Managed to pick up cheapest case of asahi I've had in a while so thought I'd share with the community.
I know people have their issues with shopback, but I've had no issues claiming cashback so far.
Case of the imported Asahi 500ml cans comes down to just under $45 using the frenzy code and shopback cashback.
Hope someone makes use of it. Enjoy!
Mod Note: Price may vary in other states due to container deposit scheme.
But that's where the best Asahi comes from. The Aus made stuff pales by comparison.
Aus made beer in general or Aus made Asahi? The bottled Asahi comes from China, no? I will take my chances with Fukushima lol
Not sure, been a while since I've drunk it. I'm just going by this
https://www.liquorland.com.au/beer/asahi-soukai-bottle-330ml…
Origin: Australia
@outlander: The Asahi Soukai is a different one (mid strength). That's made in Australia, but outsourced to one of the local brewers I forget which one off the top of my head, pretty sure it says on the label, though. I haven't tried that one myself, so no idea what it's like.
The bottled Asahi seems to vary. It used to come from Thailand, then for a time it was coming from China. Most recent one I looked at was made in Australia (by the Australian arm of Asahi). Haven't tried it to see if it's an improvement on the dogp*ss from China - best bet is too stick to the proper Asahi Super Dry from Japan in cans, or the Asahi Black in bottles which I also love - probably rate it higher than the Super Dry.
Why would you pass on a product made in it's ORIGINAL country? The OG formulas are always better, and people are keen to pay import markup just to have the proper taste.
Seller in title?
Done thanks, sorry, too quick hitting submit
DANG - these guys never have the cans - so bought some other crappy beer…noooooo!!!!
It is so Cold to have Beer 🤪
Price paid to store is $63, and then Cashback months later.
Really good stuff. For anyone whose not a big drinker, this is perhaps the best beer to keep on hand.
-It's got a very neutral, dry flavor. No sharpness or bitterness that regular beer drinkers often term as 'character'
-It's well known around the world as a quality beer.
-It comes in standard size. 500ml @ 5% equals 2 standard drinks, which is around the perfect target for getting slightly tipsy. Source
-At $45 for a 24pk, it's very very well priced. If you compared it to the standard 375ml can or 330ml glass bottle, you'd have to pay $30 or less for the slab to get the same value.
I really wish 2 drinks got me tipsy, drinking would be much cheaper and more fun!
The trick is not to have any food or water for a couple of days before drinking alcohol. Then 2 drinks should be more than enough to get a nice little buzz.
And imagine how much you can save by no eating for a couple days too.. Ozbargain at its best again!
Good price, used the cashback already tho!
Shopback cashback expires after a year.
Since when? I've had it up for years. Only if you don't use your account for 12 months.
since they sent me an email saying that my cashback is gone and they wont give it back
Awesome - thanks OP. Was time for me to restock these bad boys!
OOS QLD… apparently
No just ordered from Helensvale QLD.
Ordered one for a pick from Waterford Qld
Best I ever paid was $45 per slab from Aldi about 4 years ago :)
$70 in NSW
FYI the 330mL bottles are now brewed in Australia. I had one the other night…
And looks like it's sold out in VIC. I get the following message when I try to add it for click and collect: "Removed product Asahi Super Dry Cans 500mL in VIC as it is no longer in stock."
OOS VIC
Thanks Op
discount was $7 but delivery was $7 lmaoo oh well
Missed it by that much Max .. 😒 .. !!
Bought these a few week ago with similar deal with cash back. Excellent beer, Japanese brewed Asahi is so much better. (as it is with German brewed Becks etc…)
Don't seem to be getting this price in VIC. $66 - $6.60 (FRENZY) = $59.40 and ShopBack says 1% ($0.59) for beer, so total would be $58.81. Am I missing something?
If these are $45 for a slab then I want to stock up.
Deal appears to have expired. It was working last night and I got confirmation the shopback was being tracked this morning ($18). So comes down to $41.40
Use the cashrewards 20% today
Does that work with the frenzy code as well?
Yes it worked. But ATM NSW stores have no stock of Asahi.
@Wolfmother: 'No stock in QLD' apparently but changed stores and went through so we'll see.
Cashback tracked as 12.55 = $50.18 all up. Not sure how people got $45.
I used cashrewards first time ever and got $12.55. How long does it take for them to approve the withdrawal?
They put 100 days, but it seems too long for me.
The taxman is taking too much
Picked up mine this afternoon, Oct 2021 expiry. Enough time to finish them off.
19.01.22 :)
I'm sure Oct is fine too
