some of the cheap steak deals can be horrid. I never trust any steak under $10!
But I am a big fan of Glenmore hotel in the rocks on monday and tuesday are $10 steak and it is the same steak as the $20 on their food menu0 -

- Thai Brown Rice - Shop 76, Spring St, Bondi Junction - Hidden away from the hustle and bussle , some tasty food here for next to nothing!
- Paddys Market, Haymarket for fresh fruit and veg (a third of the price of what coles and woolies)
- Pitt Street - Loads of nice little asian places to eat
- China Town - Same as above

best $10 steaks in the whole of sydney was the burbon in kings cross.........
since its been closed after the rain damage, we've been going to the kings cross hotel but not the same
Haven't tried KC Hotel but Sugarmill is a pretty decent alternative to the Bourbon.
Also, St James Hotel on Castlereagh doesn a decent cheap steak, think it's a bit more than $10 though0 -

Yep, $5.90 Domino's on Tuesdays..know what I'm having for lunch! 0 -
$5.90?! :eek: Fockin ell, I reckon I can't pass up that bargain :eek:
Anyone see those ads for Coles lately? A load of meal ideas that can be got for less than $10. We're givin all those a go
Made the fettucini bolognese yesterday, pretty bland though cos it's just a tin of tomatoes thrown in. Would rather some Dolmio tbh There's a few that look good though
Any suggestions for cheap stubbies? It seems to be on average $45 for 24. Anywhere do it for less than 40? Not that we've been drinkin much beer 3 bottles of wine for $20 in the local offo! I'm sure there's cheaper out there -- any suggestions? 0 -

yeah coles $10 meals are really stretching it, and fine print says it's based on portion size.
Not too much cheap stubbies around but can have a look at the beer of teh month
http://bws1.ngcache.net/media/admin/776/_/lk9tjjx5ay9tcsgks8/BeerOfMonth_TED.pdf
decent price.
For wine, try bottles of clean(or clear)skin, they are usually wines without labels. i.e. over produced wine, and they just stick in in a crap bottle.
they can be anywhere from $5-$8 each
but looking for cheaper than 3bottles for $20! .. unless you hit the goon you won't get much better0 -

Read my post I got 36 bottles of wine (and it's decent) for $99 (+18 postage) recently, works out at $3.28 a bottle! i think a bottle of coke in the 7-11 is more expensive!
Also Liquorland, etc are nearly always doing 2 boxes of beer for 65/70 bucks
check http://www.boozle.com.au for cheapest beers in your area0 -

Thw $10 meals are bogus, portions are tiny. And a lot of the things you need aren't counted towards the $10, damn salt and pepper
As for beer, I'd never pay $45 unles it was cider. I normally pay 40ish for 24 extra dry, or get 2 for 70, 3 for 100 if buying more than one.0 -

Rizzy's is far nicer than Gourmet
I'm not sure if he does deals or anything, but his pizza is the best in bondi, I thought I'd tell you since you obviously are that area
Is it actually called Rizzy's? Must try and pick up a menu...get about 20 menu's a week in the mailbox but none for that place?!
Cheers man, will definitely try it out 0 -

I made the bolognese also, but first time round found it dry..so used two tins of tomatoes and threw in extra basil next time round...result delish!
ended up costing over $10 tho...0 -

If you like cheap pizza (and I sure do!), then check out La Casa Pasta. There's (apparently) branches in Kings Cross and Wynyard, but the one I was at is on Glebe Point Road. They do large (around the size of a normal Dominos pizza) pizzas for $5 a go, think it might be a lunchtime special though. The $5 ones are only for a few different types, but the La Casa Special is pretty nice. They also do Margherita, Vegetariana, Mushroom and Napoletana (didn't like that one).
Might grab a couple for the football tonight
Nice for lunch0 -
