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:
“I started out very quiet and I beat Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“To expect to increase prices and then to maintain them at a higher level by means of a plan which must of necessity increase production while decreasing consumption is to fly in the face of an economic law as well established as any law of nature.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
