Prices are on the rise across Ireland as cost of living surges impact millions of households.
Grocery bills, fuel and energy prices and other utilities are all on the rise amid climbing inflation.
Consumers will be noticing lighter pockets, particularly those who enjoy socialising across the country's pubs and restaurants.
Thankfully, a bargain can still be found in many of the nation's rural bars where prices are far from the high cost of a pint in the capital.
Ireland's cheapest pint of Guinness has previously been attributed to Helen's Bar in Kilmackillogue, Co Kerry where a glass of the black stuff sets you back €3.90.
However, this has been trumped by a new apparent titleholder of the best-value pub for a Guinness.
McNulty's Bar in Creeslough, Co Donegal, currently offers patrons a pint for just €3.80.
However, bargain hunters will need to be quick to avail of the amazing price as the bar expects prices to go up "soon".
While a definite date or new price weren't revealed, it is anticipated that pints will go up in price nationwide in line with a recent announcement from drinks company Diageo.
The Guinness manufacturer is planning to raise the price of a pint by 6% from February 17, meaning consumers will likely pay up to 20c more for their drink.
The cost of Diageo draught beers will rise by 6%, excluding VAT, which means pubs that currently sell Guinness for lower than average prices will likely have to tack on the increase to each pint.
This is echoed by McNulty's who believe the move from Diageo will mean their €3.80 price tag won't last for much longer.
Visitors to the rural pub hail the quality of the pints, with the bar mentioned by many as the place to visit for a bargain.
One former patron said: "Lovely pint. Good atmosphere."
A second said: "Not a tourist pub but a genuine Irish bar used by the locals. Big roaring turf fire always on the go and spontaneous singing breaking out at anytime!"
A third commented: "Good pints. Friendly gentleman working here. The locals had the craic with us. Nice local pub."
While another visitor said: "It is a down to earth, local watering hole that provides an opportunity to chat with the native folks of Creeslough - some of the nicest folks you will ever meet.
"The owner, John, is a wealth of information about the area and its history. Great beers, great conversation, and a taste of real Donegal.
"Make this your base while you find time to explore the area."
