Can anyone post the sample packages and their cost for me? I am currently considered "inactive" since I haven't turned my shows in for this month yet and so I can't view the sample packages on CC. I was wondering how much I need to stash away to purchase the sample products.

Thanks!
 
As far as I know, the packages haven't been posted. We won't be able to purchase them until 8/3. As far as cost, I have some numbers, let me go get them...
 
I have noticed that packages followed the SAT levels last time... (maybe this is not true every time) Also the newswire mentioned having open stock items too... But here are the numbers I was looking at... And I could be wrong!All products totalled $464.60 so half of that is $232.30

I think your SAT levels might be off a little. Check out CC and go to promos and click (over from June) "see what you earned" SAT levels. Hope this helps.
 
Thai Peanut Sauce is part of the "Submit 2 Shows" level.
 
Does anyone know if we will be able to purchase the open stock stainless saucepots as sample product? I know they aren't really "new" products, nor or they a part of the SAT groupings, so I just wondered if we would be able to purchase those at 50% on August 3rd.

SAT = Sell a Thon.
June was a Sell a Thon month meaning that based on our sales we could earn various amounts of new fall products.
CC = Consultants Corner OR Consultant Connection based on the in this case it's Corner

Thanks Kris! That gives us some 'planning time'.
 
Thank you!!! Now I can figure out what I want without trying to decide on the 3rd and trying to order at the same time! you are amazing!
 
Open Stock:(prices are cost)
I'm not sure what you mean by this? They look to be half price?
 
thats what i was thinking?
 
Yeah! So glad the strainers and cookie press are open stock!
 
I was happy to see the list of open stock. Much longer than I expected!

I'm glad the strainer and the snowman plates are open stock...but I may not have to buy them at all...when I get my Directors Pkg. !!!
 
Looks like I'm going to have to get some things I don't really need in order to get what I was wanting. Oh well. I'll either keep them to have to show or give them as incentives or rewards.

Yeah Becky!I don't think I'm getting the plates though...my plates and platter from last year are collecting dust.ETA: ...and not just because it is summer...

I'm sure that she meant our 'cost', as in the 1/2 price amount, not the full price for the customer. She has cost listed next to the other 1/2 price amounts.
 
Is there a limit to open stock sample items we can order? I'd like to get more than one of the snowman plates so I can collect a set to use for parties.

You can only get one of each item. Check with your clustermates to see if they wouldn't want it for themselves and would be willing to order it for you (with you paying them).
 
Cost was the 1/2 price amount...:) I just didn't include the retail prices in the open stock list...I'm sorry for the confusion!

Thank you so much for posting!! :)

I was really going to try to get sample pack A this time around - and now I am glad to see it is only just above $100. Also, I really did not want the snowman plates and I was worried they would be in the Sample pack - so I am very happy to see they are open stock!! The LAST thing I need in this house are more plates :). So I am thrilled to see almost everything in A, I would probably buy at some point!
 
I'm glad the Stainless Mesh Colander Set is open stock. Thanks for posting the info, Kris.
