Wednesday Edition

Want to hear from us only once a week? Click here to get the Sunday only send.

G’day, dear members, and a happy Wednesday to you all! I (Vella) hope your morning is as bright and beautiful as you all are! I recently had the pleasure of watching Barbie, and let me tell you, I laughed, cried, and felt a rollercoaster of emotions. It’s that good! Now, I won’t spoil the movie for those who haven’t watched it, but I will say, in a world that dictates who we should and shouldn’t be, Barbie reminded me that being myself is more than enough. Have you seen it yet?

Now, what's cooking in today's newsletter? First, we have discounts from Coles, Woolies, ALDI, and IGA. There are some fantastic deals on there this week, so make sure you check them out. Next on our agenda, we have your midweek riddle:

A professional fisherman caught 30 fish during a 5-day tournament. Each day, he caught three more fish than the day before. How many fish did the fisherman catch on the first day?

A good head-scratcher, isn’t it? When you’ve got your answer, head on to our riddle masters thread here. If you get it correct, expect a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter!

Oh, and before we get into today's news, did you hear about our new SDC Rewards subscription? It is priced at just $5.99 per month or $49.95 per year. If you opt for the annual subscription, it works out to just 96 cents per week or less than 14 cents a day. If you’re interested in upgrading your membership, you can do so today by signing up here! A special shout-out to our new SDC Rewards members: youngy650, Gaena, Laurie53, ausbear, cwolter4, Janiced53, Collinson74, and Shag57! Thank you all for your continued support!

Hospital & Extras policies start at just $3.20 per day with no lock in contracts.

It’s no secret that the current cost of living is hurting us all, and we need to find ways to ‘cut the fat’ wherever we can. But did you know that in 2023, the cost of health insurance increased by an average of $167* for Aussies over 65 who weren't with one of the 'big 5 funds'? For those older Aussies who were with one of the 'big 5 funds', their health insurance increased by $194*.

What you may not realise is that there are government rebates out there that could save you hundreds of dollars per year on your cover. For eligible Aussies, the starting cost of a combined hospital and extras cover comes in at $22.54* a week, or $3.20* per day once the rebate has been claimed.

Orchid Swan

How stunning is this photo shared by member @featherfour? This orchid is as beautiful as the story behind it! ‘I always used to think orchids were somehow magical plants that I could never hope to grow’, member @featherfour recalled. ‘I thought I would enjoy its flowers, and then it would die,’ they added. However, that was six years ago, and the orchid is thriving with each passing year! Wow! It's incredible how nature can surprise us in the most unexpected ways. Thank you, member @featherfour, for sharing. And if you have pictures you’d love to share with us, please feel free to post on our Photography forum!
