We really like free stuff. Any time we go to the mall, we spend half our time at the Apple store, and the other half sitting in the free massage chairs at Brookstone. However, you don't often get expensive things for free on the internet (those "free ipod" scams don't count).
MacHeist would like that to change. The MacHeist Bundle is a software bundle released annually, coupled with an online puzzle-esque event that gives you a bunch of free software and discounts on the final bundle. The puzzle itself is pretty interesting, albeit incredibly complex, but this year, they are offering a free "nano-bundle" of software for those who don't want to attempt the puzzle.
To put it simply, anyone can go to www.macheist.com, create an account, and download 5 applications, normally worth $154, for free: WriteRoom, Twitterific, TinyGrab, ShoveBox, and Hordes of Orcs. If 500,000 people end up downloading the bundle, they will add another app -- Mariner Write. Overall, this is a great deal, and you should check it out here.

MacHeist is now offering Virus Barrier free if you advertise for MacHeist on Facebook. I've tried it out and really like the software (even if Macs don't get viruses!)

Buying into the MacHeist every year is probable the best software investment you can make. I have done it the last 2 years and I will keep doing it as long as they have it.
