check out the military surplus stores. not merino, but rather synthetics and they are tough as nails.

Eddie Bauer has nice merino base layers. If you check periodically, you should be able to get them for 50% off.

The Eddie Bauer website. They'll have some 40-50% off sales pretty regularly.

Looks like they have 60% off at the moment, also looks like their Merino is 40% polyester.... How does it do with body odor after multiple days?

I really like the Black Ovis merino base layers and they are reasonably priced.

I've worn them for about a week straight at most and never had an odor issue. I have noticed the 100% merino stuff can get a little funky especially when wet, but I think that's just how wool is.

I used Justin Charles. Great stuff, bit scratchy, not bad.

Sixsite has a great base layer set as well. I also have a set from Black Ovis.

I second the black ovis stuff. Been really happy with mine.

Black Ovis... wearing some right now.
Also check camofire regularly... they often have the B.O. on sale.
