My teacher makes up a lot of stories to entertain my class and recently he said by law, companies have to offer the same prices for the BF specials online as they do in the store. So if you go online at 5am you get the same prices as if you were at the store.

Bogus?

False.

Look at any of the many, many flyers with the words "in store only" on them. Every week, not just on Black Friday.

False. Read the BF ads, the stores dicate what's available online, in store or both.

The one's that are available online also, do they start at midnight tonight, or 5am tomorrow morning?
