NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Black Friday is still three days away, but some bargain hunters have already started to line up.

Shoppers across the country are camping outside the doors of some major retailers.

EXTRA: Planning For Black Friday

Many of them, including Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy, are opening at midnight or earlier Thanksgiving Day.

Toys 'R' Us has one of the earliest starts this year, with Black Friday sales starting on Thursday at 9 p.m. Wal-Mart is starting its holiday sales at 10 p.m. Thursday.

Guide: Gifts For $10 Or Less

Around 55 million Americans say they're going to be shopping on Black Friday.

While Black Friday sales seem to be coming earlier each year, Occupy Wall Street doesn't want you to shop at all.

According to their website, OWS is calling Nov. 25 "Buy Nothing Day" and are staging protests, mall sit-ins and other demonstrations at sites around the country.
