Columbia House Records
Who remembers Columbia House-buy 11 cassette tapes for a penny and get the 12th for free in the 80's? What a deal!
I was a huge music lover and loved getting mail. All you had to do for this unbelievable deal was buy at least one cassette every month at full price for a year after sending a shinny penny to Columbia House.
Momma would get so mad every year when I'd sneak and tape a penny to an ad and send the list of 12 music tapes I wanted. Oh the joy of selecting the 12 cassettes! But narrowing down was difficult. Usually while ordering I'd already be planning what I'd buy the next month. Of course this deal was a huge trap and momma could see. But I loved music and I'd sneak and do it all over again.
Oh, the 80's, best decade ever...
