Luckily for us, Sydney has some fab dining deals, lots of free weekend activities and plenty of activations to enjoy - you've just got to know where to look! 

Having a no-spend weekend? No worries! Read on for our edit of six cozzie lives hacks for Sydney folk to enjoy this week. 

$5 Taco Wednesdays at El Primo Sanchez

El Primo Sanchez are serving up $5 tacos all night, each and every Wednesday. Take your pick from mouth-watering options like the Al Pastor (pork belly, achiote adobo, salsa verde, pineapple), Beef Barbacoa (slow-cooked beef cheek, salsa roja, roasted onion, cucumber), Fish Na Arita (crispy fish, jalapeño salsa, orange pico de gallo), or Calabacita (roasted zucchini, salsa macha, ricotta). 

Sitchu Tip: Be sure to get there early becasue every Wednesday until the end of September, the first five people ordering a $5 taco will receive a complimentary Paloma cocktail.

Enjoy a Coastal Meander with Sculpture by the Sea

As the most expensive time of the year approaches, free activities are even more welcome than usual. Luckily, Syndey's Sculpture by the Sea is back and it is, as always, free. More than 100 sculptures by Australian and world-renowned artists will be gracing the 2km long stretch, perfect for perusing with a coffee in hand.
