    How much does it cost for one of your cycle?

    I was wondering how much does it cost for one of your cycles (AAS and PCT). Thanks.

    1) there are no price discussions on this board..please read the rules

    2) you have to figure alot more than steroid cost into a proper cycle. You not only have the steroids themselves along with an AI, HCG and PCT but then you also have the added extra cost of food. Eating clean is vital to gains and it is not cheap to eat well. Then you have supplements, vitamins, gym membership and so on. Bottom line is it's expensive and if $ is an issue you should reconsider.

    The good thing is that it's all tax deductable as a hobby expense

    Let me put it to you this way. My food cost are 5 x higher a week than what it cost to run aas.
    But with out the food you can't gain on the juice.
    Useless if your not eating enough. And to maintain after cycle you have to eat the same or more for ever.
    Not cheap.

    My first test 500 cycle will cost me less than my food budget for 3 days (being a college kid, my food budget is pretty tight). Thats for PCT, AI, and the test + needles and sterile wipes

    Buy raw, not prepared and its at least 10x cheaper. Of course I am lucky enough to have a friend with a bunch of cooking supplies, so I didn't need to set up a kitchen. Even buying chemistry supplies is probably cheaper than buying prepared.

    Despite the fact that we cannot discuss price on the open forum, it doesn't really matter because prices vary wildly depending on source, brand, compound, dose, etc. And in my experience, the ancilliaries cost at least as much as the gear. PM me if you want a little more info about prices.

    As others have pointed out, food costs will make the cost of a cycle seem insignificant.

    I'm currently changing my diet because I wasn't satisfied with the gains from my cycle. I spent 153$ on groceries yesterday and that won't last me more than about 10 days or so. And of course raw and unprepared, what did you think? Microwave dinners?? Lol

    you need to find a cheaper store. i was running 6000cals easily on approx 70euros a week from the popular supermarkets, and Ireland is an expensive place to live, infact its one of the most expensive countries around.

    you must be eating lobster and caviare

    eating can be done alot more efficiently and cheaper if you put your mind to it. oats = 1e a bag which lasts 3 days, rice cakes 1e per pack a day. all i use for carbs, why waste money on anything else? oats are top of the list for carb intake, you wont get a better source

    place in lucan gives you a slab, dont know the exact name, but you get 15 good sized steaks when you chop it up, 50euro for striploin or 65 for fillet, 40 i think for pork, 10 chicken breasts for 10euro, 30eggs about 4euro

    similar place in blanch and ballymount aswell

    go to a supermarket and you easily pay 2-3x's those prices, ya know yourself

    is that from a butcher or supermarket? wvwn majority of butcher will do 10 chicken breast for 10 and fillet for 5, if you get to know them and go weekly then they usually do you a deal which wont be advertised..........

    i know what you mean, but it all depends where you go, i hear people moaning about price of food, i ask where they shop, they say superquinn or m&s

    ce la vie

    I spend a bloody fortune on food. Seems that in my city, food prices have increased by about 75% in the last 10 years. My grocery bill for one week is $200, and that often doesn't include dinners, which I buy fresh one or two days before I prepare. SO sometimes $300 /week on food. And I'm not eating fancy stuff. Shaved turkey breast, pork chops, chicken breast, fish fillets, yogurt, granola, multi-grain cereal, oats, fruit, whole wheat bread, bagels, cheese, ground beef, eggs & milk, almonds. That's about all I buy and I get slapped with a $200 bull for one week of that for 1(one) person. Craziness.

    Damn sprouts must be expensive! That 150 at Ralphs with my club card should sustain my 2900 cal/day for at least a week! I have a Costco card, don't know why I don't use it.

    Actually I take that back,.that 150 didn't include the 50 i spent on chx breast and tilapia filets a few days before

    Actually, steel cut oats are better than regular. Google up a comparison to see for yourself. Lower gi, higher fiber a few other benefits that I can't recall right now.

    Bag of fresh organic cherries here, maybe 1/4 pound. $13. I go through two of those per week. Couple bunches of bananas, blueberries, raspberries, apples. I didn't realize that fruits were so much more expensive here...

    Hmm, my 12 month average on food is 838 dollars and I don't eat out, have a wife and a 2 year old.

    It's all the choice steak, pork, and other nice meats, everything else is cheap as I don't buy prepared food. I eat a lot more than your average person.

    Still though testosterone is dirt cheap in comparison, along with all the other supporting drugs. You can go to ARR to get an idea of prices on PCT products and such, and ai for on cycle. But HCG and Test or other compounds you run you will need to do some more research, actually if you go to steroids .com it has some general prices on what you can expect to pay for various compounds.

    Numerous articles found via a simple google search disagree with you. Please post your source.

    Fruits were much cheaper when I was in LA. In Canada now. The only ripe fruits currently in a local market are the ones listed above. Plus pears.
