How to Save Money Going Out in Slovakia (Without Coupons)

Going out shouldn’t feel like a financial decision every single time. 😅

The good news: you can spend less in Slovakia without turning your night into a “coupon mission” or a spreadsheet.

Here are the most practical (and realistic) ways to save money while still enjoying the best places.

1) Use “capacity hacks”: go when places are naturally quieter

Most venues don’t lose money because they’re empty at 7pm on Saturday.

They lose money on:

• weekday evenings

• early lunch hours

• late afternoons

• “random” days like Tuesday

Your move: plan your outings around those moments.

Examples

• Café catch-up at 16:00 instead of 19:00

• Wellness on weekdays instead of weekend peak

• Date night on Wednesday instead of Friday

You get the same experience… with a much better “value per euro.”

2) Stop chasing % discounts (they’re annoying and usually limited)

Let’s be honest:

• you forget codes

• offers have weird rules

• “valid only between 14:03 and 14:06” vibes 😅

The highest leverage savings systems are:

• simple

• repeatable

• available all year

That’s why people love deal formats like Buy One, Get One (BOGO)—it feels obvious and generous, and consumers often prefer it vs equivalent % discounts. 

3) Use “membership economics” instead of one-off deals

If you go out even a little bit (restaurants, cafés, spa, gym…), a membership can win hard because:

• you don’t need to “hunt” deals

• the saving happens at the moment of purchase

• you can repeat it across categories

With BOGO.cash, the mechanic is simple:

1. choose a partner venue

2. show your membership at checkout

3. pay for one item/service → the second is free (based on the partner’s conditions) 

No coupons. No hassle. (And yes, the whole point is simplicity.) 

4) Always optimize the “second unit”

This is a sneaky trick that works with any “2-for-1” style system:

If you’re getting a second item free, choose the highest value second unit.

Examples

• Buy the main dish, get the second main dish free (not fries)

• Buy a full-price service, get the second service free

• Go with a friend: split the total cost → both save

The goal is not “free stuff.”

The goal is maximum value per outing.

5) Stack “smart choices” without stacking headaches

You don’t need 12 hacks. You need 3 habits:

✅ Go out off-peak

✅ Choose venues you’d go to anyway

✅ Use a system that doesn’t create friction

That’s it.

6) The “break-even” test (do this once)

When you evaluate a deal system, ask:

“How many times do I need to use it to be worth it?”

BOGO.cash membership is €96/year (≈ €8/month) and includes a 7-day free trial. 

So your break-even is often just one or two solid redemptions depending on what you’re doing (restaurant, spa, activities, etc.). The platform highlights categories like hotels, restaurants, cafés, spas, salons, gyms… 

7) Make saving social (because it multiplies)

Saving money solo is good.

Saving money with friends is better because:

• you naturally buy “two of something”

• the “second one free” becomes effortless

• you build a habit: “BOGO night?”

Mini checklist for your next outing ✅

• Can I go off-peak?

• Can I choose a place I’d visit anyway?

• Can I bring a friend and split value?

• Can I use a simple redeem method at checkout?
