Sugarbear (and others new to this board)
I’m going to offer you some friendly advice.
Plenty of people here shop at GNC. Are there more economical sources for supplements? Absolutely. Are there better resources for supplemental information? No doubt. Do guys here get lambasted when they mention it? Generally not.
The reason you got flamed (and quite mildly I might add) was because of the tone of your first post (and subsequent posts)(you’ve since deleted). It was not helpful advice warning people to pay attention to their entitled discount, it was about the “stupid (expletive) cashier” and how enraged you became and getting in her face.
You’re a newbie here, people don’t know you, nor do you know them. To come in like some raging bad ass with no prior history of helpfulness or humbleness and then to engage in a pissing match is asking for it. There are plenty of other forums here and elsewhere for that.
There are a lot of seasoned, knowledgeable, and helpful people around here. Show respect and get it in return. We expect nothing more and accept nothing less.
Welcome aboard.
Cheers!
True indeed!!
I shop at GNC frequently. As far as the prices are concerned, I think it depends on the products you seek. For all the talk about online stores, I've yet to see one where the price for one of my favorite supplements, CELL-TECH, is less than that at GNC. The going price for a 7-lb jug is $60 ($48, when you use a Gold Card). And, I've NEVER seen any online store offer CELL-TECH for as low as $20.
Of course, that's the markdown for the 7-lb jugs of the old CELL-TECH formula, which have likely been cleaned out by now. But, if I find anymore, I intend to scoop them up. The best scenario is when you find the marked-down items during the first week of the month. Had I done so with the aforementioned jugs of CELL-TECH, I would have paid only $16 each for them.
I also got to try V-12, courtesy of GNC's markdown (along with V-12 Turbo being pushed, with VAULT on its way to the market, at that time). My best deals have been with the protein drinks, specifically RTDs (IsoPure, NITRO-TECH, ABBs Drinks, MET-Rx, etc).
Good deals are where you find them, and in my opinion, wise shoppers use various sources....INCLUDING GNC.
