I wishlist every game that looks like it has potential; check it every couple weeks to see if there's any 90% off deals. Pretty much don't bat an eye at anything below that.
Don't you get emails when something on your wishlist is on sale?
Alternatively you can set up alerts with isthereanydeal.com
I should get paid for how much I've promoted that incredible website. I check it minimum weekly.
The steam mobile app also gives you a notification when a game in your wish list goes on offer
ITAD checks all the legitimate sites that sell steam games as well, often saving you way more money.
I have that disabled or blocked. I don't check my email all that often, and most of the alerts I did get were below the purchase-worthy discount, so it wound up just being a lot of spam.
You can set percentages in ITAD for notifications.
You can set it for “regular price”, then in the “percentage offset” setting, you can put 90% or whatever.
Just a thought.
