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.

“Tell me, how do you cope so calmly
With crazy youth’s arrogant way?
Indeed, youth would be insufferable,
Had I myself not also been insufferable.”

“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”
