What thats alot of syns for some dried fruit! i've had 14 syns then already as I've eaten half a pack (about 50 grams)

I'm really not a fan of baked beans, I can just about handle them with a full english but otherwise, they're not for me. I've just bought a WW lasagne, which is 6syns on green and EE, for when i'm running low on time.

Just off for my jacket potato for tea!
This is my menu for the day - EE
B/L - 2 slices of wholemeal toast & scrambled egg & beans & bacon
Snack - 1/2 bag of banana chips (14 )
D - Jacket potato & lettuce, celery, peppers + cucumber & ham & light butter (1)
Snacks - Probably have a mugshot later. don't have any syn free snack type meal things in.

Marions rice with fatty Tesco yogurt (3.5 syns!)
Pasta and HM tom sauce(1) and dsp parmesan (1).
Prawn curry (with cream in it so 6.5 syns), rice and peas. fruit.
Toast and marg (2)
2 Hobnobs (7)

Today I've had 14.5 syns including what I'm going to eat for tea so will have to be strict with myself when the evening munchies come along.

thank you skint_catt!!!

Ooh thats good! I feel less guilty about having some on my spaghetti!

I know the sachet seems a waste of syns but i personally think it makes the best chilli con carne!!! Mine just never tastes right. We make it go 4 ways which is 2 syns per serving which isn't so bad
