Little Creatures Pale Ale 330ml - $36 Per Carton (24 Single Bottles) C&C @ BWS (Usually ~ $70)

7840

Currently, Little Creatures Pale Ale is on special at BWS online for $57 a carton or $2 per single. That in itself makes no sense, since $2x $24 = $48.

However there is also a promotion where you can 'Mix and Match' 8 or more singles and a 25% discount will automatically be applied. So:

1) Confirm the price for Little Creatures Pale Ale is $2.00 per single bottle (I've found that BWS online prices can vary, but a quick check shows the same price in a few different states).

2) Add 24 single bottles to your cart. The discount of 25% should be applied, taking the price from $48 to $36.

Combine with 5% off WiSH eGift cards to bring it down further to $34.20. Cashrewards for BWS is also an option (1.70%).

UPDATE Some comments below indicate website ordering may not be working but app orders still going through. If out of stock, try changing store.

UPDATE 2 Until anyone can confirm otherwise, it appears this deal has expired. Product has now been removed from BWS website.

UPDATE 3 Unexpired due to multiple reports of people being able to successfully place orders in the comments (QLD, WA, VIC). However, it appears you may have trouble finding stock.

    • And if you went in to pick it up there would have been a full slab waiting for you for the cost of $1.50 :)

  • Picked up my orders.. Got a full carton (still sealed up) at one store and 2 full 6 packs at the other.

  • Got to pick up order. Guy said only 11 available
    I said all good

    Comes back with a slab says the 11 was for someone else

    Winning !

    Offer is still working in store until close of trade tonight. Will limit you to 2 singles for $2 each, but there’s no limit as to how many transactions a customer can make if you’ve got the time to buy 2 at a time ;)

  • Just picked up on VIC. Thanks OP.

    It looks like it was a marketing success. Now we all know of Thong Thursday! I wonder what's up next week :)

    • It has a name? Haha

    • +3

      Little Creatures will be happy. Big order coming their way to replenish BWS stocks.

    • Ummm I think it's the Tanqueray RTDs. You won't get the 25% discount for a craft beer 8 pack though.

      • Nice, will keep an eye out for it :)

  • Just picked up my 2 cases - bloody sensational!

  • Picked up without too much hassle, only ordered 12 stubbies. Hadn't cleared the security check 3h after ordering when I went to the store. The lady was apologetic and quickly provided me with my drinks 👍

  • Picked up 4 cases (2 at 2 different locations) with no issues.
    Easily bargain of the month!

    Thanks, grabbed a box in store. Only let me buy one though.

  • Expired? Can't find any around me, WA for those interested.

    • Nathan P got 6+ cases from Coolbellup BWS

    Just picked up 2 cases in Dee Why, they had 6 more cases on a trolley waiting to be collected.

    Just picked up my 2 cases from a western suburb store vic hassle free and then I asked the guy if I could buy another case (they had about 6 on display) it scanned $58 …. showed him my phone with the $36 price after 30sec he worked out it was Thursday thong or something so then opens up the box scans 1 bottle price instantly dropped to $36 for the case . Winning . Thanks again OP.

    • what Thong.!?

      • I seem to remember they had some promo on a while ago, wear your thongs in for a special offer…

  • Purchased the last 16 bottles at Innaloo, WA

  • Apparently part of thong thursday deal.

    I only got one @ $48, stupid me. At least my fellow OzB followers are enjoying the same drop. Merry Xmas and thanks OP.

    Is it still working for some?

  • Mine are best before July 2020.
    It tastes a bit oxidised (cardboard, caramel, sherry).

    What are yours dated?

    • Mine were July 2020 as well in Sydney western suburbs. Saw a few other people post the same. They must have just got a big delivery! Another big one incoming too now to replenish all the stock.

  • BWS Albert street Brisbane still have but I think not much left.
    Good luck everyone 😊

    I went to pick up my order up from Lisrow NSW and they only allowed me to have 2 bottles out of 48.

    They rubbed salt into the wounds by having 10 on ice in the counter.

    No refund yet for the beers not supplied.

    • +2

      That's b(w)s. Sorry to hear that ☹️

    • Oof.

    • That's pretty bad. I had no problem picking up 2 cases at Wyoming BWS (about 3pm yesterday).

  • 2 cases for $76 & ShopBack just confirmed $1.44 cash back.
    Thanks OP

    • Yeah got my 60 odd cents worth for a case… winning

  • +1

    Done . Ordered 24. WA 6061

  • Anyone know if any stores in Adelaide still have some? I'm using the app and can't find the item at all

  • my local pickup was trying to tell me I should have received an email advising of refund, error with system and BWS was refunding… finally check his handheld and saw my name - says I was lucky….. hmmmmmmm
    he told me should have been max 2 bottles for $2 each, not as many as one liked.
    I left with 30 bottles - great deal OP

    • Haha as if the guy cared. It's not coming out of his pay 🙄

  • Don't forget the extra 10 Cents per bottle if you live in a state that recycles. $2.40 Per case.

    • -3

      why don't they do every state? it's a quite a very great incentive

      • Because we have recycling bins and states lose money running the program.

        • +3

          Actually the only loser is the consumer. All the manufacturers jacked up their prices by 10 cents per bottle/can to cover their costs.

          So if the consumer doesn't return to earn the 10 cents per bottle they lose out from initial higher cost of product.

      • +5

        Because in reality it’s a stupid scheme?

        I already recycle everything I can in my recycling bin. When this scheme comes to WA next year, I will not only be paying 10c extra per bottle/can (generally, there are exceptions like this deal) to then have to collect all my bottles and cans and load them up in my car to take somewhere to then get this 10c back.

        How on earth does this make me actually want to recycle more than I already do? They’re just making it more difficult for me and paying extra for it (which I’m already paying for recycling through my council rates).

        • be paying 10c extra per bottle/can

          …ok

          • +1

            @capslock janitor: So a slab of beer every week

            You're paying ~$125/yr extra..or ~4 slabs of beer every year. Unless you spend almost that in petrol + time & effort returning bottles to be recycled….or you can put them in your recycling bin, which you already paying for.

        • Classic gov…

        • Seriously? Ignorant me but I completely missed that news. Well that sucks.

          We've just switched to the three bin system here and have the bin police looking through our bins every week to make sure we're putting stuff in the right one (which I was doing before on the two bin system anyway)

          So then I'm going to have to collect up my bottles and cans in a fourth so I can spend more in petrol and time than I'll probably get refunded to do what I was already doing anyway?

          Thanks for that Labor…

          • @bamzero:

            Thanks for that Labor…

            Yeah, let’s not bring politics into this, the Liberals had planned to bring it in as well when Barnett was still premier

            The scheme was introduced in NSW in 2017 by the current LNP state government there too, so both sides of politics are introducing it.

            Remember it is called a container deposit scheme. Just seems another way for the big 5 in Coca-Cola Amatil, Carlton United Brewers, Lion, Coopers and Asahi to profit from holding all the deposit amounts that people don’t collect. It should be them funding it instead, not just passed onto us (although even if it wasn’t passed onto consumers directly, they’d all find a way to pass it on anyway).

            • @Nousernamehere: Fair call, they're all as bad as each other.

              But yeh, given the group managing the scheme was established by Coca-Cola and Lion you're probably not wrong.

          • @bamzero: NSW Liberal brought the dumb scheme here…

      If my maths is correct, $55 is more than $36

      • There was a deal recently for leffe for 60, that was better deal on a much better beer, but only had like 50 votes

      This is why OzB has “L-plates”.
      Some folks just don’t get it

    • At $36 that's a $19 saving on the $55 price. Still awesome.. I mean where can you get such a good slab of beer for $36?

    Just picked up mine…
    Lady at the counter gave me a knowing grin & said I was "very lucky".

    Mine was the only order of Little Creatures in the "Click & Collect" area.

    P.S
    Interestingly, it came as 4 x 6 packs instead of a proper sealed slab.

  • Picked up both of mine without any problems, saw 3 more waiting to be picked up. Thanks OP! Cracker deal.

    Picked up 2 slabs this morning. Got lucky that the store clerk was super nice and friendly.

    Apparently there's a notice from head office sent this morning to all store managers not to honor the deals but the clerk was sticking it to the man and said he hasn't gotten specific instructions yet so will keep letting them go through until told directly by his manager.

    • Too late not to honour the deals if people already got pick up notification. I'll be going to get mine shortly.

    • picked up 2 slabs from one place and 3 from another. All sorted for a Merry christmas :)

  • Picked up 2 slabs from Coburg this morning. The guy was super friendly and didn't seem to think anything was weird about it. Merry Christmas Ozb!

  • Just picked up my 1 carton, no issues at all. Staff member was friendly. Only got my notification to collect at 11:35 this morning. What a deal. Thanks.

    Picked up a slab last night from Schofields. Ladies in the stores were just so rude. One took my Licence for ID check came back with a slab and broken licence card. I asked what happened to the licence, she said that's how I gave it to her. I just couldn't believe what just happened.

  • Rofl, went to pick up and they said it was a glitch and there were a few very very heated emails going around between managers yesterday, lol

  • I ordered 3 cartons. Picked up 1 near my work place - staff member was very friendly and mentioned nothing our of the ordinary. The 2nd pick up, near my house for 2 cartons was a different story. The manager there was not happy and very rude. Said they caught on to our trick very quickly and shut it down.. not quickly enough obviously ;-) cheers BWS!

    • obviously a manager with a power ego,

      wow he caught onto the trick, bet you he can gloat to his wife he stopped an international little creatures smuggling operation

  • My local BWS was super friendly no mention of anything. The superviser even loaded it into my trolley for me. Had a laugh. I did order as soon as this deal was posted though.

  • Picked up two cases this afternoon. Staff were friendly and didn’t mention anything. Thanks OP!

  • +1

    The lady at my local said when she got the order she was wondering if I got the whole carton @ $2/bottle. Told her managed it for $1.5 cause the website let me and she just smiled and laughed

  • +20

    OP here, finally got around to collecting orders from "Thong Thursday". Staff at both stores seemed to have done so many of these orders now that they were pretty nonchalant about it. But then again I neglected to mention being the one who posted the deal…

    Great to see so many of you were able to get in on this & kudos to BWS for honouring the orders in most cases (even if it was mostly due to decent/oblivious staff and failure pick up on the website glitch in time).

    Merry Christmas OzBargain - cheers!

      I just opened a cold bottle. Nothing better than a cold beer that cost almost nothing.

    Picked up 4 cartons best day of my life thanks OP

  • Picked up today no problem (or attitude). Weekend staff may be oblivious to Creaturegeddon.

  • My order got cancelled

    "Due to RSA the manager has had to cancel your order, we are sorry for the lack of communication in the matter but there was a a genuine pricing error on the website and we are not allowed to supply the items at the price it was."

    • Thats a shit reply on multiple levels
      If i had the time and energy id be making a complaint

    • RSA? BS

  • Anyone got any WA stores still doing $2 a bottle? I can only find $5 a bottle

    • Thong Thursday again tomorrow. It won't be Little Creatures but you might find that it's a very enjoyable beer, it might even be the Greatest Of All Time.
