Dollar tree cds

CDs are showing up at many dollar tree stores. Ymmv. They seem to be mainly from the concord family of labels. I got 19 th holes a 2 CD jazz compilation, the Hudson project ( Abercrombie, mintzer,erskine and patitucci), a lady smith black mambazo, James Barnes 3030 hindsight-2 CD,an ozomatli, JP and Chrissie hyndes, and a telarc classic Brahms requiem. There were some soundtracks too.

 

the cut-out bins used to be wonderful places, this is good news.

 

I should point out for those who care some had drill holes and others did not

 

You got my attention! I'm a sucker for a $1 CD.

Here in the Los Angeles area, I went to both my nearby Dollar Tree's. Neither one had CD's, but both had stacks of merchandise in cardboard boxes that have yet to be put onto the floor. I live in one of the areas where finding employees is tough - both stores seemed understaffed, and the aisles were messy and low on stock.

One employee told me that when they get blu-rays, typically one or two customers will come in and buy the entire inventory at once. He thinks that could happen with CD's, he's not sure.

Anyway, there's a 2-minute video on YouTube from someone reporting the same thing from his local Dollar Tree Store. The stock he shows is not Concord-label-style but mostly 2000 - 2010 rock and rap. His video is here: .

Although I saw a Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and that's a Requiem in the front of one of the rows.

 

Man, that is one TERRIBLE video. Let someone who actually has a clue do that video.

 

What department/section of the store are they usually found? (I realize every store might be different.)

I was in a Dollar Tree last weekend, and while they had a section with books (plenty of $1 Bibles...!), I didn't see any CDs, Blu-Rays, etc.

 

They are usually in the electronic section near cell phone accessories

 

I used to see Ozomatli at their weekly gig at The Dragonfly (same place where the Chili Peppers got their start) 25 years ago. Good times.

 

Thanks! I only gave the briefest glance down that aisle, and since I wasn't looking to buy any $1 earbuds or USB cables, I moved on. I will take a closer look there in the future!

 

Good to know, now I have a reason to go into a Dollar Tree.

 

They sometimes rarely have eagle rock DVDs. I recently got queen making a night at the opera DVD there.

 

Man, a lot of the WEA stuff is stuff we had a heard time giving away to accounts. Oh well. Somebody found a way to clear the pallets in the warehouse.

 

Then you are really not going to like his Dollar Tree Rap video

 

Thanks for sharing, I drive by them all the time.. and sometimes go in. I have small kids, and you can't beat the price for art supplies. Crayola stuff too, not even off-brand.

 

I have been to four Dollar Tree stores in Southern California this week (every time I pass one, I check in). None have any CDs.

 

I stopped at my local Dollar Tree yesterday - they had two boxes of CDs, maybe 100 in total. Odd assortment, but I picked up three discs:

Nickel Creek - Why Should The Fire Die?
The Jayhawks - Mockingbird Time
The Chieftans/Ry Cooder - San Patricio (Deluxe CD/DVD edition)

 

I have yet to see these CDs on the East Coast.

 

Will have to check into. Every time I go in there everything costs much more than a dollar!!!!

 

I can confirm they are on the east coast. I picked up a Ben Webster - Centennial Celebration in Phillipsburg, NJ last weekend. I have been to two of my local Manhattan Dollar Tree stores which had nothing.

The NJ store had maybe 60-70 CD's. Far more DVD's than CD's. Nothing much to my taste. But hey, one dollar!

 

We have a brand new Dollar Tree nearby, and I've been tempted to stop in to check for CDs. Then I remember the one CD that I bought in a DT probably 12 years ago... Bjork's Volta, which I still haven't opened.

 

I will check the next time we go...wow, interesting...I rather have more blu-rays!

 

Heres what I picked up at a Michigan store. Will have to check out some other stores.

You might be thinking of Dollar General.

 

Or the mis-named "99 Cents Only" store.

 

Stopped into a Dollar Tree while on my way to pick up my son from school.......nada.
