All you have to do is head into Dan’s.

What if we told you that, right now, if you head into your local Dan’s store you can get your hands on some shiny new drinks for just $4. That’s less than a coffee, less than a loaf of bread, and, let’s face it, less than most things these days. So, take this as your sign to pop into uncle Dan’s and snag an absolute bargain (PSA: this is an in-store only deal).

The best news? We’ve got something for everyone – there’s a pale ale, a lager and a ginger beer, plus a few grab-and-go premixes, from the classics to one that’s a little more adventurous. And because wallets are doing it tough right now, we’ve matched them to our favourite cheap eats, too.

1. Brookvale Union Ginger Beer Low Sugar

A ginger beer that’s low in sugar? We love to see it. That’s exactly what you get from the team at Brookvale Union. It’s dry and spicy, and not as sweet as its OG gingery counterpart. And a steal calls for a steal, so we’re pairing this ginger beer with everyone’s favourite sandwich – the crispy pork bánh mì with extra chilli.

2. Stone & Wood Easy Pale Ale

Looking for something easy? Look no further than the Stone & Wood Easy Pale Ale. It’s a smooth mid-strength that’s all about mango, mandarin and guava. Easy drinking needs some easy snacking to go with it, and, for us, that can only mean one thing – hot chippies with extra chicken salt.

3. Heineken Silver

Heineken’s Silver is light on carbs – 99% light on to be exact. Fun fact: the Silver is brewed at -1 degrees. This helps to make it smooth, sweet and less bitter than other Heinekens in the line-up, so if you’re newer to beer, this is a good place to start. Serve this super chilled, alongside a kebab with loads of garlic sauce.

4. Sour Puss Alcoholic Sour Watermelon

If you’re the sour-over-sweet type then you’ll love Sour Puss Alcoholic Sour Watermelon (especially if if you also love a little nostalgia). It’s exactly what you’d expect: bright and fruity with a lip-smacking tang, all rounded out with a lolly-like sweetness. Pair it with sweet and sour pork from your local.

5. Bacardi Rum and Coca-Cola

Thelma and Louise, Batman and Robin, bacon and eggs, peanut butter and jam (jelly if you prefer) – yes, we’re talking iconic duos, and that collection of icons includes rum and coke (Bacardi and Coca-Cola, to be exact). It’s crisp and smooth, and there are flavours of caramel and vanilla, along with that classic Coca-Cola fizz. This one pairs best with DIY taco night.

6. Jameson Smooth Dry Lime 4.8%

What’s better than coming home after a long day and cracking open a crisp can of Jammo? We're talking about Jameson Smooth Dry Lime. There’s juicy lime, smooth Irish whiskey and that signature dry ginger. We love our Jammo with a big batch of boiled dumplings from the Asian grocer, drenched in soy, vinegar and chilli.
