Christmas and New Year season, where different stores are running various discounts and offers everywhere. That shopping frenzied moment every woman is looking forward to.
All my female friends and cousins are talking about the amount of bargain they managed to get at Sephora, H&M, Maybelline, Everlane etc and even compared all the different products they had bought and shrieked in unison. *sigh* women :P
And I'm always met by the usual, "Oh you men don't know how to bargain or get a good offer. You don't understand the value of discounts or End-Of-Season sales."
Well, for once, I would like to prove all my female friends and relatives wrong! (OMG Kima, what the hell are you doing!? You want to… die?)
So in my previous post "Comic Bundle of Joy" I talked about how I got a good deal on Archie comics through HumbleBundle. Well, in this post I would like to tell you about the deals I got during this year 2017 on games at HumbleBundle.
Be prepared to be amazed :P

Now let us calculate the overall discount shall we? :P
GRAND TOTAL COST OF GAMES I BOUGHT FROM HB THIS YEAR: ₹ 18,652/-
ACTUALLY SPENT: 7 times $1 = ₹ 448
That's a whopping 97% DISCOUNT and savings of ₹ 18,204/- yooooo!
And I'm not even calculating the free games I received for being a loyal customer. If I take those into consideration as well, let's see, the games I have received for free this year are:
Tropico 4 - ₹ 479
DiRT 3 Complete Edition - ₹ 2358
The Bureau: XCOM Declassified - ₹ 565
That brings up the total cost of games I got from HumbleBundle this year at ₹ 22,619/- giving me a 98% discount with savings of ₹ 22,171/-
See, can any of your discounts at ZARA or Hush Puppies or any other place else beat that? It's not that we men cannot bargain, we just decide to go for discounts on stuff that really matters to us. Like games :P
So unless you managed to buy something you really love at a 98% discount, the next time, think twice before approaching the Master of discounted buyer :D :P :P
Belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone. Cheers!
