    Good Snacks to eat with little syns?

    My fave low syn treat is a whispa ice cream bar, 6syns and worth every single one! Or mine meringue nests from aldi, 12 in a pack for 99p and 1syn each - must have about 4 a day woops! With raspberries though so that makes it ok right! 8-)

    Sausages
