Tuesday Edition
Well good morning and happy Tuesday folks! What’s on the agenda for today eh? Something fun? Something relaxing? Or are you just getting things done today? Whatever you’re up to, we hope it goes smoothly! Now we do have one thing to add to your daily list of tasks, and that is of course, to dig into today’s newsletter (which if you’re reading this, we’re guessing was your plan all along, so good on you!)
Now first up, is the answer to yesterday’s riddle. So let's jog our memory and take a look at exactly what it was!
A doctor and a truck driver are in love with the same woman. The truck driver had to go on a week-long trip and gave the woman seven apples before he left. Why?
We don’t know about you guys, but this one read a bit like a joke to us! Nice and lighthearted. What isn’t funny, is how good you all are at riddles. So many of you got the correct answer, which was of course an apple a day keeps the doctor away! For the absolute army of you who nailed this one, enjoy a shoutout from us further down below! It’s on the house.
Now then, what’s happening in Australia and around the world today?

Aside from housing costs, the bulk of our hard-earned money is spent on weekly groceries. This is why us Aussies are on the prowl for savings, low prices, and good value for money when grocery shopping. However, deciding where to shop to save the most money can be a tedious task, especially as the cost of groceries continues to rise. Wouldn't it just be so much easier if we had a way to know which shop had the best prices on the products on our shopping list?
Oh, wait, there is! Introducing Frugl!

Compare Health Cover Now*
Three health insurance rate rises in the space of 18 months are what Aussies are being slapped with after a two year long global pandemic. Aussies were paying an average of $230.26 more for their health insurance after the 2021 price hikes. And now from 1 April 2022, a single person over the age of 65 will pay an additional average of about $75* more per year, with families paying an additional average of about $154* more per year.
What few people realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover*. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital & extras policy comes in at under $23 / week (or $3.22 per day) once the rebate has been claimed.
See if you're eligible for the latest government rebates to get health insurance from under $23 a week.
