Try this, if you're comfortable with online shopping, go to Tower Records (
http://www.towerrecords.com ...it's a trust-worthy site), go to their sales bin and they have many gospel cds for $7 and less ...they're not new, but they still have some pretty good ones I think. (

Also try going to store in your cities that sell used cds, they're unsually in great condition. I buy many of my cds used at Wherehouse Music (a division of BlockBuster )...they're usually $7.99 and less, sometimes $9.99 for newer ones that were sold back. I bought Donnie McClurkin, T.D. Jakes, and Georgia Mass Choirs' recent albums used there.
So don't hold your nose up at used cds, they're great to but and in many of experiences are like brand new.
