Crazy Prices (occasionally Super Crazy Prices) was a supermarket chain operating in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland formerly owned by Associated British Foods. When Associated British Foods sold its Irish operation in the late 1990s to Tesco, the stores were rebranded to Tesco (in Northern Ireland) and Tesco Ireland (in the Republic).
Crazy Prices were noted for concentration on price reductions at the expense of presentation, including the Yellow Pack brand and presenting goods to shoppers still in warehouse packaging. They were among the first supermarkets in Ireland to regularly offer late-night opening - further detailed in the Tesco Ireland article.
Famous quotes containing the words crazy and/or prices:
“What else are we gonna live by if not dreams? We need to believe in something. What would really drive us crazy is to believe this reality we run into every day is all there is. If I don’t believe there’s that happy ending out there—that will-you- marry-me in the sky—I can’t keep working today.”
—Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
“United Fruit... United Thieves Company... it’s a monopoly ... if you won’t take their prices they let your limes rot on the wharf; it’s a monopoly. You boys are working for a bunch of thieves, but I know it ain’t your fault.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
