Sunday Edition

Good morning

Goooood Morning Ladies and Gents! How are we all doing on this lovely Sunday morning? Safe, happy, and healthy we hope? We’re getting straight into it today with our quote of the week…

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.”

This is such a powerful quote, and one that we often need reminding of. So many times in our lives we find ourselves wanting something, whether that be a healthy relationship with our loved ones, a new car, or a new job. But so often we find ourselves not taking the necessary actions to make these things happen. We get comfortable in our routines and our ‘safe zones’. But if we want something different in our lives, we need to be willing to take risks and do things we have never done before. So today, we challenge you to take one small step outside of your comfort zone. It can be something as simple as starting a conversation with a stranger, or calling a loved one you haven’t spoken to in a while. Whatever it is, just make sure it is something that you would normally not do. You never know, it could lead to something great, and if it does, we’d love to know.

Now, let’s take a look at some big stories from across Australia and around the world this week…

• This week, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and IGA gave us some fantastic deals, including any two meats for $15, $2 Ben's Original Risotto, and some budget sustainable and eco-friendly homewares. These deals are still available today!
• Three ALDI cleaning products were named the best in Australia at the recent Canstar Blue awards.
• SCAM ALERT: A woman revealed the eight-word phrase that saved her from being scammed by a hacker who targeted her while she was unwell with COVID-19. Be careful, members!
• Kmart and Coles shoppers warned others to be cautious after two popular kitchen items exploded. Be careful, members!
• Australia’s top supermarket executives shared their best affordable grocery hacks, including an 80c item to help combat the cost-of-living crisis.
• Ladies went crazy over this $30 dupe of a $2500 designer item from Target.
• A Woolworths employee slammed a customer: ‘don’t you dare come into my store looking like this.’
• A Woolworths shopper was left frustrated after making a 'disgusting' discovery in a trolley at his local store.
• We also learnt the one drink Flight attendants say is the worst thing you can ask for on a flight.
• Foodies raced to get their hands on this new Woolworths $4 item, which is perfect for hot chips and can be made in under a minute!
• And finally, a Coles shopper was slammed for his cruel prank on a Coles employee to get himself free grapes.

And that our lovely members, is a wrap of the week that was! Ah, we love our weekly wraps. There’s nothing quite like reflecting on the stories we’ve had the pleasure of writing for you each week. It makes us feel very fulfilled. Of course, the good stuff doesn’t stop here (if we can say so ourselves.) We have a very interesting ‘Yesterday’s Australia’ segment, and an incredible photo of the day thanks to member @Algieboy!

Also, be sure to check out today's OzWord, our 'Last Two Letters' game, our Sudoku puzzles, and our Word search for some challenging brain training! 

And last but not least, don’t forget to enter our ‘Nostalgia Competition’! All you have to do is simply tell us your most cherished memory from the Australia you grew up in for your chance to win a $100 gift voucher to Coles, Woolies, Aldi or IGA!

As always, members, stay safe and happy reading!
