Someone posted about eating at David’s Master Pot on Swanston Street for effectively one cent. Not a typo. One cent. The trick: stack an EatClub discount against DoorDash’s “Going Out” credit feature, which reimburses you for dining receipts you upload, then roll that credit into grocery orders. The loop closes neatly. Eat cheap, get reimbursed, buy Aldi staples. Repeat.

My first reaction was genuine admiration. That is a tidy piece of systems thinking. Finding the gap where two separate promotional mechanics overlap and extracting value from the seam. There is something almost elegant about it, the way a well-timed parry in a Souls game feels elegant. You are not cheating. You are just paying close attention to how the rules actually work.
