Good morning

Happy Wednesday, members! The sun is up, the coffee is brewed, and we’re already halfway through the week! Whether you’re up early or snoozing your alarm for a few extra minutes of sleep, I (Vella) am thrilled you’ve decided to start your day with us. 😊 As per usual, we kick things off with this week’s Coles, Woolworths, ALDI, and IGA deals. Next, the second riddle of the week:

I’m always there, some distance away. Somewhere between the land, sea, or sky, I lay. You may move toward me, yet distant I’ll stay. What am I?

Submit your answers in our Riddle Masters thread here. If you get it correct, you’ll get a shout-out tomorrow.
