Saturday Edition

Good morning

Well, hello there, good lookin'! I didn't see you come in. Welcome to another wonderful Saturday! It's us again, your friendly and wacky SDC team, here to provide you with another jam-packed edition of things to keep you entertained! I (Vella) hope you're ready for another dose of fun because we love making content for you all! Every newsletter, article and forum post is filled with love from us to you. So I hope we can make your day just a little bit brighter, even if it's just for a moment. That's what we're here for!

I just want to take a moment and give a big ol' THANK YOU to each and every one of you who takes the time to read what we have to say. It means the world to us! Oh, and a life update from me, aside from writing the newsletters, I'll also be interacting with you all on the forums starting Monday. So, if you see me online, don't hesitate to say hi! I would love to chat with you all.

Now, without further ado, let's get into today's activities! To start things off, let’s take a look at the answer to yesterday’s riddle!

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?

And the answer is... a pair of glasses! How did you all go? I must say, this one had me scratching my head for a while. But, as always, you all came through and nailed it! If you got the answer correct, you’ll find a shout-out waiting for you at the bottom of this newsletter.

Now, onto our next segment for the day, ‘What Would the Grandkids Say?’ Today, we’re taking a look at the phrase 'touch grass'. This phrase means to 'go outside’. Kids today usually use this phrase to imply that someone spends too much time online, on their phone, or playing video games, and they need to go outside and experience the real world. So, next time your grandkids are glued to their screens, tell them to touch some grass!

So, what's happening across Australia and the world today?

• Aussies have been warned to watch out for emails and messages that claim to be from myGov saying you’re eligible for a refund or rebate - it’s a SCAM! Some of our members have reported receiving these messages, too, so be careful!
• Check your emails now! You could have FREE steak or seafood waiting for you from Woolworths.
• This shopper has revealed how she nabbed $120 worth of fresh produce for only $70, and you don't even have to leave the house to do it!
• ‘That’s way too much!’ Shoppers have been left shocked after this popular Woolworths Easter buy was spotted for ‘sale’ at an eye-watering price. Have you noticed this too?
• Are you placing Woolworths, Coles and ALDI checkout dividers this way on the conveyor belt? Stop! You've been using them wrong all this time — and the ‘correct way’ might just blow your mind!
• One of our members was left disappointed after noticing their favourite Coles product has shrunk in size but not in price. Is your local Coles guilty too? Let us know here.
• An Aussie has issued an urgent warning after waking up with a terrible burn - and this popular technology may be to blame. Do you own one?
• This pub trivia question has the whole internet stumped. Can you solve the mystery?
• Love drinking coffee to start your day? You might want to rethink that, as a new study suggests it could be better to wait until later in the morning for your morning brew. Here’s why!
• Karl Stefanovic, known for giving Prince Harry a hard time, has surprisingly agreed with the Duke of Sussex on something he claims all men can relate to. Do you agree?
• ABC staff have received public backlash after deciding to stage a strike, their first in 17 years, despite being offered a $1,500 bonus and a 10.5% pay rise. Are they in the wrong?
• Tired of the same old appetiser? Spice up your next meal with this Speedy Tarragon and Garlic Mushrooms dish! Enjoy the deliciousness of this flavourful combination, ready in just 20 minutes!
