« on: March 05, 2008, 08:37:02 AM »
If memory serves, a cpl years back I used to pay about 28 - 36 bucks for a 5 pound tub of protein.

Now the same thing costs $60. This is outrageous!!!

Usually, bodybuilding.com, but I've looked at other sites.

There's also Vitamin Shoppe, where their brand (BodyTech) of whey protein powder, called Whey Tech, runs for $25 for a 5-lb jug. Whey Tech Pro (which has more whey protein isolate and Aminogen) runs for $34.

5 Lb for $25?  That's the lowest I've seen lately.  Thanks MCWAY!

You're welcome. Of course, the best deals is when you can get the stuff on clearance, as I did in January. But, that price has been fairly consistent at Vitamin Shoppe's site. The BodyTech line has some great stuff. For example, if you're a fan of CELL-TECH, you might want to check out Crea-Tech Extreme.

Use the Super Saver Shipping, which cost only $3 and can have your stuff delivered in 3-10 days (Shipping is free if you order at least $99 worth of stuff).

Seriously, STFU. I pay over $100 for 6lb (yes its from GNC, but thats with the gold card!!)

I guess you could say we are somewhat limited for choice here in Aus. Although a new independent supp store just opened, they will have more choice, but it wont be cheaper :(
No doubt about it...

gas was $1.19 in 2001..... It's almost $4 today.

Oil was $26 per barrel in 2001... It's $112 today.

gas/oil bring the food to the stores.  When prices for these things go up 300 to 500%, food's gonna go up to.  Milk is up 80 cents in the last year, after only going up $1 in the 10 years before that.

I noticed protein powder went up five bucks the last time i got some

Atleast im getting free protein and supps from Muscletech now

Whats really pissing me off is Trader Joes

SHit, this place used to be cheap.

 Eggs went up sixty cents this week along with everything else. 

When the economy gets better do prices come down? probably not

I dont even know what that is, but i will look into it.

Im new to using supps to be honest, i never spent much money on the them except for BCAAS and Glutamine

 I really like the powder, especially the free price,  but i have a bunch of boxes of Nitric Oxide, the first shipment they sent was Muscle Assylum products. Now I get to pick out the supps i want.

I have notice that myself as well.Most protein powders in New Zealand are very expensive depending which brand it is that if it is from the States that is expensive.But for Muscletech which I have seen in the supplements shops hear in NZ the prces for Muscletech supplements are insane.

MuscleTech's prices are a  bit coo-coo here in the USA, too........UNLESS you wait for the markdowns (i.e. when the products are about to "expire") and use the Gold Card at GNC  ;D .

OK loco I finally decided I'd take your advice and try the Ultimate Nutrition whey protein (chocolate and strawberry).

It's 2 dollars cheaper on DPS than on bb.com.

This stuff had better taste GREAT or I am gonna come after you on the religion board ;)
