Last month, Spackbace posted the deal: 1 Free Burger @ Grill'd Every Day from 4th-12th October - Sign up to 'Polished Man'. While donating to Polished Man was optional we were blown away that OzBargainers had donated ~$700 so we offered to match donations up to the intitial goal of $900. Fast forward to today and OzBargainers have donated $4,487! Great job everyone. Bonus points for OzBargainer Alan, who documented eating 14 different burgers during the week.
Next month we will be turning 10 years old and to celebrate this significant milestone, we are inviting retailers to participate in our 48 hour sale event from 21st November 2016 at 12PM to 23rd November at 11:59AM. Emails are currently being sent out but if you are a rep or know a retailer who would like to participate, please contact us on our OzBargain 10 Birthday Page. Discussion

Winners from last month:
mrbillions for the deal of the month — 15% off eBay Site Wide. mrbillions seems to have a reliable source of those site-wide eBay sales, as he has also posted about the event in Dec 2015, Sept 2015 and June 2014.
manoj Jayswal for the most clicked deal — the latest Hungry Jack's coupons, which gets 34,000+ clicks from those looking for cheap feed.
Thespottedcow for the competition of the month — McDonald's Monopoly Instant Win. I can't believe only 30 marked themselves as entered, when 30 wins have been registered by 20 unique winners here. Also where's Katie? Her competition post would have earned her an award.
Spackbace for just being active on the site — it's also his 3rd consecutive wins at our monthly award. He posted the most deals (90 with +45.89 vote average), 5 competitions, 723 comments, edit the most times as a power user, etc.
