I am stocked on everything except my Vitamin D so I went ahead and got that with the coupon. 

I also had some surprise cash probably from the order they cancelled on me.  Wasn't as much as the coupon I used with but it was a token gesture and I took it. 

I so wanted to try ChocoNuvo for the first time but I didn't.  I'll probably regret that at some point.

Oh, just got a call from a friend who likes ChocoNuvo, and frequently bums some from me (at my insistence!).

She said: "Did you know that Lessman is going to have some specials this weekend and I think it includes the ChocoNuvo."

I said: "I'm way ahead of you. I already purchased THREE containers of the 300 count." 

She said: "Why so many?

I said: "Well, one container is not enough of the chocolate squares to last me a full year at one a day, since there ARE 365 days in a year." LOL!

She said: "Oh, yes, I get it. But THREE?"

I said: "Well, I do like more than one a day. Come to think of it, I guess I COULD cancel the other two containers, but I thought you might like to have some too."

She said: "YES!! Go ahead and get three containers!"

I've already mentioned to some of the people in my office that the product I share with them from time to time is having its once-a-year, greatly-reduced sale, so I was going to get a full year's supply. Smiles all over the place! Doesn't take much to make my coworkers happy. 

The other thing that brings a smile to their face is when I bring in popcorn bags from Boom Chicka Pop. Has anyone ever tried their popcorn? It is the best I have ever had.

Right now they have four of their holiday flavors available: Dark Chocolate Drizzily Sea Salt Kettle Corn, Hot Cocoa Marshmallow Kettle Corn, White Chocolate and Peppermint Kettle Corn, and Frosted Sugar Cookie Kettle Corn.

They are all non-GMO popcorn, gluten-free ingredients, whole grains, no high fructose corn syrup, cholesterol-free, zero trans fats, vegan, kosher, and yet it tastes really good. 

Can you tell that I like to feed my face?

@Laura14 How about just a small container? That's how I started out. I got a small container of each percentage.....66, 74, 91. Yes, it is more expensive per piece that way, but at least you get to try a small amount before investing in a huge container of something you might not like.

[Laura14]

@World Traveler  I had it in my cart but I can't get over the sugar even as small as it is.  Maybe I'll loosen up by April.

[World Traveler]

@Laura14 Just remember, he does not offer it year-round because of the heat. But perhaps in April he may still do it. Don't recall when the cut-off was last year for producing it.

I am duly warned @World Traveler.

I'm only out of Vitamin D, so I am getting off easy this visit.

Unless he tempts me with good pricing on my regular items.

You are right! They all look as if they have the same amount of plant sterols! Thank you!

@LTT1@World Traveler

I checked out his CholestaCare vs his ChocoNuvo earlier today.

With the CholestaCare you have a take 2 capsules per day with a total of 800 mg plant sterols.

With the ChocoNuvo 1 piece of chocolate is 650 mg of plant sterols.

@1 piece ChocoNuvo .43¢ or 2 capsules .44¢ CholestaCare using the prices for the ChocoNuvo TS $129.99 300 ct plus the CholestaCare 720 ct @ $159.99 on HSN today.

You end up with 150 mg more plant sterols by taking 2 capsules vs eating 1 piece of chocolate.

@Nightowlz I can guarantee you, I don't eat JUST one piece of chocolate! LOL!

Thanks for taking the time to research this. Very interesting. Did you happen to check out the Oatmeal/bran that also has plant sterols?

---

@World Traveler

I did not check it out since I forgot it had plant sterols in it.

[World Traveler]

@Nightowlz I threw my large container of the oatmeal out when I emptied the last little bit into a smaller container, or I would look.

Here's the info. from Andrew's site.  Looks like they both have 800 mg Plant Sterols per 1/4 serving. 

The 180 ct size at his price today of $99.90 has 180 1/4 cup servings at .55¢ per serving.

At least if you run out of his chocolate & it's hot you can always eat his oatmeal or take his CholestaCare.

Oatmeal

We combine heart-healthy Oats with cholesterol-lowering Plant Sterols. In fact, the 800 mg of Plant Sterols in just ¼ cup of ULTIMATE OATMEAL is all you need to transform your cholesterol levels. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, consuming at least 400 mg of Plant Sterols twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 800 mg, as part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease - each ¼ cup of ULTIMATE OATMEAL supplies 800 milligrams of Plant Sterols. Plus, our ULTIMATE OATMEAL is also a natural source of soluble fiber, including beta-glucan (at least 1 gram per ¼ cup) that may also reduce the risk of heart disease as part of that healthy diet.

Oat Bran

We combine heart-healthy Oats with cholesterol-lowering Plant Sterols. In fact, the 800 mg of Plant Sterols in just ¼ cup of ULTIMATE OAT BRAN is all you need to transform your cholesterol levels. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, consuming at least 400 mg of Plant Sterols twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 800 mg, as part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease - each ¼ cup of our ULTIMATE OAT BRAN supplies 800 milligrams of Plant Sterols. Plus, our ULTIMATE OAT BRAN is also a natural source of soluble fiber, including beta-glucan (at least 2 grams per ¼ cup) that may also reduce the risk of heart disease as part of that healthy diet.
