Wednesday Edition
Good morning members and welcome to a lovely Wednesday morning. Nothing like a little midweek madness eh? What does that mean for you lot? For us, it means enjoying the little things, like a good hack, a great bargain or a cuppa that just hits the spot! So join us here at the SDC in enjoying the little things this morning! Life is just too short not to.
Now we did mention great bargains didn’t we? Well the other great thing about Wednesday’s midweek madness is that it's the time of the week that we share with you this week’s deals from Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA! Head on over to the links and check them out, there’s sure to be something for everyone!
Next on the agenda for today is our second riddle of the week! You smashed the first one this week so we decided to up the ante a little with this one. Ready?

Who here grew up with a pair of treads? These shoes were worn by 'cool kids' like surfers and sharpies in the 1970s, and every kid wanted some! The tops were interwoven suede strips, and the soles were made of tyre tread, which made them quite heavy, causing you to drag your feet and giving you that "hippy" look. It turns out this fashion trend is actually making a comeback and seems to be quite pricey these days...

Let’s be honest. Your linen cupboard is probably overflowing with years, if not decades, of old bedding, sheets, and towels. Despite your efforts to organise this area of your home, this space often becomes the junk cupboard for everything bed and bath-related. If the mound of blankets, pillows, and sheets makes you dread opening your linen cupboard, then it may be time to overcome that fear and organise it. How? You may be thinking, well, all you’ll need to do it is a $12 item from Kmart (of course).
Perth mum Alinta has shared how she transformed her linen cupboard in minutes by using these $12 game-changing boxes from Kmart. She revealed how she created a functional and easily accessible space to store her linen items. Members, we’re sure that this will forever change the way you organise your linen cupboards.

Compare Health Cover Now*
Three health insurance rate rises in the space of 18 months are what Aussies are being slapped with after a two year long global pandemic. Aussies were paying an average of $230.26 more for their health insurance after the 2021 price hikes. And now from 1 April 2022, a single person over the age of 65 will pay an additional average of about $75* more per year, with families paying an additional average of about $154* more per year.
What few people 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 & extras policy comes in at under $23 / week (or $3.22 per day) once the rebate has been claimed.
See if you're eligible for the latest government rebates to get health insurance from under $23 a week.
