Christmas Special - Low Syn Supermarket Finds

With just over 2 weeks to Christmas (how did that happen!?) it's time to start stocking up on the festive favourites we look forward to each year. These supermarket finds are both time savers and syn savers, which will hopefully leave you with more time to relax with your loved ones and less chance of overdoing the syns over the Christmas period :) 

Skinny Brands lager - 4.5 syns a bottle

Christmas day can be a boozy affair, and beer is typically quite high syns. This Skinny Brands Lager is delicious though, and at jus 4.5 syns a bottle it's worth getting a couple of bottles in! This is available in Asda and some other supermarkets, or you can order a batch through this link on Amazon.

Auntie Bessie's Mini Yorkies - 1/2 syn each

These little puffs of yorkshire pudding can act as a base for your own canapés, or as a side to a roast perfect for soaking up gravy.

Lidl Deluxe Mini Mince Pies - 4 syns each

These traditional mince pies are very reasonably sized, and have a delicious filling of spiced brandy mincemeat. The perfect festive dessert and just 4 syns a pop.

Tesco Finest Chorizo, red pepper and manchego cups - 1/2 syn each

These are an interesting find, could be served as a pre-dinner snack or nibbled on between the many meals of Christmas! Really low syn too, so no guilt here :)

Tesco mini roast potatoes with light seasoning, 2 syns per half pack.

These are certainly a convenience buy, to save you having to peel chop and season your roasties why not get a couple of trays of these mini roasties and put your feet up for a short while.
