Browsing last night I found a bin of cd's. Much to my suprise I found Steely Dan's "Can't Buy A Thrill" and Yes "Fragile" for $5 each. Also saw "Rumors" and some Metallica; many others that made me wonder. I am getting old since music I find glorious is in a bargin bin....I am sad....and old. I of course bought them since my copies were long since lost and am happy to enjoy them. To you old folks check out your local Walmart for some cheap tunes.

I have a used CD store in my area where I pick up music for dirt cheap all the time. Usually <$5 and <$10.

Forget Walmart. One of the biggest issues is that if a CD is 'Parental Advisory' they only carry the edited versions (at least last time I checked). 
 
Also, generally speaking you'll see most of the same CDs in every store's bargain section. I've noticed this from going to quite a few myself. My 2 top picks are Best Buy ($5 and $7 sections), and B&N ($5 and $7 sections). 
 
I find quite a few of my CDs there. I walked out with 13 CDs last time I went in.

 Talk about life coming full circle.  I was in high school in the late 70's and bought all of those same "cassettes" for $5 back then as well.  Nice that I can get a refreshed copy for the same price 35 years later.  LOL...

Wal-mart's insistence on censorship is a deal breaker for buying music there for me. I refuse to support that particular business practice. 
 
 
I found Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine for $4.99 at Best Buy. I don't think it has to make you old to find your music for cheap.

Half-Price Books has been my favorite source for cheap CDs here.  Most of my collection has come from their $3-and-under shelves, the discs are usually in great condition and I just buy packs of jewel cases to replace the ones that are scuffed or cracked.
