Surprising or shocking pro-point finds....

[Dubchick81]

Not surprising or shocking.. But just something I've found out...
Minute Steak - 5oz (141g) = 5pp (4.5 really but rounded up)

 

[Amigurumi]

Multigrain pringles 3pp per serving 25g. Taste like original ones but more filling.

Oh also kinder egg 3pp. Id rather a curly wurly than that! And 7pp in half a bag of jelly snakes! In the yellow italian style tiramisu cakes you find in cake aisle of supervalus etc the whole cake is 50 pp which isnt too bad as you would probably take only an 1/8th or less anyway.

 

[StayGoldxOx]

Half a bag of Uncle Ben's express long grain rice is 5PP
Chupa Chups fruit lollies are 1PP (great if you want to kick the chocolate cravings!!)
Snax, Chickatees, Quavers all 3 PP!
Hula Hoops - 5PP >=[

Only in multipacks I think Sarah x

 

[azwethinkweiz]

That'd probably be it... Me being a cheapo always buys multipacks!

Don't know if it's been posted before, but Sainsburys do sugar free marshmallows!

I calculated them using the info for each marshmallow and half a bag works out at 3pp, 7pp for the whole bag (when worked out by weight, but oddly the per marshmallow values multiplied by the amount in the bag gives 6, so make of that what you will!)

I just found out that a 32g bag of pretzel m&m's are only 4pp! Insane. I'm eating some right now. Nom.

Just had a new quorn chicken tikka for my tea and I must say it was delicious and only 7pp and I'm not a vegetarian and I could barely tell the difference

When I was posting I wasn't sure if it was 2 or 3 so I just put 3 to be on the safe side

It is 2PP ( I only get the multipacks too )

Maybe I'm still new at this but I had thought bread was 2pp a slice. Took out my calculator and doybled the NV's on about ten different bread brands in supermarkwt the last day and all of them bar one came out as 5pp for two slices of bread! Big differences for people having 4 slices a day every day thinking they are within points.

One nice one I saw on biggest loser. They suggested swapping a frozen pizza for a bizzillion cals, for a wholewheat tortilla wrap. Cover it in tomato puree, low fat mozzarella and some veg toppings, put in oven and hey presto PIZZA!

You have to make sure of multiples of things. When 1 thing is 2pp that doesn't necessarily mean that 2 would be equal to 4pp. Sometimes it'll be 3pp, sometimes 5pp. Its because there are no half points anymore.
I buy irish pride vita kids bread and its 4pp for 2 slices I think (will make sure tomorrow).

I love "fake" pizza lol. I sometimes use 2 WW pittas (5pp) and put puree and LF cheese on... Mmm!

I have tried pittas alright too! Very tasty. I suppose though I mentally think of them as a lunch time food though. This would be circular and in slices visually looking like a pizza which would suit my brain. I'm so hungry now rhinking of it. Too late to eat though. Water n bed before badness!
