Wednesday Edition
Good morning, members, and welcome to another wonderful Wednesday! And you know what that means, right members? Aside from reading the juicy stories we have in store for you today, it means getting your hands on this week's supermarket deals.
We have found some great deals for you over at Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and IGA, so head on over to the links and check them out.
Now onto our second riddle of the week, so don your thinking caps because here it goes:
A man runs away from home. He turns left and keeps running. After some time, he turns left again and keeps running. He later turns left once more and runs back home. Who was the man in the mask?
Hmmm, you guys should have this one! If you think you know the answer, head on over to our riddle masters thread here and submit it. This one is a bit of a toughie, so as a clue, think ‘American pastimes’. As always, if you get the answer correct, you’ll get a shoutout in tomorrow’s newsletter!
