4 ways to stash the cash with style

1. Dine on a deal

We get that you like to dine in style but you don’t need to break the bank during your lunch hour. Many high-end restaurants offer reduced-price business lunches. Try Okku (H Hotel, Dubai, two courses for Dh69), Rivington Grill (Souq Al Bahar Dh 90 and Souq Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai two courses for Dh100) and Zuma (DIFC, two courses for Dh72).

2. Hit the right note

When was the last time you came home from a sell-out gig not moaning about the price of the ticket? Instead, pay a meagre Dh25 entry fee to The Music Room in Bur Dubai and listen to live music at one of the Jam Nights. Visit themusicroomdubai.com for more details.

3. Book last minute

It’s tempting to have your holiday all wrapped up months in advance, but if you hold out as long as possible before making your booking you could save yourself a packet on your summer vacation. Check out specialist website lastminute.com to browse late deals and last-minute prices.

4. Be shop savvy

Make your old clothes work for you by selling them through My Ex Wardrobe (myexwardrobe.com). Whether online or through the monthly pop-up-shop-style events, you can sell clothes and accessories and also snap up some stylish ‘new’ bits, minus the hefty price tag, in the process.
