You’ve done this Christmas thing before. You already know about the deals you can find on ebay, on half.com and at the big O Overstock.com when hunting for affordable gifts, but where do the particularly savvy online holiday shoppers go for their stellar deals? Here’s a list of ten sites on the web full of fantastic deals, until now known only to the most committed of bargain hunters.

Pull up the front page of Slickdeals.net and you’ll find a page full of the hottest deals of the day. For example, right now I see a link to a site that’ll sell you a pair of Vans kicks for only $17, and a huge tip on an online only Office Depot clearance. (Note that it is DOT NET not DOT COM).

Now, for those looking for bargains on technology, XPBargains.com is a treasure of a site. From computers to gaming systems to mobile phones and mp3 players, this is the place to go if you’re in search of a price break on electronics.

Though the site requires registration, FatWallet.com is full of good deals and cash back offers. GottaDeal.com is another one full of spectacular deals which also features a forum in which to discuss bargains with other smart shoppers.

The Dealnews.com manifesto states, “At dealnews, every deal we list is the lowest price we could find for that product, sold by a reputable store. That means we list the best deals period” and with prominent ads for 70% Adidas shoes and North Face boots, that does seem to be the case.

DealNews.com also runs an affiliate called DealCoupon.com which is an incredibly useful list of online coupon codes. This is also a good site for free shipping fanatics.

There’s been a lot of controversy over BFAds.net, a site that posts sales for Black Friday before they’re announced publicly so you know whether or not that great deal you found today will be a great deal later, or if you should wait for the holiday sales to begin.

DealLocker.com is loaded with great coupons, but the big tip on this site is to look for the Secret Amazon Discount Tool. This allows you to search Amazon by category, keyword, and discount range (up to 90% off). Most importantly, it allows you to limit your results to items eligible for Amazon Prime, meaning that they’ll also be eligible for free shipping and the Amazon return policy. Which means no more rip-offs by affiliated merchants who slash prices only to gouge on shipping costs.

DealCatcher.com is a uniquely useful site in that its deals are sorted by site. Especially helpful if you’re shopping with a gift card or have a preference for a certain retailer.

Want to do a good deed while you shop, while also finding out if you’ve really found the best deal out there? BeatMyPrice.com is a site that allows you to type in the item and the place you found it; it then proceeds to search for a better price and if it finds one, it’ll let you know—the really keen part about this process is that if the site doesn’t find a better price, your price becomes the new lowest and the people who come after you will be able to find the same great deal! Doesn’t that leave you a warm and fuzzy bargain shopper?
