Granolas from M&S...

I went looking for a new Granola to try out, variety the spice of life etc... So on my last trip to M&S I spotted all of these beauties.. Definitely something for everyone! Oddly enough, the No Added Sugar one has the highest SPs, possibly because of all the dried fruit and coconut... I went with the peanut one, lovely just as a topping on porridge! There's definitely one for everyone in the audience! Anyone tried any of these? x

Popped Chips from M&S...

Spotted these on my travels, which aren't very far these days but thought for anyone with a savoury tooth like me they might sort out that craving... There are 4 flavours in the range and one is a corn snack, so think sweet'n'salty popcorn kinda thing... the other three are potato based... 3SP for all the flavours per 23g serve, if you're able to lock up the bag and hide it from yourself afterwords! Anyone tried them out? x

Oven Baked with Veg from Walkers...

Spotted these from Walkers on my travels (sadly travelling is now to a different supermarket locally!) and I thought I'd point them out of curiosity... Not individually portioned out, so you'd need the discipline to weigh out 30g or whatever you fancy but I'd keep going at the bag until they were all gone... Seems too few snacks for too many SPs to me, but I'd tempted to try the beetroot ones if anyone wants to share?! Anyone tried these out? x

On your marks... Get set... Bake!

Ok... So we're all not Mary Berry BUT we can all be Mrs. Kipling or bake a Cadburys brownie thanks to these all in one cake mix boxes... I spotted these purely for the Halloween cupcakes and thought it might be something people would do with the kids over the break... The others I pointed out of curiosity, and I promise you, there are no typos... OH MY! Now the cakes say they serve 12... I know... The SmartPoints are for the cake as fully baked... But aren't the cupcakes cute! Anyone baked one? x

Pumpkin Pasta is a thing!

New fresh pastas from Aldi... I spotted the seasonal pumpkin packaging and just had to see how they were points wise... I think they're pretty good! The thing I love about these are they're quick and comforting... by the time the water is boiling your in your PJs and ready for the Bake Off! SmartPoints are for the pasta when it's cooked just in case you spot the packet and think it's weighed out wrong... it's the added water to plump it up! Pumpkin pasta going on the menu in Casa Kinsella! Anyone tried these yet? x

High Protein Cheese - Dunnes

I know high protein cheese isn't for everyone but it can really give you that cheesey fix, without all the points... I LOVE cheese, I'm convinced I was a mouse in a former life... or a cheese maker! Grating this over pita breads or in toasted wraps/sandwiches will give you that cheesey flavour without all the SmartPoints... I'm a fan of this one... Anyone else tried it out? x

Müller Skyr pots!


These are the new Skyr style yoghurt pots from Müller... I'm always a bit dubious when I see 'high protein' on things now because it can often mean high sugar content so studying the label isn't a bad thing to do... 10SP is a lot for a yoghurt but the joy of WW is you can eat what you like as long as you track it, so nothing is off the menu... Anyone tried them out yet? x

Another individually portioned product that might save you time when the dark nights are drawing in and you're just in the door late, this time from Dolmio... These sachets are all in 150g sachets, bar the Tomato and Basil flavour... I spotted two plant based versions too for vegetarians and vegans. 45seconds in the microwave and chuck it on some pasta... dinner! I spotted these in Supervalu... Anyone tried them out? x
