 getting cheap CD's in 4 easy steps:
 
 1.
 a) order from bestbuy.com where cd's are very cheap and you
 
 can get free shipping on 1 item.
 b) go to bn.com and perform these next 3 steps:
 
 2. sign up for a reader's advantage club. for 12 months you
 
 get 10% discount in stores (useless since prices are jacked
 
 up in the the shop) and 5% discount online. when you order a
 
 lot like me this 5% quickly pays off the $25 it costs for a
 
 year. ALSO, you get 2 cards, so you can pick another person
 
 to get the same discount, for free.
 
 3. check here regularly and use the
 discount codes.
 
 4. with your discount information above, order any 2 items
 (such as 2 cd's regularly priced at $12.99) and get free
 shipping. after the discount your cd could be as cheap as
 $9.
 
 note #1: this is provided that you have no moral objection
 to patronizing multi-million or billion dollar corporations
 
 in order to save a few bucks.
 
 note #2: it's oftentimes cheaper, and, for some, more
 ethical and satisfying, to order direct from the label site.
 
 for hefty records albums are $10 and ep's $7, with $1.50 for
 
 shipping. www.heftyrecords.com. also, this isn't a label
 site, but bentcrayon.com and strangefortune.com offer very
 good prices for electronic music. hiphopsite.com offers good
 
 prices too but the added bonus is you can get so many
 freebies through ordering, including exclusives like bonus
 discs, t-shirts, and posters.
 
 note #3: it's cheapest to buy cd's used, especially promos,
 
 but that doesn't support the artists because 1) promos are
 pressed as loss leaders, profit-cutting cd's pressed for
 journalists and radio stations in hopes of creating interest
 
 in the album so that people will legitimately pay for them.
 
 these cd's are technically owned by the labels anyway and
 lent to people as promos, which sadly get sold a lot (i've
 bought my share). so everytime you buy a promo, whether used
 
 or unwrapped, you're taking money away from artists who you

 recently.
