Okay seriously now, real talk

For older and indie stuff, you will not find prices better than GOG.com

Steam Sales, obviously

The vast majority of the games that I play are indie games so that's good.

Then you should know about steam sales, humble bundles, et cetera.

Indeed I do know about those. However while Steam sales certainly are good for saving money it is very easy to go crazy and spend more money then you intended. That's why I'm asking for some tips on frugality.

Well, before you buy a game, think how long you'll actually play and enjoy it for. Even if a game is $5, those $5's start to add up after a while
