Re: Andrew Lessman Oct TS

So Andrew only ships CN from October through April and it's a TS now.

How many times in this time period will CN be promoted? If it's such a popular item, I would think he'd promote it often ... right?

@World Traveler

Just out of curiosity, do you order the dark chocolate 74% cacao?

@Tinkrbl44. You are correct. You can purchase CN any time from now thru April, the cooler months. However, when it is a TS or Monthly Special the prices will be the best; thus, the intense purchasing by most of us during those special pricing times.

In the past, the best prices were available in October and April for his specials, but sometimes he has a deal during December on CN (Christmas) and also sometimes in February (Valentine's Day), if I recall correctly. @Nightowlz keeps track of when things are TS/Monthly Specials throughout the years, so she would know for sure.

Another thing for those of you who like the BIG bag of 360 pieces.......that is usually only available if the product is a TS. Not sure he does it when it is a Monthly Special. Other times the largest amount will be 180 pieces. His best pricing PER SQUARE is when he has the 360-piece container available.

@SoCal Bred I prefer the 74%. I have never liked dark chocolate before ChocoNuvo came around, but now I absolutely love HIS dark chocolate.

The first time I ordered when he started making CN, I wasn't sure which percentage to get; he made them all sound so good. I normally would eat milk chocolate candy bars, not dark chocolate. So the first time I ever ordered this product, I got a small container of all three percentages. Although my preference would have been the 66% (milk chocolate taste even though it is dark chocolate), I didn't mind the 74%. The 91% was too strong for me, so I settled for 74% thereafter.

But this time I did order a small 10-piece package of 91%, only because he keeps talking about how much more benefits there are in the 91%. Thought I would give it another try.

I also ordered two 360-piece 74% bags. If I find that the 91% "better for you" is again something I just don't enjoy, then I will continue with the 74%.

I still have a couple of 360-piece bags from my April 2024 order.

@World Traveler Great point about the sizes. I think that's correct that the other times of the year, you can only find 180 and not the best prices. If you get it today and use a rebate site (mrrebates and TopCashback are both 10%today), factoring in that $15 "refund", I think the cost per square is around 37 cents.

I checked @Nightowlz list and this is what the history is on ChocoNuvo. I was so sure one year he had it for Valentine's Day because it is just really good as a chocolate item for that holiday, regardless of the health benefits, but I don't see it on the list. Must be my imagination for February.

Also, I actually think it debuted in October 2016, as I can't see him starting it in April and only make it available for one month before the heat of the summer. Could be wrong on this.

April 2020 - ChocoNuvo TS

April 2021 - CN Monthly Special

April 2022 - CN Monthly Special

April 2023 - CN Monthly Special

April 2024 - CN Monthly Special

October 2020 - CN TS

October 2021 - CN TS

October 2022 - CN TS

October 2023 - CN TS

October 2024 - CN TS

December 2020 - CN Monthly Special

December 2021 - CN Monthly Special

December 2022 - CN Monthly Special

December 2023 - CN Monthly special

Based upon this prior history, we can expect CN to be a monthly special in December, but probably not in the 360-piece size.

Tinkrbl44 · ‎08-23-2010

Great .... that's very helpful.

I have more than half a large bottle (500 caps) of CholestaCare so I was hoping to push back having to purchase CN without missing out.

A December purchase will make more sense for me.

World Traveler · ‎02-02-2015

@Tinkrbl44 If I remember correctly, one CholestaCare pill equals one ChocoNuvo square as far as plant sterols are concerned. 😇

You get to decide which way you prefer to get the benefit. I choose chocolate! 🤣

Thanks for the ratio information!

@Tinkrbl44 @World Traveler

I wouldn't throw it out either. The ChocoNuvo has 650 mg per piece. The Cholesta-Care has 800 mg for 2 capsules.

When I was eating 1 piece of ChocoNuvo my cholesterol was ok. When 1 added a 2nd piece the doctor told me she didn't know what I was doing but to keep doing it.

I also take his fiber 3 times per day which helps with cholesterol.

I'm wondering when the Ultimate Friendly Flora will be the TS? It was the TS last Oct so I thought he would have it this month. I need to order a couple of bottles. I don't like to order it when it's really hot.

My ChocoNuvo shows it will be here tomorrow. It arrived in Ft. Worth, Tx around 4 am. That was fast. The driver must have been flying. It's a long drive from TN? That would take us 3 days to drive or we would fall asleep at the wheel.
