1. Plan Intentional Treats
Meal prep throughout the week to save on daily costs, but keep a day set aside for an affordable meal out. Ocean Basket offers great value with dishes like their Seafood Burgers and the Calamari Steak Strips & Crunchy Fish Bites Combo, each priced under R100 for a satisfying and tasty treat.
2. Share the Experience
Sharing is caring, especially when dining on a budget! Opt for shareable dishes to enjoy a variety of flavours at a fraction of the price. Ocean Basket’s R84 Basket includes panko prawns, panko zucchini, calamari heads, and more. Their sushi platters are also perfect for splitting between two, giving you a light and budget-friendly meal.

Maximize your meal’s value by choosing dishes that can double as lunch the next day.

Simply add a side salad or fresh bread to create a delicious second meal with little extra effort.
