I'm sooo bummed. I just got my order and no soy crisp snack sample. I must have misunderstood 'cause I thought there would be a sample in every order. When I called customer service they were not aware of any samples going out with orders. Mine was a regular order and not a 4 week pack, so maybe that was part of the reason. Anyway, if you are hoping for a sample of soy crisps don't get your tastebuds ready....boo hoo hoo

Well that really bites, I placed a small order that I really didn't need for just some cold drink packets so I could get the samples...

What is up with that, I will be sooo disappointed if there are no soy crisps in my box tomorrow....

Hi, which Medifast website do you mean? I understand that if you order on this site, they send samples with orders. I use the main Medifast website, and other than sending samples when the salad dressings came out, normally, I don't receive samples. Shouldn't say never because I have an order arriving tomorrow, so who knows whether I will get a sample. Also, the crisps just came out, so maybe the distributors around the country, haven't received the samples for members to try, yet, whereas, the main Medifast site, of course, has them available right away. I am getting the crisps tomorrow in my order, and hope to post how they are.

I placed my order through this site, Nancy and Terry's site. Hopefully they will be in my box, or I will be really bummed...

I place a 3 week order on the Friday before the announcement, so I was already bummed when I found out about the new product since I wouldn't be ordering again for a while...

but I will be patient and wait and see... Hopefully they will be in there.

I didn't get my sample either WHAAAAA

[Ginabobina1969]

No sample here either!! I ordered through my HA tsfl site I guess tsfl isn't doing the free samples just the main medifast site???

Ah well, at least I have crackers again...

I got my samples, and I ate those little bugars on the way home to Amarillo Friday night during my drive from hell.... And all I can say is "Thank God they were in there"... They helped me from straying....

And they were great... I got the ranch, and can't wait to order them all... yummy, just the crunch on that I was needing...

I think it took them a few more days than they thought to get their act together, but I hope all this week's orders get the samples! My order was on the 30th, so I TOTALLY missed out.

I did add them to the auto-ship for later this month, so I'll let you know!

I ordered through my HA. I placed my order on the 1st of May. When my order arrived and I had no soy crisps, I just called the 800 number. They were very nice about it. My shaker jar was broken and one of my boxes of shakes was missing a packet. They are sending me a new shaker jar, a replacement packet and the soy crisp sample. I guess it just depends on who you talk to.

I did receive a sample packet of the Ranch Crisps in my order that I received on Friday? But, that is also the day that they sent me a whole case of crisps for $5.50!!! Of course, most of you know that I chose not to keep the case, and UPS picked it up yesterday to send back.

Joan

[jump4joy]

A whole CASE....wow, that must have been a shocker. You are a very honest person and wise to send it back. :clapclap::clapclap:

[Ct. Yankee]

Yeah, I guess that I am honest, probably too much so! Got to get to Heaven some way!!! I just didn't feel right keeping a whole carton of crisps that I didn't order.

I most likely will get blasted for this, but I still wanted to share. With hubby going on plan and "snacks" not being a "neccessary" part of the plan I most definatly try and find ways to save money on the snacks.

I have enough flab left to take whatever beatings come my way but here goes.

Also, I am NOT recommending anyone do this or not... that is your choice!
I am just sharing what I am doing SNACKWISE and showing a comparison between two excellent products.

I found some Genisoy Soy Crisps in the store the other day. I got a 3.5 oz bag for $2.69 which breaks down(the way I do it-will explain further) into approx 7 servings.
Rich Cheddar Cheese Flavor(love them) are wayyy comparable too mf soy crisp in every aspect.

The serving size is listed as 25 crisps and what I have done is count out 12 and 1/2 crisps and baggy them up separately.(yes I actually break a crisps in half) Halving the nutritional info puts that info as follows:

Genisoy Soy Crisps Rich Cheddar CheeseThey do have other flavors as well.
Serving Size: 12.5 crisps
1 Serving
50 calories
1 g fat
0 cholesterol
160 mg sodium
7 g carb
1 g fiber
.5 gram of sugar(1/2 g if I wrote that wrong )
3.5 g protein

The MF Soy crisps info is as follows:
I don't know how many crisp but there are seven servings to a box.
1 Serving
60-70 calories
2 g fat
0 mg cholesterol
95-210 mg sodium(depending on what kind)
7-8 g carb(depending on what kind)
1 g fiber
1-2 g sugar (depending on what kind)
4-5 g protein( depending on what kind)

Just thought I would share! Let the thrashing begin.

Hugs,

No thrashing from me, as soon as I saw we were allowed these I looked in my grocery store and found Nutrisystem Nourish bags of the EXACT same flavors as Medifast. They look exactly the same as well, but only cost $1.19 per bag, that is only 60 cents a serving. The bags have more in them though, so when I have snacked on them I only ate half of the bag and saved the rest. I have lost nicely this week so obviously it has not done anything to my weight loss.

Nutrisystem Nourish White Cheddar Soy Chips

Serving Size: 1 ounce, servings per bag 1 (I only eat half the bag, 9 crisps about)

Almost exactly the same as I said. I can't afford any more Medifast after this month, we are having lots of medical bills for the baby and my other son and the dentist... all 3 of us just went and saw him, 2 of us had cavities filled So I am glad I found these.

I have eaten the soy crisp from the grocery before and the ranch is very good.
