With the rising prices of memory and storage products, what strategies can people use to score great deals? I'm looking for any recommendations or tips on where to find value when shopping for these items.

Buying used RAM is a solid choice. I've had a lot of success finding good deals on eBay. Just be cautious with used SSDs since they can wear out faster—I'd love to hear any tips for scoring reasonably priced SSDs with good lifespan left!
Look for memory bundles that include the CPU, motherboard, and RAM for the best value. Unfortunately, the best deals tend to be at Microcenter, which not everyone can access. For SSDs, your best bet might be to buy used or settle for a lower-tier drive for now. Alternatively, there are some great prebuilt systems out there that can save you some money.
If I have access to a Microcenter, should I spend some time checking out their deals?
