Short answer... yes... you can budget however many points it is each day if you so desire. However, the caveat to that is that the serving size is probably small, so it won't be filling, and with that small number of points you have for the day you probably want to get the biggest bang for your buck out of everything, which means loading up on the filling, low-point foods. Another option is to use some of your flex points (35 per week) for the extra treat, or, you could exercise for the number of points that are in the ice-cream and break-even for the day. But that's the great thing about weight-watchers, you can work in treats if you want to. Happy counting :)

It seems like you really like ice cream if you'd have it everyday. I love ice cream. We keep regular in our freezer.... I will generally have one serving a week of full-fledged ice cream than low-fat ice cream. But, that's just me. To me its worth it..
But like Leesa said, WW is so great because you can decide. If you want to save room, save room. Most nights I save a couple points for some type of treat, chocolate, popcorn, whatever it may be, a small treat. If you want to fit that in, do it. The activity points is a good idea too if you're coming out too hungry even with the ice cream, or using some flex points also.
