weight watcher food scales

I want to buy some weight watcher food scales. Would be grateful if anyone had a voucher which saved a couple of pound off the £40.00

thanks

  • Does it have to be weight watchers scales? A few of the products on this site look pretty good value;)

    If it does have to be weight watchers I wouldn't mind a money off code either if it takes it down to about £30 to £35

    My WW leader was telling someone that there was a £5.00 off voucher available for them at the moment... Might be worth asking in your group if you go to one!

    check ebay - they do sometimes sell for less than £35 including postage.

    There's also an auction for the £5 voucher - for £0.99 plus £0.36 postage - not a full £5 savings, but something.

    Personally I don't rate them that much. I have a £10 digital kitchen scale that I use to weigh and use the online calculator to work out the points. Because so many 'standard' items in the WW food list (and therefore the scales) differ quite a lot from actual points worked out from the nutritional info, I wouldn't use the preloaded food info so the value of the scales would be reduced for me. Example is that WW lists lean beef mince as 5 points for 140g...but Sainsbury's Be Good to Yourself Steak Mince works out to about 3.5 points for 140g...and I think Asda's variation is slightly less. The WW figures are sort of an average I think but the actuals can really vary from brand to brand.

    It would be handy to have a scale that would calculate points from the nutritional info I'd entered, but for me it wouldn't be worth £40 since I can do it online and I use the online tracker anyway...some people love them though. :)
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?
