Sunday Edition
Goooood Morning Members! I hope you’re taking it easy on this lovely Sunday morning? I hope you’ve got a nice, hot cup of tea or coffee either in those hands of yours or on their way to you, because what’s a Sunday morning without a hot cuppa?!
Now as many of you know, we write our Sunday newsletters a little bit in advance. This weekend I (Maddie) am supposed to be camping (weather pending) and I’m not going to lie to you, I’m a little concerned about how I’m going to get my hands on a hot cuppa come Sunday morning. Maybe I’ll make a percolator on the fire or something. Although don’t worry members, I’ll get creative, you lot know how important my morning cuppa is.
Any who, you aren’t here to listen to me ramble about my potential lack of a cuppa, you’re here for the wrap of the brilliant week that was!
So ladies and gents, let me give you the rundown of what happened across Australia and around the world this week:
-
This week, Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, and IGA gave us some real juicy deals including John West Tuna Tempters, Hong Kong Kitchen Dumplings, Slape & Sons Traditional Range Sausages, and some
household cleaning gadgets. You can still get these deals today!
-
We also learnt what the different coloured price tags at Aldi mean. This one’s a life-changer.
-
Woolies is being reminded to double-check their milk after one customer made a disturbing discovery.

-

-
A Coles shopper thought they discovered the ultimate Coles self-serve hack, but other shoppers and staff alike are not amused.
-
Social media users went crazy over this $7 Kmart plant box hack that will leave your garden looking posh.
-
One mum shared how to leave floors sparkling in seconds using this $2 ‘miracle’ solution, and it can be used on showers and cooktops too!
-
And finally, the annual bogan baby name list was released this week, and this year’s list is a doozy! From Salmon to Zinc. Here are the most bogan baby names of 2022.
And that’s a wrap ladies and gents! But don’t stop reading here, because there is so much good stuff to come. Today’s picture of the day is one of my favourites, so be sure to scroll down and check that one out. As always, stay safe members, enjoy your reading and we will be back in your inbox tomorrow before 8am AEDT!
Most importantly, stay safe and happy reading you lot!
- Jonathan, Vella, Sean, James & Maddie.

Any old ‘Spruso’ rockers out there? Who remembers the tag line “Spruce up with Spruso!” Ah these were the days, you don’t see as many young men with their hair combed back like the Spruso men’s were!

Have you ever noticed the different markings on the price tags of some items in Aldi? Eagle-eyed customers pointed out that the German retailer's yellow price tags have inconsistent markings on them — some having black writing and the other in red — leaving them wondering if there's any meaning behind these markings.
Apparently, there is meaning behind the different markings! The markings actually indicate the availability of the items. TikTok user Queenie Tan, who is famously known for her username @investwithqueenie, has spilled the secret behind the markings on the price tags used by Aldi. Click the button below to find out more.
