Nope!!

Again, all it takes is patience. Wait for the markdowns; use the Gold Card; and clean up!!!

I'm sure this topic has been beat to death...

If you want to score some products that are expiring for cheap, you can do that at GNC.

If you want to buy anything else be prepared to pay more than any other place on the planet.

Well here in Aus all supps are a rip off. But the gold card system thing helps, and every now and then they have buy 2 tubs of protein, get 20% off, 3 get 30% off. I bought 4 and got 40% off. Still cost me a shitload, but worked out to be ok value i guess.
No doubt about it...

I can honestly say I have never bought supplements from GNC - we have them here in the UK too - how that store stays in business I'll never know.  :-\

What are you talking about!? Maybe the GNC stores outside of the NY/NJ area are a bad value, but i get 45% off everything in the store the first 7 days of the month. For example: ON protein 5lbs is 36 bucks. 5lbs of Muscle milk is 40 bucks. Now that's cheap even compared to online stores. Don't get much better than that 'round these parts.

I live in Florida, and the GNCs in the Sunshine State have good deals, too. There's one at a particular mall that almost always has stuff marked down. Most of the time, it's the RTDs, either the GNC ones or the kind from ABB (Pure Pro, Mass Recovery, Blue Thunder).

And, if you're in the mood to try MuscleTech's or Gaspari Nutrition's new stuff, GNC often has the "Buy one; get one 50% off" promotion (in this case, that promo is for MuscleTech's sister company, Muscle Asylum).

It's like anything else, they have some good deals and then they have some things you can find elsewhere  cheaper.

Get this through your skull, Mr. "Rebel Without a Clue": I do not now, nor have I ever worked for MuscleTech or any other supplement company, such as Gaspari Nutrition, Optimum Nutrition, ABB, or any other entity I mentioned (which you, in your knee-yerk haste to blubber and wail upon the very mention of MuscleTech, neglected to see).

Indeed!! For those weeping and gnashing their teeth about the price of protein powder, I recommend checking out Vitamin Shoppe. Its BodyTech line has a protein powder called Whey Tech, which goes for $25-$28 for a 5-lb. jug (the lower price is on the website; the higher price in at the retail store).

For a slightly higher quality of protein powder, there's Whey Tech 24 Pro, which has more Whey protein Isolate, a higher percentage of protein per serving, and contains Aminogen. A 5-lb jug of that goes for about $35.

NON GNC products are generally overpriced.....   but GNC's line of supps are pretty good.  Try the Anabolic Leucine Stack...
