Being a Low Budget Guy

If you know me, you know that I like to shop as cheaply as possible.

Clothing? If it ain't crazy on sale or secondhand, I don't tend to hold off on a purchase until one of those things is true. Movies? Ha. Forget the theater; I'll rent it on DVD when I can get it for a buck at Redbox. Restaurants? Where's your dollar menu? I ain't shelling out $4 for a sammich at a fast-food joint. No way. No how.

Gaming? Well, I've worked out a system for this since I love gaming so much. Basically, if a game provides at least one solid hour of enjoyment for every two dollars I spend, then it's an acceptable cost. I prefer to get better deals than that, but that's my standard.

Today? Today I picked up half a dozen Xbox games for $15 thanks to a rocking deal at Gamestop. Most of the games are extremely well-rated games, too.

But more importantly, I wanted them, and I'm liking them a lot.

Basically, I win at shopping on the cheap.

Being a low budget guy definitely has its perks.
