Don’t pay more than S$30+ for a carton of 24 cans of beer this Chinese New Year.
Chinese New Year (CNY) is around the corner, and if you’ve been to a supermarket the past weekend, you would’ve probably jostled with the throngs of shoppers rushing to grab their CNY essentials before it happens on 22 January 2023.
Grocery shopping on the last weekend before the eve of CNY every year is kinda like my family’s tradition — so we’ve sorta become experts on the best CNY sales, especially when it comes to beer.
And let’s face it, no CNY family gathering is really complete without getting drunk sharing a couple of beers while catching up with relatives you meet once a year.

When is beer the cheapest in Singapore during CNY
According to our experience, the weekend before the eve of the New Year warrants the cheapest beer.
The cheapest beers in the supermarket are usually three brands — Tiger (best deal), Carlsberg (second best) and Heineken (third best).
Where to buy the cheapest beer in Singapore during CNY
Tiger Beer

This year, in 2023, the best price we found on a 24-can carton of Tiger Beer was S$37.50 at NTUC FairPrice. Inflation, maybe?
Carlsberg

The cheapest carton of Carlsberg we found went for S$19.75 for 12 cans at Sheng Siong Clementi West on 14 January 2023, making it only S$1.65 per can.
Heineken

Heineken is overall a more expensive brand of beer, and the best price we found was S$41.95 for 20 cans at NTUC FairPrice.
