Friday Edition
Good morning members! A pinch and a punch for the first day of the month! Whew! We can't believe it's April already! We were going to pull a classic ‘April Fools’ joke on you all and send the newsletter a little later or pretend the SDC was closing for good, but you know what? We decided we like our community too much to pull a ‘prank’. Aren’t we just the most thoughtful bunch? 😉
Anywho, enough about us, let’s get into business. It’s time to reveal the third and final riddle for the week!
What is green and lies at the bottom of the ocean and quivers?
A big thank you to member Marty V.R. for sharing this absolute cracker with us. Any ideas? This one has us scratching our heads, but we figured with the way you guys seem to steamroll riddles every week, you'd have no trouble cracking this one. So if you think you know the answer, post it here in our forum, and as always, if you get it correct, you’ll get a shoutout in tomorrow’s newsletter. Deal?

Who here remembers the Caramello Koala? It’s (still) one of the most-loved Aussie treats, along with Cherry Ripe and the Freddo Frog. It has long been a feature of showbags at various Royal Shows around Australia. It’s so iconic, but unfortunately nowadays, it’s nowhere near as big as it was back in the good old days! Shrinkflation even got the ol’ Caramello Koala.

Millers Stripe Smart Jumper Navy Stripe $20 @ Catch*
We just absolutely loved this Millers Stripe smart jumper! Not just because of the navy and yellow combination which is gorgeous, but because it is a little longer in length and goes a little bit further down your legs, which is not only in style at the moment, but is sure to keep you nice and warm. This is the perfect jumper to wear with a nice pair of white pants or a pair of jeans and sneakers. Stay warm, feel comfortable and look great in this $20 jumper from Millers!

Ministry Wildfire Textured Summer Slide Natural $9.99 @ Catch*
Don’t you love it when the weather starts to get cold and all the shops put all the summer stock on sale? I sure do! I couldn’t not include this in today’s deals because I thought these pairs of slides were just so gorgeous. They are a classic slip-on sandal that has that trendy woven material that is very ‘in’ at the moment. They may not provide the support we need for an everyday shoe, but they sure are a great little pair of flats to wear out to a nice lunch or dinner in the warmer months! And the best part is you can grab them for just $9.99 today!

Target 2 Slice Stainless Steel Toaster Red $29 @ Catch*
Breakfast, as we all know, is the most important meal of the day so it's important to consume something that's filling, nutritious, and easy to make... or otherwise known as toast! Target's 2 Slice Stainless Steel Toaster in the colour Red boasts not only its multi-purpose abilities but also its classy and distinct design. It features a bright red, stainless steel construction that comes with reheat, defrost, and cancel functions. At first glance, you'd think this can cost you up to a hundred dollars but it's only $29! How good is that?

Bo Paris
Today’s adorable picture is thanks to member @Nychelle. They posted this photo in our photography forum with the caption, “I took this happy snap during a trip to Nikenbah markets. Our fur baby, Bo Paris, is always up for a smile and a photo opportunity.”
How cute is this photo? This has brightened our day! We’d love to give little Bo Paris a belly rub because he’s such a good boy! Thanks for sharing this one, @Nychelle.
