I find they generally show up on the last couple of pages (at least on the first day or few that they become new) when sorted by Popularity/Bestselling because they usually haven't had their sales ranks significantly inflated by the freebieization yet.

Yeah, but I figure anyone looking in this particular thread either already knows that those sites openly exist for the affiliate link commissions or flat out don't care and just want the freebies. Same as with the publisher getting an extra cut of Amazon sales of their own books, which I've no objections to either.

Anyway, most of the indie titles can be usually checked against Smashwords, even if they've put something in the publisher field, or against B&N if they've managed to navigate PubIt, since it looks like the self-pub people are listed under their own names rather than made-up small press most of the time.

And for finding non-indie bargain deals, there's always the age-old method of seeing a rather low price and a suspicious lack of additional backlist for the author/house in question when Ye Olde Amazon Keyword Search is run.
