Did any of you also grow up in a family where being told "No" was actually good (since most of the time asking for even something small like a candy bar would result in being scolded)

No. If you had parents said no to basically everything like I did, you'll eventually reach the mentality where you're just expected to not have anything good thing in life. This permeates onto job prospects, relationships etc. Thankfully I unlearned this mentality in my early 20's, but the damage was already done.

My parents didn't say anything at all because they were constantly drunk and giggling like retards. I have no idea how they managed to maintain having jobs. They weren't mean or abusive or anything but they were very neglectful and incompetent.

my parents used to give me stuff only if I "worked hard for them", doing things like getting good grades or washing my dad's car. It was really frustrating as a kid since I watched my friends and cousins get gifts for nothing, now as an adult I think they were a bit harsh, but good parents after all

My parents coomer'd me into existence without actually wanting to be parents. They're getting the retirement home treatment.
