Sunday Edition
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! And welcome to another Sunday with the Seniors Discount Club! As always, I (Maddie) am absolutely over the moon to be here. You lot know how much I love our Sunday newsletters, so why don’t we get straight into things?
It wouldn’t be our Sunday newsletter if it wasn’t for our quote of the week and this week we have a wonderful quote courtesy of member Ian D. Thank you for sending through this quote Ian D. I really needed to hear it this week!
‘All days are good, some days are better than others.’
Well, isn’t that the truth? I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a bit of a rollercoaster of a week! I am absolutely fine, it’s just been ‘one of those weeks’, if you know what I mean. (I am more than certain that you do). And when I was writing this newsletter and came across member Ian D’s quote I just knew I had to include it today. Because it’s true, it’s not like ‘bad’ days are all bad, often our ‘bad’ days are just not the best. It doesn’t mean they weren’t good, it just means they could have been better and I think that’s a nice way to flip the narrative a little. So next time you’re having ‘one of those days’, remind yourself that all days are good, some days are just better than others.
Now, let’s take a look at what happened across Australia and around the world this week, shall we?
-

need to know.
-
This Woolies Everyday Rewards tip is getting a lot of praise online with people claiming it can save you hundreds of dollars… But is it all a bit too good to be true?
-
An unlikely bathroom cleaning tip using $1.90 and $3.50 Coles buys took Australia by storm this week. Will you try these during your next clean?
-
WATCH: The jaw-dropping moment a supermarket boss tackled a ‘meat thief’ with a suitcase filled with alleged stolen cuts… But several Aussies are siding with the criminal. Is stealing ever okay?
-
ALDI workers revealed the one thing shoppers must do at the checkout before they can start scanning your groceries. But it doesn’t seem
like every ALDI store is following the rule…
-
This TV star gave birth to a baby at the age of 56! Could you imagine having a newborn in your mid-50s? Do you have an opinion on whether this is or isn’t okay?
-
Bunnings announced a new feature that will revolutionise how thousands of customers shop. Do you think this is necessary? And will you try the
service?

-
GOOD NEWS! Coles has slashed prices on dozens of items for the next month, in addition to their ‘dropped & locked’ promotion, to help Aussies facing the cost of living crunch. Here’s how to get your discount.
-
This is not a drill! ALDI has slashed $50 off the price of a popular gardening tool as part of their latest Special Buys range. Green thumbs, you’re going to love this.

Finally, a heads up for our Woolies shoppers. A major change to Woolworths stores came into effect this week. Was your state affected?
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a wrap of the news from the week that was! Did any news story, in particular, stand out to you? Maybe you enjoyed one more than the others? If so, don’t be afraid to let us know what you think in the comments section of our articles. We really do love hearing from you all. Now, of course, before you go anywhere don’t forget to enjoy the rest of what this newsletter has in store! I recommend checking out our ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ segment, thanks to member @Suzanne rose, and the most beautiful ‘Picture of the day’, thanks to member @Simmy. I promise you, this photo will melt your heart!
Oh, and did you know that Health Insurers are increasing their premiums by an average of 2.90% on April 1? Although that doesn’t seem like a ‘large’ increase, for an Aussie over the age of 65 that’s an additional $167 per year for their health cover. It’s worse if you’re with one of the ‘Big 5 Funds’ - think BUPA, Medibank, HCF, nib and HBF - you could be paying a whopping $194
more per year for the exact same health cover. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Compare and save on your health insurance before April 1 here.*
Don’t forget to check out our many games, including Alphabetical Bands/Groups Game, Alphabetical Australian Places Game, Change A Letter Game, and 3x3 Word Thread. Of course, we still have our beloved classic games, including Word Pairs, Abbreviation Game, Word Association Game, Rearrange, Add or Subtract Word Game! Keep a Word, Drop a Word Game, and Can you name 5? As well as our Sudoku puzzles, OzGrid, and OzWord. And our card games, including Solitaire and Blackjack.
Last but not least, don't forget to try our 'expert' edition of OzWord! You can give it a shot here.
As always, members, stay safe and happy reading!
