We want to make sure our Seniors Discount Club family knows that we will always be here if you need. Now let's start the week off with a bang and dive right into today’s activities shall we?
First things first, let's take a look at the first riddle of the week. This one was sent in by member Doug S. and we swear we have the answer on the tip of our tongues.

Accomplishing a weekly run of groceries can be therapeutic for some and a hassle for the rest of us. So what could possibly make this errand worse? Well… perhaps your groceries getting ruined by a leaking product, but not just any product, a chemical product.
An Aldi customer has taken to a well-known Facebook group to share her frustration when a bottle of the stain remover, Di San Pre, leaked through her shopping bag and ruined her groceries, so in an attempt to avoid the risk of putting her child in harm’s way, she threw everything out.

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.
