Friday Edition

Good morning

Well, hello there, dear members! Fancy seeing you here on a Friday morning? I (Maddie) told you, you would be hearing from me quite a lot this week, so don’t pretend you weren’t warned! 😉 I cannot thank all of you who gave us some feedback about our new tagline yesterday, you all gave me such a good laugh. As it turns out, a few of you weren’t a fan of the word ‘wonderful’ which I find hilarious! Don’t you think you’re all wonderful? Because I sure do. Anyhow, I am heading back to the drawing board, so while I’m here do you have any tagline suggestions that you can share with me here? I’m going to do a poll soon to give you all a few options (including some of the brilliant tagline ideas you shared with us yesterday) and vote, but I figured why don’t I ask you lot to see if you have any more tagline ideas? I can’t wait to read them, and thank you so much for your help.

Anyhow, you aren’t here to read my rambles, you’re here because it’s Friday and you want to see what the third and final riddle of the week is! Here’s how this week’s final riddle goes:

If 5 cats catch 5 mice in 5 minutes, how long will it take one cat to catch a mouse?

How’s that for a final riddle? My goodness, this one is way too tough for me. So I hope you know the answer! If you do, post it on our forum here. If you get the answer correct, you’ll earn yourself a shout-out in tomorrow’s newsletter. Not too shabby a ‘deal’ if you ask me.

Now, that’s enough from me! What’s happening across the world and around Australia today?

• Kmart has discreetly launched a new range of must-have items from a $12 portable BBQ to an $18 travel pillow, plus so much more. Here's your chance to get a first look!

• An enthusiastic home baker tried her hand at recreating a viral cake tip using Woolies mud cakes, and the result was a ‘hilarious’ disaster, but hey, at least they gave it a go!
• BIG W had a flash sale last week, and now, Kmart is jumping on board. The best part? Items are on sale for only $1, $2 or $3! Will YOU be checking this sale out?

And that, ladies and gents, is a wrap of your Friday morning news. But don’t go anywhere just yet because my goodness this newsletter is loaded with some good content for you all to enjoy. I recommend checking out today’s trivia question for a good little brain workout, our ‘Let’s Save’ segment for some awesome discounts and our hilarious ‘Grand(dad) joke of the day’ thanks to member @Skipton. My goodness, @Skipton you know how to make me laugh.

Before I let you get to it, I'd also like to give a heads-up! I know health insurance isn't the most interesting topic, but the majority of health insuerers will be increasing their premiums by an average of 2.90% in about a week's time*. This means that a lot of you could be paying on average anywhere between $167 and $194 extra per year on your health insurance*. We know this isn't money you have 'lying around'. So to see how much you can save before April 1, why not try comparing your health insurance?* If you don't save any money, don't change insurers! But what happens if you could save hundreds? Compare and save today*.
