yep, this is what I started with and it's not as much as now, it was $350.00 worth of products and business supplies, where now it's over $500.00.
The kit dropped to $90.00 for a few years then we changed to what we have now.... I do wish the TTA was offered now! And when I started we got the 3" self sharpening paring knife.... I loved the old DDB too!

Was it the 3" knife, I couldn't tell by the picture so I guessed! I got the $90 kit. While it had some great stuff in it, alot of the products that come in the current kit I had to earn or buy myself. So glad I hit every single Super Starter Month when I started. I love the free PC$ earned now. Helps new consultants not have to spend too much out of pocket. HO is so great to us:love:
