And behind door number two...

Which websites offer the best/most interesting deals on merchandise?

I'm a sucker for a deal, and an even bigger sucker for grab-bag or other interesting deals. One of my favorites is the three bags/fifteen bucks at yakpak.com. What are your favorite web-based deals?

I LOVE bensbargains.net.

woot.com - they sometimes have "Bag o' crap" sale which comes stuffed with mystery goods (most of which is, indeed, crap, but it's not like you weren't warned)

Slickdeals and the FatWallet forums should keep you busy for a while. I keep a list of even more deals sites on my own site.

If you like woot, there's also MidnightBox which in my opinion is lower quality and has interesting things way less often, but I imagine some people love it because they have a lot of obscure niche items...

I check the aforelinked slickdeals and techbargains quite often.

(As an aside, you end up buying a lot more stuff if you watch these sites religiously. I'm certain you end up with a net loss. Good deals, but still.)

smackfu speaks the truth. I had to unsubscribe from their feeds. I bought myself a laptop I didn't need because of SlickDeals.

I second woot.com. I got my digital projector from there (not the one listed for today) a few months ago for $550, regular retail was appx 1200-2000. $5 shipping on everything. Very easy ordering, reliable shipping. No problems yet, and I've gotten 3 or 4 items.

I'm a fan of dealhack.com, personally.
