I'm so cheap with my snack points, I never eat anything more than one point, because I also am a grazer. Even my lunch is rarely above 2 points (salad with 1 pt of nuts and 1 pt of regular dressing, all shaken together in a tupperware container).
I bag everything in one-point ziplock bags -- I am convinced that this has helped me immensely with my mental image of portion control. When the bag is finished, so am I -- unfortunately this used to be the case for me whether it's a one-point bag of carrots or a 10 oz bag of potato chips, so might as well be the one-point bag.
I adore my digital WW scale, got it last year for Valentine's Day and it made all the difference for me -- so easy to use, very exact, "almost" fun
Lately, here are my favorites:
Miss Meringues minis (depends on the variety how many in a bag, usually 6-8). the large ones are two for one point. Worth every crumb, but a bit addictive with all the sugar.
Melba whole wheat rounds (I think it's 8, you'll have to check the box)
Half a WW Just Two Point bar or Breakfast bar - cut in long quarters diaganonly, then in half (across), this will give you six diamonds. Cut the two biggest diamonds (at the ends) in half lenghwise. Gives you four diamonds in each one-point serving.
Boston low-fat popcorn (already bagged).
10 chocolate-covered blueberries (Trader Joe's)
Chidori crackers (about 7-8) from Trader Joe's, taste like hearty fortune cookies
1/2 cup spiced applesauce from Trader Joe's
Jules Destroopers Almond Thins - three (Kings in New Jersey)
Almondina biscuits - I love Gingerspice, but other flavors also -- 2 (Trader Joe's)
Roasted Corn Kernels - nice and salty, you can't put too many in your mouth at one time; they'll break your teeth! But they're full of fiber, they last pretty long and are delicious. -- Trader Joe'
Good luck
