So Halo Top is out, but would love for Canadians to share some products that caught their eye that we can actually buy. I found a yummy BBQ sauce for 10 cals/2tbs called Guy's Award Winning BBQ sauce which I am not putting on all my chicken, just in time for bbq season! Still waiting impatiently on Halo Top lol

Sweet Leaf Stevia - I got a bottle of drops at Superstore, and I'm reasonably happy with them.
SmartFood Popcorn in Jalapeno Cheddar and Caramel/Chocolate: I do make my own popcorn, but the seasoning on this sticks in a magical way I can't accomplish at home.
They were just at mine doing a travelling road show lol The salsa ones were great!
Unfortunately they don't have it all the time - hit & miss!
Dollarama has been selling the Starburst sugar free drink flavouring, $1.25 for a pack of 6. I find 1/2 the packet sufficient even in a can of club soda. They taste exactly like a starburst without the calories.
I love the Ristorante pizzas and usually price match them at Walmart for 2.99 but mine are all 900 calories plus. Need to look and see if we have the ultra thin!
I am Canadian but I got nothing to add.
Keep 'em coming! This is going to be on my next shopping list. I did not know about the 'potato bread' at all!
Editing to add Skinny Grape wine and coolers...

Costco sells frozen mini chicken and cilantro wontons from the freezer section (I guess thats obvious) that are low in calories and can be nuked in about a minute or two and are a good snack. They also carry a brand of frozen French Onion soup that is really delish but I cant remember the name of it - comes in a 6 pack, preps in the oven. Hubs and I find it really filling.
I love Special K cracker chips in all the flavours - tastes like chips to me but I can more easily moderate these - and Pop chips too.
Chapmans makes frozen yogurt in wonderful flavours that are low in calorie - I am not an ice cream fan, so really the conversations about Halo Top dont excite me, but these froyos are really tasty for only about 90 - 100 cals.
I cook a lot of meals at home and rely on the LooneySpoons cookbooks - they give you all the calorie counts and nutritional info, weights and measures in grams, easy to find ingredients (nothing too exotic - nothing I havent been able to find in local grocery stores like Loblaws or Metro) and offer a wide variety of recipes to choose from including vegetarian, asian, mexican etc.
Regarding cauliflower "mess" - I found that putting a tea towel around the food processor while I grated the cauliflower really cut down on the mess. I could then use the same towel to wring out the liquid. I dont like to pay for convenience foods when there is a quick, inexpensive alternative.
I would eat Kit Kat 70 Dark bars ALL...DAY...LONG.
They seem to have them in every gas station/airport/grocery store in Canada...I don't know why I can't find them in the U.S. (although that's probably a good thing for me).
