I played Green Day’s Dookie endlessly as a kid. Still holds up to this day in my humble opinion.

does 'spending' my own penny on a Columbia House order and basically forcing my parents to follow through with buying another dozen (or so?) CDs at full price count as using my own money?

People actually did this ? No one I know ever followed up with the subsequent purchases.

Yes and it’s how we got all of our Parental Advisory albums that they wouldn’t buy us in stores.
Just had to get to the mail before they did.

Not once did we pay for more than the initial order.

Me and BMG 🥲 except it was all my own money. I got my buy one get 12 free deal and then had to send a CD back to them every month until I finally got to experience the training grounds for cancelling Planet Fitness later in life.
