[Windows Phone 8 General] tboy2000:
Lots of paid apps get discounted to free for a limited time. You should take advantage of that and save yourself a lot of money. I did and saved so far £117.62p.

Here is what you should do. Download and install AppDeals and WP7applist. Between these two apps, check daily and see what apps and games have "gone free" and install ALL of them. Once installed you can now immediately delete them if you wish. Download these "gone free" apps EVEN if they are of no interest to you right now. The reason being, you are linking that free download as a "purchase" to your Microsoft account. That means, should you want to install it again in the future, tap on Buy and you will get the message "You've already purchased this app. Would you like to install it again?" Make a list in your OneNote app on your phone for reference later so you know what you can install again for free in the future.

What I also do is, sometime later, I revisit an app in the Store to see what the new purchase price is and make a note of it in my list.
