The slimming student

My name is Alice, and I'm a student at Aberystwyth University. I've recently joined slimming world in order to lose the weight I have gained since attending, and to offer my own experience and recipes to others like me. I'm also looking for any way of saving money on the things I love, and these will also be shared on this blog.

Hifi bars and cashback

Morning all! I vanished again, but I'm determined to keep this going!

Today, I'm going to talk about my diet savers - the slimming world hi-fi bars.
Over the past two weeks I've really not been well, and while being bedridden my boyfriend has had full reign over the kitchen and what I've been eating, which means that my diet has suffered. Over the past two weeks I've put on 1lb (I know that's not much, but when I wanted to lose a stone by september it's certainly dented my confidence).
The only thing keeping me on track is my hi-fi bars. To make sure I still had my healthy extras, I've been using them as a snack with a glass of milk, and they have certainly kept me on the diet mood and left me with  little sugar to alleviate my cravings as well as not joining the syns in the rest of my meals.
I love these things, you can only get them from group (and I'm really glad I stocked up as I ended up missing a week) but they are delicious chocolatey sugary morsels that have been keeping me on track from the beginning. If you've never tried them, they come highly recommended from me!

In other news, I've just started using an app called 'checkoutsmart', it has a lot of cashback deals alongside some bonuses just for submitting your reciepts and try it free products. I've had it about 2 weeks and have already saved £10 off my groceries! The last try it free was the new birdseye chicken inspirations, and the chargrilld fish inspirations (neither of which are likely to be good on syn balance, but like I said, I haven't been cooking). The tomato and basil chicken is amazing, and I would definitely recommend it to those who haven't tried it!
This week you can get a free bottle of Volvic touch of fruit 750ml from Sainsbury's, Tesco, Asda and Waitrose! (Unhelpful for me, I don't have any of those stores nearby, but if you have one, go get it!) You get your money back quickly after submitting your reciept, so far it's never been longer than 24 hours for me!
There is a 5% charge to cash out your account if the amount it less that £20, but once you hit that mark you get every penny!

If you get the chance, I would definitely look into it. It's been fabulous for me!
