A cheaper alternative.....

Hey people, wondered if I could pick your clever brains?!

I love WW fruities but find them dead expensive. Does anyone know any low point suggetions for an equivalent or maybe some mints that are low in points?

Thank you!

    The fruities are the chewy ones right?

    Have not seen anything similar out there, they are unique!
    But the hardboiled versions, you can get sugar free sweets from M&S, Holland and Barratt and also Sainsburys sell Ricola sugar free sweets but they are more expensive at £1.25 a small box (rather then £1.50 a double box) but are half price at Sainsburys making them 62p a box, still not cheap!

    Be careful not to eat too many though, they don't do your gut any favors trust me! I used to be addicted to these (my mum is a weightwatchers leader and has them on tap!) I could never get enough! They pulled out all my fillings, gave me stomach issues and took a day and an age to wean myself off them, not eating them anymore mainly because my teeth are so wrecked but its done my purse a massive favor- and my stomach!

    Hi Jennie,
    Thanks for the warning! I normally have a box a day. I'm trying to give up smoking (not the actual fags mind, the nicotine lozenges!) and I seem to have some sort of oral fixation - I like having something to chew on!
    I'm working on giving up the nicotine lozenges, then I'll try and fix my mint fixation!
