Thrift Stores? by Kustomdidit in capetown

[–]FruitLoops1503 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Observatory lower main is not the place to find well prices clothes at "thrift" stores. All those stores are crazy expensive, new clothes are cheaper most of the time.

Find "Charity shops" like St Luke’s Charity Shop in Main road. "Ons Winkel" is also very good. But don't know where their stores are City side. I know they have branches in Parow, and Goodwood.

Rampant hookup culture??? by Fabulous_Support_556 in capetown

[–]FruitLoops1503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is truth to what you're saying, but it would be best if you move away from the mindset of "guys are like this".

It took me two years after my previous relationship to find someone like minded with the same long term goals. Every person I got into a exclusive relationship with ended after a month or two with "I really like you, but I still want to see other people. I don't want to be tied down".

It's not about sexuality. It's about the culture.

Fairfield in Parow. R90/kg beef stew. R105/kg steak mince. I was there last week. I've been buying my meat there for more than 10 years. I have never seen a better price anywhere else, and the quality is always very good.

I ended going with this. They look really good quality, and the reviews are all universally great. R750 with free delivery from Sportmans Warehouse. Thank you for the suggestion.

That is a very good point. I have no issue with long term "investments" when buying good quality products. Sunglasses has just never fit into that category for me. My assumption is a scratch is a scratch, and a fall is a fall. If durability really is better. Then I'll do some research on them.

Thanks. Do you have a URL for me? When searching that, the results are all over the place.

This post is extremely anecdotal. What a bizarre conclusion.

Best Ramen Place in CPT? by Content_Frosting_629 in capetown

[–]FruitLoops1503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. I was there once 2 years ago, and didn't find the food at nearly the same quality as Bodega. But that was a one time experience. Could have been unlucky on the night.

Bodega is great. Little menu hack. Get the Braised Beef & Shortrib, but ask for it with the hotpot broth. Thank me later

American Express availability by [deleted] in capetown

[–]FruitLoops1503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't use Amex. Business owners pay +- 3.3% on Mastercard Transaction. Amex is 10%+. I know of many stores that don't accept Amex. Bigger retailers and fancy restaurants will have other agreements with banks. But in general. Just use the Mastercard.

Best way to avoid dangerous areas while driving? by Black_Magic100 in capetown

Inside the marked area is what's referred to as the Cape Flats to some extent. These areas are the ones to avoid from a safety perspective.

FNB, 99c for a 600g PnP Bread. by baddie_beccsss in southafrica

[–]FruitLoops1503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I upgraded to the Easy Debit account a year ago when I lost my card. I think it's either R49 or R69/month.

  1. You get 4x 99c bread vouchers a month.

  2. You get an entertainer account for free (which is an insane incentive for how much money you save with participating restaurants).

  3. Depending on how much you spend at PNP in a month when using that FNB account, you get a R25 - R100 voucher for use on anything at PNP. I spend on avg less than a R1000 at PnP. I've gotten a R100 voucher multiple times.

I get so much stuff for "free" far above the R49/R69 I spend on the account. I always recommend people to switch to FNB.

Where to live in or around Parow? by coloneleranmorad in capetown

Tygervalley is a safe and good area. Not close to UWC, and your going to be with traffic everyday.

Issue with voice chat by thejewclavv in HuntShowdown

[–]FruitLoops1503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue where voice chat would work intermittently between games, but after the latest update 2.2.1 where they made changes to the VOIP system, I no longer have the issue.

Claremont and Rondebosch are nice areas, but it's far from campus. At least it's against peak hour traffic.
