The Weekly Pinch of Shopping: The Ocado Edition
Happy Friday and Happy Pinch of Shopping! This week is a bit of an online exclusive as we’ve been scrolling Ocado’s pages, but we’ve cross-checked the products and you can find a few of them in your local supermarket — including ASDA and M&S!
We’ve found a full range of foodie goodness, from vegan and veggie bits to gluten-free desserts, and even pizza-flavoured sauce!
While the weather’s like this, it’s worth picking up a copy of our latest cookbook if you haven’t already — especially while it’s 63% off on Amazon! Don’t hang about because the deal ends at midnight tonight!
One of the main reasons Air Fryer Light & Easy is so popular with our community is because there’s no need to stand over a hot pan or have the oven heating up your kitchen — your air fryer does all the hard work for you! Find 75 new and exciting slimming-friendly recipes inside.

Siggi’s Skyr Strawberry – 118 calories per serving
Curb your strawberry cravings while smashing your protein goals with these new yoghurt pots from Siggi. Inspired by a traditional Icelandic recipe, they’re low in sugar, with each pot using 3x the amount of milk in regular yoghurts to pack in the protein without any artificial nasties.
We think this would be delicious drizzled over our Oat Pancakes. We went with raspberries and blueberries for our toppings, but you can easily switch these out for your favourite fruit.
