What I'm Lovin'

Do you have an Aldi in your area? We have a really nice one in our town. I always, without exception, stop there and get as many groceries on my list before I head to the dreaded Walmart Supercenter. There are, of course, some name brand items that we use that I can't get at Aldi. But I get the majority of our staples and snacks there. And I buy all my produce there. And it saves me a lot of money.

They carry a couple of brands that I really like. One is Fit&Active and the other is Millville.

A "find" from Fit&Active are the Light and Crispy Vitality Cereal Bars. I have tried the Blueberry and Chocolate Drizzle. They don't have as much fiber as the FiberOne bars, that are all the rage right now, but all total they are only 1 WW point with 3 grams of fiber. And they are delicious! And they are a great afternoon snack item with a cup of green tea.

And there are tons of other Fit&Active products I like, including their turkey bacon and yogurt. My mom gets their ice cream bars that are the equivalent of Weight Watchers bars, but lots cheaper.
 
Millville carries two products I enjoy (both for the taste, and especially for the price!)

Millville's Bran Cereal is about half the cost of the generic brand at Walmart, and tastes just as great!

But the other product I just stumbled upon makes me so happy!

I have always eaten their instant oatmeal in maple and brown sugar. But now they have it with 10 grams of fiber for the same size packet!!! Technically it's still 3 WW points per packet. But, since it's right on the borderline of 2 points and since it has more than 3 times the fiber of the regular instant oatmeal in the same flavor, I'm going to call it 2 WW points.

These are just a few things I am keeping in my regular diet. They are not fad diet foods, but just good long-term choices.

And I thought I would share.
