Since the materials I have from when I attempted WW over 3 years ago were, obviously, 3 years old (seriously, on the back they said "updated for 2003", LOL), I ordered a new "Starter Kit" from Weight Watchers with the books on points values for eating out and common foods.
Something I found during that shopping experience really surprised me. On eBay, people are paying up to $20 more than the same materials would cost if they went directly to Weight Watchers online store! I knew there was price gouging that went on there, but geesch, I didn’t expect to see so many people making this kind of profit!
The "Basic Starter Kit" that I bought on WW for $22.95 is selling on eBay for Buy it Now prices of up to $40 (ex.)!!
I found one kit that consisted of the $22.95 starter kit + the $9.95 calculator selling for $60 on eBay (ex. and ex.)!! I guess the $27.10 the buyer would be overpaying is for the promised "basic tips to get started" that are included. Gee, what a "value" :-/ (Even the bidding start price of $39.99 is guaranteeing a profit on the WW cost of $32.90)
On the other hand, if I ever happen to lose my conscience, at least I know how to make some easy and quick money
But anyway, back to my order. I ordered an extra 12-week diary in addition to the one that came in the starter kit (btw, I love, love, love the material the new organizer the materials come in compared to the one from 3 years ago) as well as the 32-oz "insulated water mug" ($5.50 on WW vs prices of up to $14.99 on eBay (ex.))
So, I got the $22.95 starter kit + $5.50 mug + $3.95 extra diary for $32.40 - makes me sure feel like I got a sweet deal when I compare it to the auctions on eBay - WOWSERS!
And yes, since yesterday was day 1 of my week (my weigh-in days is Monday), I dutifully entered what I’d eaten for the day into the diary last night. Go me! Now to go to WW online eTools and calculate the points for last night’s dinner (to make sure I was right) and to log it on the website and then come back and record it here
