Coupons | Things to do in Auckland #1

This is probably a sentiment most big kids share. When we live in the same city our whole lives it gets kind of boring. Of course every city is different. Surely bigger and busier cities have a lot more things going on as opposed to smaller cities like my little Auckland. After earning our driver’s licenses it initially feels like our options become endless but eventually we realise that once we’ve been there, done that, then what? Auckland closes at 6pm then after that we’re left with cinemas, bars, clubs and restaurants.

My friends and I have decided to uncover our hood trying to find where to hang that’s outside the usual. So this is basically what the ‘Bored in Auckland’ series is about. It can be a great guide for tourists or international students, or simply locals who are as equally bored as us. I think to kick this series off is to talk about coupons!

There’s nothing embarrassing about coupons. Using it doesn’t equate to poorness, alright? What my friends and I discovered was that it actually gave us a great starting point around Auckland City. Using coupons gives anyone the opportunity to try something new at a discounted price which is pretty much an awesome deal. I mean, if it doesn’t end up being your cup of tea, well at least hey, you didn’t pay the full price for it!

To find these coupons, simply type ‘coupons nz’ on google and it will lead you to a lot of websites that give out coupons, for example grabone (above picture). You simply sign up, pick the service, pay for it, print the receipt and present it at the service.  Imagine dining in a fancy restaurant for half the original price, or relaxing at the hot pools at only $13 admission fee! With so many options to choose from I feel I don’t need to continue this series anymore, lol. But I will so stay tuned for the next instalment :)

Love and Peace.
