Yup, balsamic vinegar is definitely free. All types of vinegar are free on plan. It's balsamic dressing that you have to watch out for as it is usually really thick and sticky due to the high amount of sugar in it x

Either way a few syns didnt matter because when I stepped on the scales this morning ..... I had sts as last week! Yay! It is all that I wanted this week due to the very naughty weekend and I am very happy
