Guessing as far as used albums go, the Value Villages of the world, FB Marketplace, etc, but any other places to buy I'm not thinking of?

There's nothing good at any thrift stores, you might find a gem once every 50 visits. They are all grandpa albums or orchestra stuff.
What albums/genre are you looking for? Just check out the used bins at Sloth Records, Hot Wax, the shelves of Recordland or their discount bin that they sometimes have, the discount bins of Turn it Up on 16th, etc. It's going to cost you $5-$10 at a minimum for low value pop records. Sometimes Sunrise has a discount bin as well but mostly modern items.
The cheapest you might find some throwaway albums that might be decent for display is maybe Buy & Sell Store on MacLeod but same price point.
You aren't going to find any decent cheap albums unless you really go thrifting every single day.
