Substitution ideas & Low-Point Snacks!

This seriously looks like a mess in the beginning...I apologize for this..but it took a REAAALLLY long time and I am out of patience to fix it!  Just read it this way..the first item listed is SKIP THIS, the following number is the amount of points found in the item you should skip...the second number is the points value of the recommended substitution, then the final name is that which is recommended! easier to see the further down you get. Again, sorry! It looked nice and neat when I typed it, but the way my blog is set up, it messed with my lines and spacing!
