At least one person has been injured as a chain store's sales promotion descended into "bedlam".
Asda stores across Northern Ireland were scenes of chaos, according to callers to the BBC.
Several customers said they left empty-handed after finding stores had rapidly emptied of stock advertised in Asda's 'Black Friday' promotion.
Asda said it "had full security teams in stores and extra colleagues to assist customers in the aisles".
The company said reaction to the promotion, on what is said to be the busiest shopping day of the year, had been "phenomenal".
In an Asda store at the Westwood centre in west Belfast, a woman was taken to hospital with a suspected broken wrist after scenes that a customer described as "bedlam".
Hundreds of people queued outside the shop from 05:00 GMT for cut-price goods that included televisions sets which were reduced from £179 to £99.
