Where is the cheapest place you have found them, including shipping and does anyone know when the caffeine free one's will be on the market?

That is where I have been looking and no, they are definately NOT cheap.  I do not know how much caffiene is in them.  I have been drinking some sample packs of the caffeine free ones.  I love them but they are not available for sale yet.  I think if you call BE @ 1-888-777-4202 they may be able to help you.  They gave me some great info this morning and are sending me some samples of some new drinks they have.  I think it will be 6 or 8 different flavors.  I will let you know when I get them.

Hey Tammy,

There is no "cheapest" place to purchase AchievOne's. However, I personally still order them from BE as I have not had any negative experiences with them. In addition, I'm speaking with the buyers at Joe's Market (division of Ukrop's here in Richmond) and asking if they'll start stocking their shelves again with this. They did until Skylar Haley had marked issues with distribution. Its a "supply & demand" situation for Joe's Market.

I recently contacted Skylar Haley with regards to the newer AchievOne flavors. This email I received back directly from them is as follows:

Good day Katherine

Thank you for contacting us regarding achievONE and our new flavors.  The chocolate and vanilla flavors contain the same nutritional values as the current offerings of achiev with caffeine, just no caffeine.

20g protein

25% (or more) daily intake of vitamins/minerals

0 fat 

100 calories for vanilla

110 calories for chocolate

BE will be carrying the new flavors in the tetra pak later this fall.  You just had a preview of what’s to come!

Just to confirm…chocolate and vanilla won’t and don’t contain caffeine.  The tetra pak flavors of cappuccino, mocha, hazelnut, and vanilla nut will contain 120mg of caffeine as they currently do in glass.

 Susan will be making the announcement once her delivery dates are confirmed.

I'm going to call BE in the am and ask about the samples you are going to receive. Is there any other helpful information you can pass along?

Hugs to you .........

Thanks for the reply as I am surly hooked on the Mocha flavor...maybe the chocolate one, too...but i will have to try it first!  Someone at work told me today that Ukrops is stocking the Achieve one, but I did not see any when I was there on Tuesday.  I will call or go by today and check it out.  Please let me know if Joe's Market does start stocking again.  If you pass the contact info along, I will contact them also so that hopefully it will light a fire under them and they will start stocking them again soon.  I hate to pay shipping if I do not have to.  When I called BE yesterday it was to verify what I was drinking (since it was a sample...not for resale and no name, only a flavor on it...so I asked for sales (the picture of the product was not on the website) and in talking with the rep I asked what samples they may have.  She told me then I asked what the cost was and she said there was no charge she would mail them out to me the same day (yesterday).  I will let you know when I get them and we can sample them together if you want!
I am ready to call Joe's Market right now...they are so darn close to my house!

Oh wow... I've been missing these drinks!!!  Back in Texas (Houston) we could buy them in certain grocery stores.  I would stock up when I went to visit friends.  Haven't had one since April when I went to TX for a visit... 

Thanks for the info that they are going to have some caff-free drinks!  Wooo hooo!!!  And, what's this new pack?  Are we talking not glass bottles?  Will this cut down on the shipping cost??  Hoping so.  Maybe I can actually afford to buy them every now and then!!!  :)

It is a "tetra pak" they call it...kinda like insulated foil.  It is really light so it should cut down on the shipping.  I will keep you posted on the caff free ones and if we can get them in a store here in Richmond, I'll let you know as well.  They are awesome.  I can't believe what I have been missing all this time!

Thanks Tammy!

IF they have them for sale in the stores up there, let me know.  It would be worth the road trip to come up and buy some....plus it would give me a chance to meet YOU!!!  :)

Please keep me posted.  And definitely let me know when they are selling the caff free AchievOnes!!

I will let you know asap.  I have placed a call this morning and am awaiting a call back as to if they can get their supplier to come through or not.  I will post as soon as I know something. 
The caffeine free ones will not be available until fall from my understanding...September or October at the earliest but I will keep you posted.  Would love to finally meet you!
