Aldi's new super-cheap low syn wine range!

Credit: Aldi 

Aldi have been serving up the good stuff for us slimming worlders for a while now, with a long list of items that suit the plan to a T. This, however has to be one of their most interesting offerings so far. A range of wines called "Featherweight" that, at a mere 55 calories for a small glass  (150mls) makes this a very low syn wine -  3 syns per glass. 

At about half the ABV of a regular wine (5.5%) you will be ever-so-gracefully buzzed on this low syn wine. Whats more  - it is very cheap at just £2.99 a bottle. The range is only available in selected stores around the UK currently. Have you come across it? Please share the love with your fellow slimming worlders by commenting below if you have seen it in your local.

Cheers to Aldi! 

Low-syn Rocky Roads

Rocky Roads are a classic, and such a rich food is typically made with the high quantities of rich ingredients such as butter and sugar. Rocky Road bars from the local cafe can set you back up to 20 syns! However with a few smart swaps, this slimming world version of Rocky Roads will set you back a mere 4 syns a pop. Perfect on the go snack or to impress the pals at an afternoon tea at yours. :)
