't start until 6PM that night (15 hours later), you'll be able to get up early on Thanksgiving morning, do a little shopping online, put the turkey in the oven (I'm assuming it's a HUGE turkey) and go deer hunting.

 

Good times. I have a feeling some other stores will be following Wal-Mart's lead.
