Ordering Samples - *New and Original (Spaghetti Bolognese & Chili Con Carne)?

[Want2BeSlim]

I just went on the S&S site to order samples of some of the 'meals' but see there are two options for the Spaghetti Bolognese and Chili Con Carne, either New or Original. Can somebody tell me what the difference between the two is? I'm not sure why I can even order both versions as a sample but there is no option to select New or Original when ordering normally

Just noticed the same thing with the Porridge, when ordering samples you can choose either Sweet Porridge/Oatmeal or New Porridge, but when ordering normally only Sweet Porridge is available.

Sorry, I am a total newbie to Slim and Save.

I haven't tried the new ones but you can order them normally. I've got both arriving in my order tomorrow

If you're ordering samples I'd get both

They're manufactured by different companies so taste different. As Starlight says if you're buying samples get both as then you'll know which one you prefer. S&S intend to stock both types I believe as different people like different types.

They will be continuing to stock both so they offer them separately. You can order the new ones in bulk if you are ordering one of the 1 week to 4 week plans. If you phone them then I'm sure they would do an order of just the new packs too if that's what you wanted.

They also now do a sample pack which contains one of every pack they do.

I've tried the new chilli & didn't like it.
I've tried the new spag bol & didn't like it.

Like the new porridge & absolutely love the old spag bol.

Hope that this helps!

Thank you everyone. Good idea! I will order smaples of both new and original then to see which I prefer.

Just realised why I couldn't see new and original when ordering normally, I was clicking on 'VLCD Meals' on the left hand side. When I clicked on '5 Items VLCD (m)' I could see both types. Doh!

I see there are set amounts to chose from under 'Pack Combination' :
64 Shakes / 48 Meals / 28 Bars
84 Shakes / 28 Meals / 28 Bars
and so on... But if I select 'Confirm in notes box @ checkout' does that mean I can choose the amounts I want? for example, 50 Shakes, 50 Meals and 40 Bars and how many of what specific flavours?

 

[Starlight]

\You can certainly specify how many of each flavour you want. Not sure if you can vary the amounts from the ones that are set but Id be surprised if you cant. I expect the ones they have are the most popular ones but S&S are nothing if not accomodating to customers

 

[weasey]

Yep - the confirm in notes box allows you to specify exactly how many you want of each item.

 

[Want2BeSlim]

That's brilliant! thank you both so much for your help.

Just had the new spaghetti. Much prefer the original. The pasta is nicer but I don't like the texture so much and it's spicier. Glad I only ordered a few of them

Not so keen on the new chilli. Oddly I found it a bit bland

I'll stick with the old chilli and spag I think
