Good morning, members, and welcome back to another terrific Thursday! How are you all doing on this chilly morning? I (Vella) am up bright and early, sipping a steaming cup of hot chocolate. There’s nothing quite like wrapping your hands around a warm mug and savouring the velvety sweetness of a hot chocolate to start your day off right. And to make things even more exciting, I have some fantastic news to share! Brace yourselves because we’ve had our second SDC Bingo winner already! Wow, members! That’s two winners in just 7 days! A big shout-out to member @SueSmith for winning the last round of bingo! Congratulations! You’ve won a $50 voucher to your supermarket of choice! If you want to win a $50 voucher too, then what are you waiting for? Play SDC Bingo today!
Now, let's dive into today’s newsletter. First, let’s jump straight into the answer to yesterday’s riddle. For those of you who might need a reminder, the riddle was:
Ten pears hanging high, ten men come passing by. Each took a pear and left nine hanging there. How could that be?
So, how was it possible? The answer is that ‘EACH’ is the name of one of the men, and he's the only one that took a pear! Wow, that was quite tricky, wasn’t it? Did you get it correct? If you did, then congratulations! Stick around, and you'll find a shout-out at the end of the newsletter.
Alright, it’s time for another fascinating fact. Did you know that there's an underwater mailbox in Susami Bay, Japan? You read that right, folks — you can post a letter underwater! The mailbox is located about 10 meters deep and receives around 1,000 to 1,500 pieces of mail annually, which are collected by the employees of the Yamatani Dive Shop. How's that for a unique postal experience?
And now, let's dive into what's happening around Australia and the world today.

Over at Kmart, shoppers are racing to get their hands on a new $35 cleaning set hailed as an ‘absolute game changer’! Will you be adding it to your shopping list too?

‘It’s a joke!’ Several shoppers have been left gobsmacked by the ‘ridiculous’ price of these grocery essentials at Coles. Is being healthy about to become even more unaffordable?

Are you after a pair of socks that are not only comfortable and supportive, but also help with blood circulation and preventing fluid buildup in the legs? We may have found the perfect pair, and prices start from only $24…

‘Break up with him and call the police!’ This Woolworths shopper shared her partner’s ‘embarrassing’ money-saving hack at the checkout, leaving Aussies concerned. When would you deem being frugal too far?
