How to live cheap in style!

Posted by EliteTek on Jul 28, 2010 in General / Personal |

Please excuse the random logo, it’s all i could find in Google when searching for the keyword “cheap” plus i thought it looked pretty cool. Anyways recently i’ve noticed a few different ways of living life cheap whilst not looking it!

I’ve been working in corporate for the past two to three years and doing this involves a suit, tie, lanyard with buisness credentials and RFID etc..

Equipped with these following items i’ve noticed when ever you go into a shopping mall or buisness locations around you most offer discounts for mall or surrounding area employees. For example a shopping centre in Brisbane where i was visiting for a work relatated matter had four different shops offer resident discounts.

Mcdonalds, Gloria Jeans Coffee, David Jones and a few others. Usually when your suit’ed up the store clerks will ask you if you work in the centre.. *nod*.. you’ll get a 10% or 15% discount.

This doesn’t apply for all shops and the discounts may vary greatly. Your most likely to bag discounts at coffee outlets as they thrive on buisness types making repeat visits. Mind you McDonalds gave me an employee card at the Toowong centre in brisbane!

This doesn’t sound like much but it works out i’m saving a total of about twenty five dollars per week by applying these methods to my usual daily rituals.

That’s about it guys, have fun just wanted to drop this knowledge bomb on ya’ll

Wow, $25 dollars per week on McDonalds! That sounds much savings. I guess it pays to wear your ID. :)
