Top foodies are rushing to pay the "entry fee" to food delivery platforms

In the current economic environment, young people's consumption concepts are undergoing subtle changes. What they pursue is a consumption mode of "spending less and eating better" - through various promotional activities on food delivery platforms, they can enjoy delicious food while effectively saving money.

After the 2000 "sharpshooter boy" Sheng Lihao won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics and broke the Olympic record, the people whose blood boiled the most were actually a group of idle people.

Why?

Because Sheng Lihao's online name is "Just rely on eating". So people who eat a lot must be very happy!

Although Sheng Lihao "won the gold medal just by eating" and "defeated the South Korean team just by eating", the thing he wanted to do most after winning the championship was "eat the braised pork at home."

Teenagers are at the age when one should show off gold medals, but Sheng Lihao wanted to demonstrate his dream of never skipping a meal. He deserved the title of "Eat-A-Lot Brother" just as much as his gold medal.

The majority of people who work hard cannot possess Sheng Lihao’s “Olympic gold medal of the same style as the champion”, but they can realize the “dream of working hard like the champion” in every minute!

However, "home-cooked braised pork" is the top-notch product for those who work hard. In most cases, those who work hard, either in school or at work, have to rely on riders of all colors to maximize their Engel coefficient.

Some people who work hard joke about themselves like this: "Sheng Lihao pushed his hometown onto the international stage with his resume that was accurate to Donglai Village. I got myself onto the international stage with my resume that was accurate to 'Maimen believers'."

Of course, the ability of a foodie is definitely not just about entering the "Maimen". From time to time, he also has to "go to hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants, and fried skewer restaurants to have a try with beef, mutton, and pork belly". Crispy meat, shrimp balls, and vegetarian stew also have to be included.

The mouths of the people are satisfied, the Engel coefficient is maxed out, but the wallets suffer. Although the main goal of this generation of workers is to save money on clothes and spend money on food, once the salary arrives, half of it has to be used to pay off the Huabei debt owed for last month's gluttony.

What to do? Just like waiting for "Sheng Lihao Electronic Signature", you can wait for various life platforms to study various opportunities to get free stuff. Online, you can increase the price every day, but never place an order at the original price. Offline, you can stock up on coupons, but never place an order on the spot.

Fortunately, although the people who take advantage of others on social platforms may seem a bit vicious, they actually have good hearts. The ways they offer to take advantage of others and make a lot of money are so cruel that anyone who sees them will be tempted.

In particular, the Meituan membership money-saving operation, which had a reading volume of over 100,000 in just 5 hours after its release, can be described as "the body is full of fat, but the wallet is not thin."

"Never miss out on food, but never spend more money" is the highest level of a foodie. Rounding it off, it's almost half of the "champion level".

01 This generation of foodies likes to daydream about "turning a bicycle into a motorcycle"

Some people call the state of mind of "never falling behind in eating, but never spending extra money" "verbal anti-consumerism".

The foodies who used to believe in “Life is short, have another bowl of food”, after being swept up by the anti-consumerism trend, became people who “drink 18 yuan milk tea whenever they want, beg people for 15 yuan membership, order more barbecue if 300 or 400 yuan is not enough, and wear 19.9 yuan suspenders from summer to winter”. They firmly adhere to the principle of “Life is short, we can live like gods if we have wine and meat”.

The greedy mouth must be satisfied, but it is impossible to spend too much money. Compared with the past of "eating instant noodles for a few months and saving money to buy a brand-name bag", young people nowadays prefer to compete with each other to see who is more stingy and show off how much they can get.

As for how to get the best deal on food, there are some tips. If you order takeout, you can collect membership coupons and red envelopes on the merchant page and compare prices on multiple platforms. It is also a good idea to share a meal, but sometimes you can't find a companion to share it with.

Offline is even more interesting. It is common to go directly to the merchant page to buy group packages before consumption, and the advanced way is to wait for live broadcasts to buy group packages. As long as you spend time waiting, you can always get the most wool.

I once spent 30 yuan on a Meituan live broadcast room to buy a barbecue set meal that originally cost 138 yuan. This kind of opportunity is rare and requires some luck and hand speed. But the methodology is like this, as long as you are willing to wait, there will always be opportunities.

I thought my skills in taking advantage of others were already at the advanced level, but netizens ended up teaching me a lesson.

As a loyal "McDonald's believer", other people's resume is hard work, while my resume is eating McDonald's. So I often reward myself with a McDonald's for no reason.

As a result, netizens told me that my favorite 79 yuan set meal only needs 71 ​​yuan after using Meituan membership coupons, and if I’m lucky, it can increase by more than ten yuan.

Although it seems like I only saved 8 yuan, I ate this set meal no less than 20 times, which means a difference of at least 160 yuan. Wouldn't it be nice to use this money to eat a few more times?

And I don't just eat wheat wheat, I also eat snail noodles, milk tea, hot pot, and barbecue! With this calculation, I feel like I have lost 100 million.

Making money is like catching ghosts, spending money is like flowing water. In the past, if I was asked to pay for membership, it would be better to see ghosts, but 4.9 yuan can get 12 5 yuan Meituan consumption coupons with no threshold, and it can be expanded. If I try my best to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, it is not impossible to expand 5 yuan to 20 yuan. Even if the expansion degree does not meet expectations, it is still a small profit.

A netizen bought two 12-piece no-threshold coupons on 2.9 and achieved milk tea freedom. Faced with this real case and the temptation of getting free deals, I really can't control myself.

What’s even more amazing is that I also saw a post shared by netizens: “I had nothing to do at night so I bought a few takeaway membership coupons. I just ordered a few and they were inflated to 100 yuan!”!!!

Okay, okay, I can only feel envy and jealousy with tears in my eyes while quickly buying a membership and praying that I will be the next lucky guy.

Moreover, I am a stingy person, and I was afraid that I would not need so many coupons if I could only use takeout, so I made a special study to find out that after July, Meituan will upgrade its membership service and expand the "God Member" from takeout to in-store business, covering catering, hotel reservations and other business.

This means that one member can enjoy both online and offline discounts, so good!

I wanted to go online and recommend Meituan's coupons, but no one responded to my post. It turned out that Meituan's coupons were too "genuine", so my recommendation was out of date, and those people who were just eating their food had already figured it out.

Some even learned on their own how to stack Meituan coupons, and now ordering takeout only costs around 6 yuan.

Meituan's God Members rely on "real stuff" to win over the vicious and vicious people, and it seems not surprising that they get genuine sharing and recommendation. This trick can only be said to be played!

02 Getting the most out of your money is a technical job

Thinking that the money should be kept within the family, I hurriedly sent the Meituan coupon operation link to my bestie. Although she is not short of money, it would be a fool not to save money.

It turned out that she had already used this method of fleecing others.

Is this still a best friend? This is simply an enemy. Okay, I learned this method from netizens!

My best friend swore to heaven that she had no idea at first that a stingy person like me didn't know this method. Now she is ready to make up for it by becoming the leader of my Meituan magic coupon game.

With this positive attitude, if she didn't have any channels, I would have suspected that she secretly accepted Meituan's soft advertising behind my back.

It is no exaggeration to say that my best friend's memory is so good that she doesn't need to drink Meng Po soup even if she goes to hell. Like before, when she was asked to choose and remember promotional activities and discount codes on multiple platforms, her determination and motivation had to be driven by a ball of shiny wool.

Now, she seems to be firmly controlled by Meituan's magic coupons. It seems that Meituan's magic coupons cover the convenience, affordability and diversity of everything from takeaway to in-store business, allowing her to enjoy multiple service discounts without having to switch platforms multiple times, which hits her poor memory and lazy heart.

But even so, she would not be willing to take the lead in buying Meituan coupons. Convenience is just a supporting factor. Given the same stingy nature of both of us, I think what will ultimately win her over is the "saving money" of converting a bicycle into a motorcycle.

As a sophisticated girl, she is different from me in that she has only average interest in food. What she likes most is to go to the beauty salon for skin care or go for a city walk in other cities from time to time.

As my foreman, she began to teach me how to use the God membership coupons in food, beauty and health, life services, leisure and entertainment, hotel accommodation and other aspects.

She told me quietly that if I wanted to save more, I didn’t have to spend a dime. The system would automatically send me daily coupons, such as 30 yuan for a homestay, and 12 yuan off for beauty and health coupons over 39 yuan...

A large number of netizens are already enjoying this blessing.

Some netizens shared that a happy day is when they don’t have to wait for the bus, are on time for work and don’t get late, order takeout and get beauty and health coupons, and rush out for a massage after work. It feels like the world has become a better place.

There are also some netizens who said "that's a lot" while secretly rejoicing that "I accidentally achieved takeout freedom."

Of course, this is just a small part. Meituan’s coupons cover food, drink, entertainment, and even pet medical care.

Meituan has captured the stomachs of foodies, the faces of delicate young ladies, the walking itineraries of city dwellers, and the hearts of pet lovers.

I am not convinced by heaven or earth, but I am convinced by my sisters' ability to make good use of the money. As long as I save a little, I can be one step closer to my retirement life. In this way, I think that netizens and my sisters have made great contributions to my road to retirement.

Nowadays, young people are implementing the policy of "I will lie down when the economy is in a downturn, and I am the best at saving money", and are carrying out anti-consumerism to the end.

Meituan has clearly seen the characteristics of today's young people, and is focusing on convenience, affordability, and diversity, providing young people with an intuitive and easy-to-use platform experience, reducing their decision-making burden, and enriching their consumption experience. This not only retains those who want to take advantage of the services, but also attracts those "lazy" consumers who are too lazy to operate multiple platforms.

What kind of safe haven do they want? Money is their dream. What young people are pursuing in consumption nowadays is mainly "selfishness". The platform that can provide the most "altruistic services" to satisfy their "selfishness" will be favored by consumers.
