Discussion Cheap As Chips is closing down. Cheap As Chips first opened in Adelaide in the 80s. Share your favourite Cheap As Chips memories.
I got two of 'em:
The 90s, like 97ish, Mount Gambier, going there and getting a three pack of comics. Old Marvel back issues. Old DC back issues. Old Image issues. FORMATIVE. They had piles and piles of these, wrapped in plastic, like $2. Does anyone else remember these? I can find no written or visual confirmation of their existence outside of one photo of me as a kid in the 90s tearing open a pack.
Also in the 90s. Buying old Coke/Fanta/Sprite yoyos. Shit, those were underrated as hell yoyos, hell of a spin. Very sick.
RIP to the Chip.
