Loving library sales

So I have an addiction to buying music, but I've had to stop buying so much since losing my job. Digital downloads can be cheap, but they do add up.

Luckily I've scored a few CDs for as little as 50 cents at the library. Yes, really!

The libary branch by my house regularly puts books, CDs, DVDs and audio books on sale. I recently picked up a compilation of 60s rock classic songs, a recent Bon Jovi CD, Sarah Brightman and (blush) Robert Palmer's greatest hits. What can I say, "I'm Addicted to Love," umm, the 80s. I saw Barbara Streisand, The Platters, Adam Sandler, Beach Boys, Judy Collins, Michael Bolton, Gloria Estefan, some classical CDs, country music, etc. OK, you're not always going to score the latest hits. But you might be surprised.

I even lucked out on the Eclipse audio book for $1. The retail price on the back is listed as $57. Gulp.

Prices will vary. Typically audio books go for $3 and CDs for $1. So keep an eye out if you like bargains. And feel good about helping the library raise some money.

Cheers.
