Guys, CD prices have been reduced drastically over the last 1-2 years. Most new releases and best-sellers on major labels can be had for $10-13 plus taxes at most of the major chains, in comparison to $14-24 only a few years ago. Not only that, but there are back-catalogue CDs on sale all the time for $6-10, and even the price of imports/indies has come down. I remember paying $35 for Jay-Z's first album in 1997, as it was a US import. I could buy 3 CDs for that price today.
As a recent example, I bought the new Common CD for $10.99 at Future Shop on Tuesday (great album, btw), for $10.99. When I was 17, and buying new CDs every Tuesday, I would almost NEVER pay less than $16.99, and $17.99+ was the usual price.
