“On a visit home I went to their new location (they were displaced from their Uptown home by yet another condo) and left with $120 worth of random CD's and DVDs.”

What customers say

Very cheap cassettes with a wide variety! There were only a handful that went above 5 dollars. The most expensive cassette there was just 20$ and that was the only one. Majority are priced about 1.95. Anything above that and they are probably in a special case anyway. The cassettes were all organized well too!

I love Cheapo. I've been coming since 1992 and it's one of my favorite things in the Twin Cities. On a visit home I went to their new location (they were displaced from their Uptown home by yet another condo) and left with $120 worth of random CD's and DVDs.

Pretty extensive collection of CDs, DVDs, Blu Rays and vinyl records. This store is huge! Their sorting was a little different for me - having classic rock and modern rock in two different sections, but maybe that's just me.

★★★★☆ — Yaron, 2024-09

HUGE record store! The CD, vinyl, and poster options, along with vinyl cleaning supplies is extensive. The environment of the store is fine - harsh overhead lighting, but the laid back vibe of the store makes up for it.
