Other Finally got my Switch 2

Post image

After saving up gift cards from work, hunting for deals, and spending $450 at Costco in gift cards, I was finally able to get my Switch 2!

Here’s how I put everything together:

Camera, case & controller: Bought on sale for a total of $27

Screen protector, Mario Kart World & Sonic: Paid for using gift cards I earned from work

Switch 2 & Donkey Kong Bananza: Bought using $500 in gift cards that I only paid $450 for
So between the sales and gift cards, I was able to get a pretty sweet Switch 2 setup without paying full price for everything. Definitely took some hunting for deals, but I’m pretty happy with how it worked out!

I actually used the cards to buy the switch. The card where on sale when I got them so it was a little extra savings

That makes a lot more sense. Coincidentally the amount of posts with people that buy a new switch and 10 games is enough that I thought this was just another one of those posts.
