can we talk a bit about doing budget-friendly SW please?

I've been doing SW for 10 days and I'm spending more on groceries than i should.
My downfalls are fromage frais, mullerlights and especially Alpen Light bars.

Of course i could just not buy them but they really satisfy my craving for sweet stuff.

have you looked at the students 7 day plan on the website thats supposed to be done on a budget maybe you can get some ideas from there

Have you tried the slimming world cakes? made with the scan bran that you buy from class???

i think they are great and low cost to make.

i brought some natural 0% yoghurt, some frozen berries and some oat flakes cereal.. my plan is to mix it all together to make a nice fruity yet crunchy yoghurt, althought i havent worked out the syn value for the oat flakes yet. but as they last longer than the alpine bars that might be a cheaper alternative to both the muller lights and the alpen bars??

Have you tried the scan bran you can buy from the class
put 5 ( B choice ) in a flan dish make up a sugar free jelly the full satchet but with only 1/2 a pint of water pour it on whilst its still hot and pres the scan bran down to resemble cake then put a pkt of frozen fruit on the top and leave to set
then serve it topped with fromage frais / yoghurt / quark / which ever or all three mixed with candarel to make your cream then you can have that all day as your b choice and the rest is free

i make the cake quite often it lasts all day having 1 slice with a cuppa makes you feel like you are not on a diet
