By far a better store than Dr. Wax, though its selection is a little pretentious. What about Vintage Vinyl? By far a better store than Dr. Wax, though its selection is a little pretentious.

I'm actually really into doing this kind of thing; I've been writing down the prices for orange juice, milk, bread, etc. at all the local conveince stores. Knowledge is power! This particular one isn't that useful to me because I rarely purchase music anymore. The "Buy 3, Get one free!" deals are usually saving the customer money per album, but causing them to buy more albums. It's actually a win-win if you like buying your albums in bulk - you get cheaper prices, and Barnes & Nobles makes money because you're still paying a ridiculous price for 3 albums, and they're worried more about total profit than profit per disc. Anyway, if you need any help gathering information for future columns, I'll hit the streets. This is a great column.
