Wednesday Edition

Good morning

Well, hello there, members, and welcome to another Wednesday edition of the newsletter! How are you all this morning? We hope you're all as excited as we are because we have some great stuff in store for you today, so make yourself comfortable and let’s get straight into it!

Starting off today, we have this week’s deals from Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and IGA. There are some great offers in there, so make sure to check them out!

Next, of course, we have your second riddle of the week! This one is courtesy of member Dennis R., so a big thank you to him! It’s a tricky one, so get those thinking caps on! Here it goes:

Can you write down eight eights so that they add up to one thousand?

Hmmm, this is a tough one. But if you read between the lines carefully, you should be able to solve it. If you think you know the answer, head on over to our riddle masters thread here and submit it. If you get the answer correct, you’ll get a shoutout in tomorrow’s newsletter!
