I can't honestly say that But I just hate those places. My mother virtually lives in them (but then there are plenty of them in Redcar ).

Yes, they are similar, but not everything costs $2 these days

There are many of these around, especially in the Sydney Western Suburbs, probably because Crazy Clints was one of the big ones, and they had their main office in Blacktown.

2 buck shops are cool for all those little kitchen things you forgot to pack etc, and for cheap kids toys. There are also shops like "Red dot stores" which has more expensive but bigger things like laundry baskets, shoe racks, picture frames blablabla. Crazy Clarkes in WA is also similar and WA Salvage is good for stuff you'd find more expensive in Bunnings (I think it's all the Bunnings end of line stuff?). Worth getting to know what they sell as you'll pay more in Bunnings/Kmart/Coles etc. and don't ya just love a bargain!

There is a great 22 buck shop in Perth City.
It is located close to a typical tourist shop that flogs all the t-shirts and souveneirs for $$$$$$$$$.
Get exactly the sami for 2 bucks in the 2 buck shop!!!!

Is Crazy Clint any relation to Crazy Clark?

Crazy Clarks are not related to Crazy Clints, but they were related to Silly Sollys.
Both Crazy Clints and Silly Sollys were taken over by The Warehouse Group.

Crazy John's is totally different, and sell nothing for $2

This thread has now got us talking of areas we will definitely not be going to ! ! !

With names like that it sounds like some sort of comedy sketch or towns in deepest southern parts of the USA full of inbreeds!

No offence of course.

You should see the ads for all these places, they are totally insane and catchy. WA Salvage features a guy called "Luigi" with a knotted hanky on his head, when I went in there for Xmas decs there was an Italian guy playing the keyboard and singing carols in an operatic voice... it was cool!
There are several 2 buck places at "Waneroo Market" in Waneroo, Perth. They're good for pocket money bits for the kids plus you'd be amazed what you can get for 2 bucks
