Clint's Crazy Bargains was the first bargain store chain in Australia and started in 1978 by Dave Rickards, Kerry Rickards, Norm O'Neill and Sue O'Neill. Opening 116 stores across New South Wales, Victoria and the ACT, eventually acquiring Fair Dinkum Bargains.

The company was responsible for the memorable and annoying TV advertisements featuring the excited phraze "It's Crazzzzy!"

The company mascot was Spike, a blue star shaped character, which looks a bit like Mr. Sneeze.

In 2000 the Clint's Crazy Bargains business was sold to the New Zealand company The Warehouse.[1]
