This time of the year has arrived, time to celebrate OzBargain’s 17th Birthday! 🥳

The theme for this year is gonna be value for money 💰

My mates and I have been eating at this place frequently. It is definitely bang for your bucks and they’ve been around since 1962

Dishes are around ~$22-30. Rice is per head but it comes with unlimited rice refilling for those hungry souls

Please have a look at their menu to be efficient at ordering :)

Update 6/11: Changed time to 5:30pm per this update. There will be Amazon freebies, courtesy from ISP and Nich that they pinged me when they went live :)

Update 13/11: Mobileciti has kindly agreed to sponsor my event. There will be goodie bags for everyone and 3 lucky draw prizes, which I’ll use the OzBargain random generator on that day. Thanks Mobileciti team 🥳🙌

Prize Prize Qty Notes
Gimbal 1 1st Prize
Yeelight 1 2nd Prize
Earbuds 1 3rd Prize

Update 15/11: Wireless1 has also agreed to sponsor my event in Canberra. Prizes and goodies bags are still being finalised

    Dinner in Canberra, followed by an electric scooter ride and a courtesy bid at the local car auctions. What more could you ask for..

      That’s the ideal Canberran date for an ozbargain we honestly

    Thanks for organising, hope to make some new friends! :)

  • Lunarboogie on 11/10/2023 - 06:41

    Looking forward to making my OzB debut. Can anyone tell me if it hurts the first time?

  • Laurana on 13/10/2023 - 22:08

    I'd like to attend this year, so count me in. So keen to get one of the shirts after so many years.

    Hey all, I just went into Happys and they can’t fit us in at 7pm. They do have a spot at 5:30pm on that day, but we have to leave by 7:20pm before the next group comes in

    If everyone is happy with the 5:30 slot on 24th Nov, I will go ahead with the booking but otherwise the next non rush slot is on Sun 26th Nov at anytime

    FYI I’ll be bringing some Amazon freebies that I have been collecting - thanks to ISP and Nich for the ping

      Either works for me, happy to go with whichever.

    • Lunarboogie on 09/11/2023 - 16:05

      5.30 is fine with me. Fits into my intermittent fasting routine!

    Hey all,

    I’ve got the 2023 Bikies t shirts from @cerealsmok3r but there’s only about 6, with no M sizes left. All of the ppl who turned up to his event had grabbed a shirt, so I’ve got the remaining.

    Scotty was right that the shirts are very limited this year :///

    • cerealsmok3r on 09/11/2023 - 11:22

      I might fund/sponsor the shirts next year and bring it back to original levels. Expense it against one of my businesses depending on the cost and ozbargain or Scotty will handle the rest of the admin process. Will have to see when I ask him about it

    • CodeXD on 09/11/2023 - 11:23

      Hopefully majority of the people attending Happy's event received a tshirt at Yarralumla event (I certainly did) so there will be enough for those who are only attending Happy's.

    • Canberralad92 on 15/11/2023 - 10:38

      Hey mate was overseas in Japan and missed the other event but see you at Happy's :)

    Hey all,

    Great news! Both Mobileciti and Wireless1 are going to be sponsoring my event, so there will be goodie bags and prizes to be won 🥇

    See you all there and cheers 🍻

    Anyone going to this have iPhone 14 pro max and want a free magsafe case?

    Let me know and I can bring it, first come first serve.

    There was no taker from previous year so has been carried over to this year.

  • Mia03 on 22/11/2023 - 16:46

    Exciting!

  • BargainsGrabber on 23/11/2023 - 18:09

    Hi all, can I please get your final confirmation on whether you’d be attending for this event as I’d need to make sure that there’s enough seats and freebies for tomorrow
