The point: Notwithstanding the fact that I already consume eggs (which, incidentally cost less where I buy them than where you do), I can get the RTDs for about as much or for LESS. That's why I buy them. Here's the proof.
Let's see: One dozen eggs for $1.60, assuming those are large eggs, that's 72 grams of protein.
I just bought some Worldwide Nutrition Pure Protein RTDs, each containing 35 grams of protein, for $0.68
Therefore, two of those RTDs would give me 70 grams of protein (nearly the same amount as a dozen eggs) for $1.38, nearly a quarter LESS than a dozen eggs at the price you cited.
18 eggs for $1.80? That's 108 grams of protein. However, thanks to the markdowns at GNC, the Monster Milk MRPs are on sale for $1.17 each (which drops to $0.94 each with the Gold Card). Two of those is 100 grams of protein for $1.88.
*Laughing With Ya, Not At Ya* You tickled me with this post bro. I didn't know you would break it down so eloquently, not that there is anything wrong with it. I just got tickled at your zeal to prove your point. I like that in a person.
I was wrong about the price. I just got back from Walmart, and the eggs are dirt cheap. Dozen jumbo right at $1.60. The 18'teens were $1.80. Keep in mind too, that the jumbo's usually are anywhere from 7-9 grams per. Also keep in mind, I am use to drinking a quart per post workout. I used to be hefty, if you will.
Anyway, I'm still laughing, again you tickled the dickens out of me with this post.
P.S.
With those new prices I just cited, what would be the difference now. Can you give grams of protein, and money if ya don't mind. I can see that you have that kind of mind and would love to break it down. Also, wouldn't the quality of the product be in subjection? For instance, I'm thinking that all these vendors are trying to make products last longer, which would require them to do things to their products which would be a detriment to the human body. What's your take on that. *still chuckling*.
