Smart Choices with Weight Watchers®

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

May 10, 2017 by Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living Filed Under: Coupons

This post was sponsored by Weight Watchers® International as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

As you all know, I work out of the home. Working from home has it pros and cons. Pros include a flexible schedule, getting caught up on mindless tv, and having a quiet home – this doesn’t happen often with three kids! Cons include people not recognizing you as a working individual (this happens when people request play dates or lunches – I just can’t), trying to juggle a crying baby and a phone call, and eating junk that is found in the home. If we bake a cake, that cake often doesn’t live to see the next day – and that is not due to the kids eating it, it is me! Because I have no will power when it comes to food, I have learned to not buy food that is high in calories or full of sugar. If I buy my kids a treat, I tell them to hide it in a spot in the home that mom doesn’t know about (is that terrible or pure genius?!)

I think the worst time of the day for me is the 3 PM hour. I normally have the munchies and often need a large cup of coffee. I was pleasantly surprised when new campaign reached my inbox for Weight Watchers® International. You saw me recently talk about SmartPoints® in this post about Recipes and Their Weight Watcher Points post.

Two snacks I picked up from my local Giant Landover Grocery Store (in McLean, VA) were JOLLY TIME® Healthy Pop® Popcorn endorsed by Weight Watchers® and Weight Watchers® Ice Cream Novelties. The popcorn is only 3 SmartPoints® per serving. It is Non-GMO and gluten free. You can grab it in kettle corn or butter flavors. The ice cream is made from low-fat milk, is under 100 calories and comes in many different flavors. I picked up the Vanilla Fudge Swirl Cones and English Toffee Crunch Bars and this time I hid it form the kids! These snacks have me reaching toward smarter choices and not making requests of the kids to hide the snack food.

Right now when you buy 3 participating Weight Watchers® products, you can save $2. Download coupons via your Ahold grocery retailer’s reward card. These grocery retailers include Stop & Shop, Giant Carlisle, Martin’s and Giant Landover. Coupon available from 04/23/17 – 05/20/17. Limited quantity of offers. Search for coupon by entering Weight Watchers® brand name.

When shopping, be sure to also check out:

Flatout® Flatbread endorsed by Weight Watchers®
Weight Watchers® Candies
Weight Watchers® Cheese
Arnold® Sandwich Thins® rolls endorsed by Weight Watchers®

I plan to pick up the Arnold® Sandwich Thins® rolls endorsed by Weight Watchers®. These sandwich thins are BIG on flavor but LOW in carbs and sugar while HIGH in protein and fiber – it’s a winner! My lunch recipe would include sliced avocado, with a dash of fresh lemon, and turkey slices.
