Crazy Clark's is one where there seem to be a lot of cheap pound shop type stuff. It is a chain.

There is an IKEA in Sydney(Eastern Suberbs) I find it comforting that all the junk I leave here can be replaced just 30 mins from Kingsford Smith. Also there are $1 dollar shops everywhere ,crammed to the brim with all the junk you`ll find at Poundland etc.Happy shopping!

Primark wise clothing shops I'd say Best & Less is a close equivelent. There are probably others but I'm not really a shopper, once a year for a few new bit's does me.

There are still dozens of $1 shops, particularly in low-rent areas - Clints Crazy Bargains, GoLo etc.

Has anyone else noticed that Crazy Clarkes stock Boots shampoo sometimes, and once I saw Asda and Wilko's products there. Needless to say I bought them, how sad am I

Best ones in Adelaide are
Spend a Penny at Ingle Farm shopping centre, always spend loads more than a penny in there
Cunninghams Main North Road, he sells M&S knickers

I spent an hour in the smaller IKEA near Beenleigh (that included sitting down eating a hot dog) that was way too long for me. You were there a day - how? why? aggggghhhhhh having a panic attack :scared:
