    Here are some of my staple grocery items:

    Kashi's TLC Granola Bars=2 pts.
    WW ice cream bars= 1 or 2 pts. depending on variety
    salad mix, tomatoes, cukes, etc...
    grapes, bananas, pears, etc....
    FF pudding cups...I do not like the SF varities
    SF jello
    FF Cool Whip
    Choc. covered graham crackers
    Kudos bars= 2 pts.
    Chicken breasts
    Tuna in water
    Orieda Cripy Crinkles-french fries (bake them)
    Baked tortilla chips with salsa
    Diet soda
    Low sodium soups
    String cheese
    Low fat yogurt
    Microwave bacon is lower in points than regular
    Low fat wheat bread-make a BLT
    Low fat Miracle whip-again I don't like the FF variety

    Hope this helps...read labels and check out the recipe boards here!
    Good luck....
  • Thanks for the tips
    Thanks for the tips.it defintely helps...Where about wi are ya from.. Southeastern here
  • Canned beans, Thomas Light multi-grain english muffins (1 pt for a whole one), low fat cheese, ground turkey, wheat pasta, frozen veggies, light cream cheese!

    I could go on and on and my list would be huge, mainly b/c I love to cook and I'm always trying new things. What helps me a lot is picking recipes that I plan for the week and go from there. Throw in some low point snacks like fruits and veggies, and a few "treats", like light ice cream, ff/sg pudding mixes, low fat graham crackers, etc. Good luck!
