Nature's Own Whole Wheat Sandwich Rounds are 2 points (note these are not the Sandwich Thins but the Sandwich Rounds).

I sometimes buy the pepperidge farm mini bagels which are at least small but not light.

I have thought about trying

Basically I don't worry too much if bread is light but I do plug in the numbers in the calculator and find something lowish in points but still whole grain.

must be the same as light manyonnaise and light dressing. something ain't in there? lol

It does have less calories but I've not stood there and compaired the two at this time.

I found bread yesterday that is made by Arnold, it's high fiber whole wheat and only 2 pts for 2 pieces. 35 calories per slice, high fiber and protien!! I'm thrilled, finally i can have a sandwich without the guilt of too many points!!!

Not sure if you have the Dempsters Body Wise brand at your stores but I tend to stick with it. Bread is 2 slices for 2 points and the wraps are 2 points also. They have bagels too, used to be 2 points on the old plan, probably up to 3 now. I eat a lot of wraps lol

Sara Lee 45 cals a slice, whole wheat or whole grain bread is 1 pt. Sara Lee also makes 80 cal whole grain hamburger and hotdog buns. I have not bought any recently, so am not sure of points on them.

I like MERITA LIGHT Wheat Hamburger Buns. I get them at Walmart or BiLo but occasionally see them in other stores. They are 80 calories but I don't know how may points they are. You said that you have been to Kroger. I got their store brand Light Wheat Sandwich Buns in the past and like them fine.

There are some low carb bagels that I occasionally get at Publix. The ""Alternative Bagels" come is several flavors and I find them all yummy.
