Sunday Edition
Good Morning Members! And a very happy Sunday to you lovely lot. I hope you’re all having an easy Sunday morning with a cuppa in one hand and your favourite breakfast in the other. I know I’ll be reading this with my cappuccino in one hand and maybe an almond croissant in the other, because I tell you what members, I’ve been enjoying a cheeky croissant on the weekends lately… Because you know, we should treat ourselves whenever we can!
Any who, we aren’t here to talk about my breakfast preferences, we are here to get stuck into the quote of the week, so here’s what I found for you all this week:
“Life is tough but so are you.”
I think this quote speaks for itself. I don’t really need to add much to it, or break it down and explain it to you. There are a lot of members in our community who are going through some really tough times and I just want each and every one of you to know that yes, life is tough, but so are you. You’ve been through tough times before and you’ve gotten through it, and this time, you have a whole online community who wants to support you and make sure you get through it - so just keep this in mind next time the fight feels a little tougher than usual.
Now what happened across Australia and around the world this week?
-
This week, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and IGA gave us some fantastic deals, including Family Faves Chicken Tenders, D’Orsogna Chorizo, McCain Ultra-Thin Crust Pizza (Yum!),
and some winter sleepwear. These deals are still available today, so be sure to check them out!
-
These showers were BIG in the 1970s, but it seems the younger generation think they are ‘creepy’. What’s your take?
-
Scam alert: Authorities warned us about a new wave of scams aimed at Aussies who have previously been victims of cybercrime. Be careful, members!
-
Is it time to ditch Coles and Woolworths? We saw a viral photo that people claim demonstrates why shopping at independent stores is much better than going to major supermarkets.
-
We also gave you everything you need to know about the $250 cost of living payment under the new Federal Budget and how to get it.
-
Coles was slammed by outraged shoppers for a ‘racist’ supermarket sign. Here's what Coles has to say about it.
-
One mum shared the secret $1 Kmart item that helped her small business become a huge success.
-
Woolworths launched a delicious new baking range that customers are loving!
-
Members @Dini S, @Cheb, @Vinylted, and Doug S. shared some hilarious jokes. Click each member’s name for a good laugh.
-
We also learnt of a man’s clever bacon cooking hack, which he claims makes it tastier and healthier than ever!
-
And finally, Coles and Woolworths announced that they’re bringing back a popular deal that sparked a frenzy when it first launched.
And that’s a wrap of the week that was! Quite the week, eh? But honestly, every week feels like quite the week these days. Don’t head anywhere just yet, because we have some great deals for you in our ‘let’s save’ segment and an even better (grand)dad joke of the day! Have a great Sunday and we will be back in your inbox tomorrow morning.
Oh and just a friendly reminder to check out today’s OzWord for a bit of brain training fun.
And most importantly, members, stay safe and happy reading!
- Jonathan, Vella, Sean, James & Maddie.

Did you think shows like ‘The Goodies’ were a part of the era of great British Comedy? Some people loved them, other people hated them. You either thought their skits were hilarious, or couldn’t stand watching them! Either way, I think we can all agree when we say, it was better than a lot of the stuff on TV nowadays!

Now, we know these aren’t the cheapest deal ever, but they are “cheap” for a good quality pair of ugg boots. Made of sheepskin they are the perfect material with thermostatic qualities. The uggs breathe naturally and whisk away moisture from the skin allowing air to circulate freely, so your feet stay warm but don’t get too hot. They are made with precision stitching to ensure you get the perfect shape, fit, soft comfort and long lasting durability with your uggs.

This is a female, she is named "Max"
A big thanks to member @Goodbloke for posting this awesome photo on our forum! This is what @Goodbloke had to say about Max: “Max confuses our black cat as she swishes her tail like a dog when happy, the black cat sees that as aggression, yet they co-exist ok in our home. The black cat bonded to me, and Max bonded to my wife. Max being feral has always one eye open. She disappears whenever we have visitors. The black cat is just an OC (opportunist cat) and smooches most people after a few minutes eyeing them off.” Ha! Sounds like you
have your hands full with some opposite cats, member @Goodbloke!

The local news station was interviewing an 80-year-old lady because she had just gotten married for the fourth time.
The interviewer asked her questions about her life, about what it felt like to be marrying again at 80, and then about her new husband's occupation.. "He's a funeral director," she answered. "Interesting," the newsman thought...
