Just went to the local RSL bistro for lunch with my MIL and the Minipeelers. Jeez it's a bit pricey for a members club.. or maybe I'm out of touch, I haven't been there for a while. A lemonade was $4.20 and most mains were around $35, for meals that were slightly larger than a kids/seniors meal and just average, nothing to write home about. Last time I went to an RSL it was the one at Ocean Grove, and the meals were on the pricey side but absolutely outstanding and totally worth it, awesomely good food. The Minis were happy though because Elder got a Tassie Devil plushie from the claw machine and he got Miniest a Scooby Doo (those machines are shit and rigged, how TF does he do it‽) I figure regional/coastal town RSL experiences are different from urban ones?
How does a pensioner afford a 40 dollar meal? I'm assuming your figures were member prices.
Members prices. The seniors meal however is $16, with a soup or sweet for an extra $2, from a set menu. They seem to be what counts as pretty reasonable value these days.
