    Can I just report my first (of many I hope) proper food optimising day in AGES!!

    I have had 11.5 syns - have one HEB left to have and rocked the free food! AM quite chuffed - and am about to have a go on the Wii Fit (yes I got one - I LOVE it - even if my Wii Mii looked like a Weeble with legs;))
    Onward and upward - with the odd step to the side

    Thanks to BarmyCow, I have now tried the butter buds and find them delicious. I had 2 on a jacket potato as I put too much water in first one so had to add a 2nd sachet:o .
    Trouble is I've forgotten where to buy them and how many syns each one is. Anyone know?

    I'm thinking ahead here, but does anyone know if there are any free burgers, i know i can make my own free, but i'm thinking of BBQ time, they will be a bit harder to BBQ.ta

    Don't know of any meat ones but Sainsbury's meat-free burgers (frozen section) are really low, I think - something like half a syn. Haven't had them for a while so maybe someone could check (please) just to be sure as I know these things can change. They are really quite nice especially with some salad or spicy relish, in the garden, sun shining, long cool drink, friends...
