Millennials love to shop Thanksgiving weekend, according to the National Retail Federation, which says 77 percent of millennials will make purchases online or in stores during the holiday.

About 15 Tulsa teenagers were already camped out at Best Buy off East Skelly Drive Wednesday night, some of them were in front of the line last year, too.

It's become a tradition for the group of 18-year-olds. This year, they have a generator to power a propane stove for Ramen Noodles and hot chocolate, and to keep their laptops and phones charged.

One of the teens said, last year, he bought TVs and later sold them for $800. Another said he collects money from his sisters and buys electronics off their lists.

"You know, most people come here, they just sit outside or get a chair or something. They freeze to death. But we come prepared, we have fun and, in the end, we get a good deal," said Ahmad Hammami and Abdullah Kabani.

Believe it or not, there is a woman in line in front of them. The guys said she's had a chair at the store since Monday.

The teens said because Best Buy opens at 5:00 Thanksgiving night, they can still have a turkey dinner with their families.
