Good morning

Good morning, members, and welcome to Wednesday! Before we jump into today’s newsletter, I (Vella) am inviting you to pause for a moment and take a deep breath. Feeling worried or stressed?

Now, let’s start with the best bargains from Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, and IGA. And, of course, our Wednesday riddle:
