A handful of people send me links to this website called No Bucks, which is an “online portal of happy hours, specials and budget nights out in Cape Town.” I enjoyed the concept but didn’t know if it fitted “the vibe” correctly. But then I remembered that getting deals and paying less would take anyone that little bit closer to living the holiday. I mean, if you earn hardly anything and spend your days on the beach, you can probably maintain that by getting good deals – and I’m FINE with that!

Now it’s one thing living cheaply on food stamps, but the cool thing about these kids behind nobucks.co.za is they’re including 2oceansvibe approved bars and restaurants. So you’re getting discounts at the likes of Caprice, Hudsons, Cafe Sofia, Andiamo, Beluga etc. So you’re skimping it, but you’re doing it in style.

I suppose, in way, that’s what I do. I mean, besides my fabulous wealth which allows me this lifestyle anyway, it is generally accepted that I am not charged when frequenting Cape Town establishments. So, indirectly, I guess I’m doing the same thing! Weird.

Look, my good looks help as well, granted – but let’s keep our eye on the ball here.
