Monday’s Money Saving Tips – a $10 Steak in Australia!
I LOVE eating steaks, but yet I’m a budget traveller so I’ll be honest and say I normally go without them. But I miss them. Enter the land down under then and a national craze known as $10 steaks! If you have ever lived, visited or backpacked round Australia you will know about them. Bars, pubs, hotels all have these promotions on and the main one is a $10 Steak. Don’t pay any more than that for a steak! If it’s more just go to the next pub! Honestly – $10 steaks are very common in Australia.
Got to love Australia – living the dream life back in 2009, while still budgeting and treating myself to the odd $10 Steak!
I was even luckier as when I started working in an Irish Pub in 2009, we could get the steaks for just $5 Australian Dollars. It’s not just a steak either – it comes with sauce and chips. So when you’re travelling in Australia be on the lookout for these $10 Steaks. I know it’s not your normal cheap ass backpacker option today, as you can buy it cheaper in a shop and cook it yourself, but if you LOVE a steak and you want one in a pub, then you can still do it on a budget.
And yes, I’ve backpacked round Asia and South America and spent less than $10 in total in a whole day before, but sometimes you got to treat yourself to that steak! Safe travels folks, I’m relaxing in Chongqing, China tonight!!
Might not be the common backpacker meal but everyone needs to treat themselves once in a while to something they didn’t have to prep, cook or clean up afterward and that steak looks like the ticket!
Great tip Jonny! And now I’m hungry *laugh*

I could eat a steak every day Maria – I love them. But I need to consider my budget. If I want to do a hike or get a certain bus, that lovely steak turns into a cheap packet of noodles. Miss the $10 steaks in Australia… Jonny
