Saturday Edition - October 13, 2025

Good morning Member

Saturday’s here—the one day coffee tastes braver and alarms feel less personal. I always tell myself I’ll take it slow, but crossing off one small thing early somehow makes me feel like I’ve got life together (even if I spend the rest of the day in pajamas). It could be sorting the mail, watering the plants, or stopping by the store before the morning rush. I’d love to hear—what’s something you like to get done before noon? It’s always fun seeing how everyone makes the most of their morning.

Before you scroll too far, it’s time for “Would the Grandkids Know This One?” Something you might not have heard in a while: Dungarees.

Now it’s your move! Drop your answers here for a shot at next week’s spotlight—and if you joined in last time, check the shout-out list to see if you made it! Let’s dive into today’s stories, featuring hidden SNAP perks, beauty deals, senior care tips, Medicare updates, recall alerts, and a few light reads to brighten your day.

Does your car insurance cover what really matters?

Not all car insurance is created equal. Minimum liability coverage may keep you legal on the road, but it often won’t be enough to cover the full cost of an accident. Without proper limits, you could be left paying thousands out of pocket. The right policy ensures you and your finances are protected. Check out Money’s car insurance tool to get the coverage you actually need.
