Tumaro's Low Carb Whole Grain Tortillas (1 pt)
Thomas' Light Whole Grain English Muffins (1 pt)
Bob's Red Mill Non-fat powdered hormone-free milk. 1 tsp in my tea or coffee is 0 points and is all the milk I need. Since it's powdered, you aren't adding extra water to your drink, so it goes further - like you brewed your coffee in milk.
I'm totally obsessed with popcorn. Not the kind from the bag, but fresh, homemade. I got this microwave popcorn popper and pop like 3 tbsps of kernels. I usually sprinkle my 2 teaspoons of olive oil on it and spray a little "I can't believe it's not butter!" spray on it and then add salt. DELICIOUS. Also good with splenda and cinnamon. I've been meaning to try splenda and cocoa powder, too...
Also good are lesser evil snacks. They make kettle corn and these crunchy chip things. Only 2pts a serving. They sell them at Henrys.
Yesterday, I tried Walden Farms alfredo sauce, ruined my low carb expensive linguine! The smell was very chemical and the taste was like Comet or something. Guess maybe I'll look for a low cal tomato based sauce.
If you like peanut butter, try the CHeerios Peanut Butter. They are multi grain and 3 points plus for 3/4 of a cup which really is a lot. I pre-baggie the whole box and grab one on the way out the door and have it while I am driving to work or at my desk. I was shocked with how much peanutbutter-y tasting they were. I just also got the Dulce de Lecehe flavor cheerios. Okay tasting, but I am not the biggest fan anyway, so probably why I like PB better.
I know people who like and people who prefer real peanut butter. Guess it is a personal taste. I have enough point for regular, but I usually go for almond butter.

Costco has great sauce. Can't remember the company. Like 4 bucks a jar. All it is in chunks of tomatoes, basil, spices. Really good. White label. NO artificial anything. Main thing is no puree just whole tomatoes.
Some of the Walden Farms stuff is really good, and some of it is just disgusting!!
I really like the Laughing Cow cheese - you can have 2 portions of the Light version for only 1 point. I like it on toast or rice cakes.

If you make a white sauce with some garlic, then add in parmesan and/or romano, you can make a really great "alfredo" sauce. Or sometimes I just add in neufchatel into my warmed pasta and a little bit of milk and plenty of seasoning. Mmm!
It tasted more like frosting, and not good frosting, to me than peanut butter. Can't stand the stuff!
