Saving on dining out
If you are keen to have a percentage slashed off your bill when dining out, the you should download the app called the EATCLUB. it's free and allows you to search for deals and discounts in your area and around Sydney at many restaurants. Some are great, some are average - I'd check a rating of the place you pick on Google reviews before going there but it can be a fantastic way to find new places to dine out to in Sydney with a portion of your bill discounted.
