Everyone loves to a be a hero, just not so much when the bill arrives at the restaurant table.

It’s not like the food was that over the top expensive, it’s just that the wine began to flow and the beers were ice cold and you’re really not sure what kind of damage you’re looking at.

Fine, just split it and everyone saves face.

There’s an easier way to be the big dog though, and that’s nailing a full 25% off the ENTIRE BILL (20% Friday – Sunday) with the wave of a card. Starters, mains, dessert, drinks – you name it, 20-25% off no problem.

Let’s make that clear one more time – DRINKS.

We’re talking about Socialite, where you can save serious cash with a little bit of foresight. They have over 1 400 members-only discounts, stretching across a range of areas.

Go on, click that image below and see for yourself:

Restaurants, day spas, fun activities and getaways in and around Cape Town – and a quarter off the entire amount every time.

You can use your Socialite card for any amount up to four people, and you can use it once a month at every single merchant.

Buying a single cup of coffee? Done. Pizza and a bottle of wine to wash it down? Done. 50 oysters, three lobsters and a few bottles of Dom Pérignon? You’re out of control – but also, done.

So far the average Socialite member is saving around R525 per month, which is where we should probably tell you what a one-year membership costs.

Deep breaths…and…R295 for the entire year. That’s less than R25 a month

It’s a three-step process:

• Choose your outing: premium & popular restaurants, luxury spas, relaxing getaways and days out in your city.
• Book: call to book your spot (and don’t forget to mention you’re an exclusive Socialite Member).
• Enjoy: present your Socialite Card on arrival & enjoy!

I’m pretty sure you can fork out that R25 per month to knock down prices on a spa day out, a night’s accommodation or a meal at your local favourite.

And the drinks, we did mention that, right?
