Here is another one with pics at the link.

The folks camping out for the week are enjoying many amenities that they would if they were at home, [b]as they’ve even brought a generator with them.[/b] The temperatures are not conducive to camping right now as it’s a bit frigid, but these folks don’t care.
 
Along with the tents the campers have [b]air mattresses for a comfortable night’s sleep and TVs and laptops for entertainment. They cook on a grill and the group will even enjoy their [u]Thanksgiving dinner in the parking lot of Best Buy[/u].[/b]

“Fox and Friends” Monday had a few questions about the time these shoppers are spending just to save money. [b]Taking a week off from work has to be more costly than the few hundred dollars that these campers expect to save during the Black Friday sales.[/b]
 
It seems that this group of campers takes shifts so their daily lives aren’t disrupted completely. [b]While some of the campers take this week as their vacation week from work, others go back and forth to work from their Best Buy tent home.[/b]

Original Message If time is money these peoples time is obviously not worth very much.

How much are they going to spend on food over the next few days? or are they cooking on the sidewalk?

Snip; Itzaida Díaz plans to spend more than $1,500 at Best Buy on Black Friday, and she's willing to camp out in front of the store for nearly a week to make sure she gets the best deals.

"We're really doing it for my son who landed second in line last year. He has a very competitive spirit," said Díaz of east Orange County, who set up two tents outside the East Colonial Drive electronics retailer Saturday night. "He wants a Toshiba 40-inch flat-screen TV, and we're also getting tablets, Sony PlayStations, Blu-ray players and other things."

Since Díaz and her family are first in line, they'll receive tickets to Best Buy's limited-quantity doorbuster deals when the store opens Thursday at midnight.

"I know this is crazy, but we're actually spending quality time together, and we can save up to $200 at the same time," said Diaz, who is taking off time from work as an accountant.
