If you're a serious shopper, Thanksgiving is just the warm-up.

As you're filling your stomach and giving thanks today, serious shoppers also will be planning their attack on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. For the shoppers out there -- and you know who you are -- we've put together this handy selection of some of the best deals out there.

You won't be alone. A National Retail Federation survey predicts up to 134 million people will hit the shops Friday, Saturday or Sunday to score deals for the holiday season. That's up from the 128 million who planned to do so in 2008, according to a federation news release.

Crossroads retailers are doing what they can to prepare.

Best Buy already has taped off sections of its store in preparation for Black Friday.

The store opens at 5 a.m. and uses a color-coding system to show shoppers where to go, general manager Doreen Lumbrezer said. Orange lines point them toward computers and so on.

Every staffer will be on hand, she said, and the shop will station policemen outside to help control crowds.

"We'll sell tickets to the line outside an hour before the store opens so that, when people come in, they know they'll get the hot item they're waiting for," Lumbrezer said. "They don't have to rush right to it." The shop's big sellers will be LED TVs, computers, GPS systems and digital cameras, she said, adding that employees are excited about the big day.

"It's crazy," she said, "but it's controlled crazy." At Victoria's Kohl's store, management is prepared for a large crowd, store manager Jason Woodman said. Like Best Buy, every staffer will be on-site.

The shop opens at 4 a.m. and, even though some items might not be in their usual locations, shoppers should be able to find what they're looking for, he said. Customers can go online to view store layouts, he said, and the store will disperse maps specific to the local site to those in line.

"We want to be sure everyone knows what they're looking for," he said.

Woodman predicted toys, electronics and jewelry to be the store's biggest sellers and said they're ready for the onslaught.

"Those who come out will be rewarded for waking up early," Woodman said.

Everyone Target employs will be at work on Friday and the store is already preparing space to get the extra ad products out on the floor, Mike Yokum, the local store's manager, said.

Although he said he couldn't elaborate much on the deals, he predicted LCD TVs and electronics in general to be big sellers this time around. Target disperses items throughout the store to control the crowds, he added.

"I think that's a big part of what makes it a successful day," Yokum said. "How orderly we can get everyone in and out." The day might be a busy one but, after years of practice, Yokum isn't too worried about what lies ahead.

"It's no big deal," he said.

Unless you're one of the hardy ones who get a great deal.
