CARTOON ANSWER:

AFTER USING A COUPON TO GET THE FANCY CHEESE AT 70 PERCENT OFF, THEY —

VTAISDERE = “SAVER-ED” IT

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday!  No difficulty with the clue words today and I dashed right to the cartoon.  After reading the sentence, it was obvious that the solution would be a play on saving money or a particular type of cheese.  While looking at my letters, IT seemed like the correct choice for the two letter word so I scribbled it down.  No cheese types came to mind but ED seemed like it would fit in the two blocks inside the quotes leaving me SAVER for the finish and completing this very smelly pun.  I hope you were able to stick a “Roquefork” in this puzzle for a quick finish and if not, I hope it didn’t make you “Blue”!  Have a “grate” day and I’ll see you tomorrow.  😵🧀
