The Black Friday 2009 results are starting to come in from the stores that took part yesterday, but even though the official results won't be released by the National Retail Federation until Sunday, the shopping continues today with Black Saturday Sales.

That's right, if you didn't get enough of the deals on Black Friday, now that has spilled over in to Black Saturday as well.

The Black Friday results are expected to be up from last year, which saw a 3.4% drop in sales, but so far this year there has only been a 1% decline in sales (not including Black Friday) and many of the stores are reporting that yesterday was a success.

"Retailers came out swinging for Black Friday, offering some of the holiday season's lowest prices on electronics, appliances, apparel and toys," said Tracy Mullin, president of the NRF, an industry trade group, in a statement. "Budget-focused shoppers seemed to be pleasantly surprised with post-Thanksgiving deals, which many retailers will extend into Saturday and even Sunday."

Retailers are optimistic that their sales will be back up again thanks to Black Friday and now Black Saturday, with sales amongst electronics, clothing, shoes, and bath and beauty products being the biggest sellers. A lot of shopping was also done online, with those sales being up as well.

So if you are heading out to do some more shopping today, what can you expect for some Black Saturday sales?
