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

barnes & noble . com is pretty good for prices but they don't stock many of the smaller labels that i've been into recently.
