What Would You Buy If Albums Were $1?

There's a dollar store right next to where I work and I go there nearly daily to buy TV dinners for lunch, drinks, candy, and other stuff.
A few days back, I saw that they got some music CD's in. I didn't take a look at their selection until today but I found an interesting variety. The CD's included:
- Soundtracks to Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls and Beyond The Sea
- Paris Hilton's ill-fated attempt at music
- Two different Barenaked Ladies albums (and one might've been two-disc)
- At least two different Phish albums
Also among the small selection was Bjork's most recent studio album, Volta. I had mixed feelings about the album after hearing it and every time I thought about buying it, it was just more expensive than I wanted to pay. However, it's certainly worth the $1 I spent on it today. Hell, that's even cheaper than the used CD's I've bought in the past.
By the way, these CD's aren't bootlegs or anything like that. They are the same copies you'd find (or used to find) in stores. My copy of Volta came in that same bright red digipak packaging I kept passing by in Best Buy and Borders.
I wonder if, with the continuing rise of digital, will things like this become more commonplace. I don't want the CD to die entirely but if/when it does, it could be a lot of fun searching for hidden gems amongst the dollar store bins.

I would not buy any of those for a $1 except the Bjork. But I agree that it is a good find!
