My neighbor while growing up worked at a distribution center and would give me remainder comics. 

We would hit the dumpster behind the liquor store and score lots of remainder comics and even better...Playboys!

Dang, a dollar back then was a fortune.  I had to dig through trash cans in the early 1970s a kid to find pop bottles I could return to have money to buy comics. I never even got an allowance 

Ditto.  My sole source of income as a kid in the 80s was 25cents a week to pull in neighbors garbage cans.
