How to work around RAM prices? (self.technology)

I want to build a new PC, but avoid buying RAM until prices are sane. What are my options?

I'd say buy the cheapest smallest used compatible stick of RAM you can get your hands on and use that until prices are "sane" again.

Look at it as a challenge to trim your system to run on as little RAM as possible and keep to low resource activities like 2D indie games if you were thinking of a gaming PC.

Second option is to just wait as others have said.
