Tuesday Edition

Good morning

Well, hello members, fancy seeing you here this wonderful Tuesday morning. How are we all feeling? We hope you’re feeling excited and ready because we have a ton of stuff for you to feast your minds on today, so without further ado, let’s jump right on in.

First things first, let’s give you the answer to yesterday’s riddle!

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, and cannot be smelt. It cannot be heard, it lies behind stars and under hills and fills empty holes, it comes first and follows after, ends life and kills laughter. What is it?

Did you get it? The answer is... the dark! Well, that was a tricky one, eh? We thought for sure that would stump most of you, but it seems a few of you were able to see through the darkness (sorry, we had to 😉) and figure it out. If you got this one correct, head further down in the email, and you’ll spot a shoutout just for you!.

Now then, what’s happening in Australia and around the world today?

• Aldi, Coles, and Woolworths shoppers have revealed the items they won't give up despite price hikes.
• A sneaky travel hack is making the rounds online, but not everyone is impressed, with some calling it "embarrassing."
• Woolworths has introduced a new self-service feature that makes shopping easier and faster, but is it spying on us?
• The Barefoot Investor, Scott Pape, has revealed the real amount of superannuation you need to return comfortably, and it’s much less than you’ve been told.
• Urgent Product Recall: An urgent national recall has been issued for a popular supermarket food item after a dangerous bacteria was discovered.
• German retail giant, ALDI, is launching a new concept store, but Aussies may notice that it is missing one key component.
• You will not believe what this hungry woman did when a McDonald's drive-through said they could not take any more orders.
• Nowadays, almost every retailer has some loyalty program, but are they really worth the effort it takes to use them?
• Are you in the market for new appliances? Here are the best and worst electronics stores in 2022, according to CHOICE.
• A British expat has gone viral after questioning why this 'weird' ingredient is so common in Australian food. What do you think, members?
