Good morning Member
I hope you’ve had a fantastic weekend and are now eager to start the week with a curious thought. I was helping a friend look something up online the other day—and before I knew it, I’d gone down one of those classic “just one more click” rabbit holes.
I’m curious, though: What do you search on the internet these days? Are you looking up recipes, old songs, home projects, or maybe tracking down old friends? Share your answers in the forum—I’d love to see what everyone’s been exploring lately.

Now, let’s test your skills again with today’s Word Unscramble: C R U S T N O T C
Post your answer in the forum and if you cracked it, you’ll earn a shout-out tomorrow! Alright, let’s get into today’s stories: Easy kitchen tweaks to slash your bills, guilt-free drinks coming out this month, America’s oldest family grocery, and more—each one handpicked to brighten your Monday and start your week off on the right note.
