Wednesday Edition
Good morning, folks! And happy Wednesday. We love our Wednesdays because we get to bring you all the good stuff, including deals. That’s right, the Coles, Woolies, ALDI and IGA discounts for the week are here! Now, keep in mind these discounts come into effect today, but tomorrow most supermarkets will
be operating on a public holiday schedule. Not to worry though, we’ve given you the rundown of supermarket opening hours below. Speaking of the public holiday, we will be sending our newsletter tomorrow as per usual. We’ll be including a special dedication to honour the late Queen.
Do you know what else Wednesday means? Your second riddle of the week! Today’s riddle is thanks to the wonderful member, Dennis R. Thanks for sending this one through, Dennis!
What flattens all mountains, wipes out all species, destroys every building and turns everything to pieces?
Ooooh, a tough one to kickstart your Wednesday, but that’s alright; that’s what we want, isn’t it? To get those brain waves going! If you think you know the answer to this riddle, post it on our forum here. If you get the answer correct, we will give you a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter. My oh my, how generous are we? 😉
One last thing before we jump into the news! I want to tell you all the one thing I’m grateful for today, and that is to have woken up in the very sunny Brisbane! I went for a beautiful run along the river and found myself in Southbank. It was so nice to see so many people out and about enjoying their morning. I know I'm only supposed to pick one thing - but I am also grateful for how friendly everyone seems in this city! I have spoken to a few people here and there who have been so kind and helpful. What's the one thing you're grateful
for today?
