Hey all,
I'm a WW LTM and ex-staff-member (in NZ). I've only just moved to the UK, and so while I have the programme pretty much sussed I'm really struggling with basically having to start over with the food. Back home, I knew which were the best brands, who did low fat but still tasty options, what treats felt like an indulgence but didn't cost too many points (Knight's liquorice straps for 1pp used to be my favourite!), what options when eating out give you the best value for your points, etc...
These are the sorts of little tricks that usually you only learn about after months of supermarket shopping and becoming familiar with the products, or spending ages inputting a million different options into the calculator. Or, all that can be fast-tracked, by sharing our finds with each other.
The only one I've really discovered so far, is that M&S do a "milk and belgian white chocolate mousse" for only 3pp! If I've had a long day, and just need a little pick-me-up in the evening as I commute home, it's a brilliant fix.
So, what are your top discoveries?
