You are all cheap

Here we go again

I don't understand why people think its cheap to want to save money. Especially when its spending $1344 on theme parks. I only earn $200 a week. My family and I really want to go, so is it really such a bad thing me wanting to save a bit of money?

You are all cheap well anyway got cheap vouchers to movie world, sae world and wet and wild

If you walked in Safeway to buy some fish and it was $7 per kg and you heard that Coles across the road was $5 per kg which one would you choose? It's like a store if they had a stereo for $100 but was advertised as $20 off would you say to the sales person i'll pay full price coz i don't wanna be seen as cheap? You really need to think before posting.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to save a bit of money in this day and age; petrol is pricey, rent is pricey, shopping is pricey, owning your home is pricey, utilities are pricey, many people have loans they need to pay off, kids are pricey, theme park food is pricey, theme park entry prices are pricey...everywhere in life you look to save money and there's nothing wrong with trying to save a few bucks; that's what we do in life. If you think people are being cheap by using vouchers then you must earn a lot of money on a week to week basis but just remember there are people out there who have crap pays, who are on centre-cant-do-no-right-link payments, who have kids, who don't have jobs, who can't really afford to spend too much at theme parks and there for need to save a bit of money.

Amen. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Just a tip, If you were going to be on the GC before the 30th of April then buy your SW and MW passes together as a fun pass which is $99 for adults and $66 for kids aged 4-13. The only catch is that you have to visit the second park within the next 2 days after visiting the first. Doing that should knock your bill back to $1141 (Assuming all your group members are 14 or older) If you are a member of RACV (you were from Melbourne right?) then that price comes down to $1036 (Since RACV membership is $22 then it is definitely worth getting membership purely for this transaction) $1036 is still a fair bit but that is still a week and a half of pay you get to hold on to compared to buying them the normal way. Even if you are travelling after april 30 then get RACV membership anyway, it would pay for itself twice over after buying DW tickets anyway.
