    uhhh... cost of protein

    So, when did the cost of 10lbs of ON Whey go from like $45-50 to now $65-70, and why did this happen, I am confused.

    Its happening everywhere bro. Supply and demand is a killer. Go stand in GNC or Walmart for an hour, you'll see 100 people looking at protein supplements that don't even know what they're taking it for. They just know the big guy at the gym drinks it.

    For any Canadians looking to buy some quasi-bulk quantities of ON, a Canadian site is having a sale...Four 5 pound tubs at 39.99 each, free shipping..not too sure when the sale ends. For Canada, that isn't too bad at all.

    And I know some people love the ON...pm me for the link if anyone is interested.

    could not have said it better, everyone is getting more health conscious and if they see a big ripped guy at the gym drinking a protein drink, monkey see monkey do... even though 99% of them wont even use it cause it doesn't taste like a mars bar. I've seen a 300lbs fat ass buy a weight gainer because the guy said it was the one that tasted the best...

    Someone I was just talking to showed me this site which will "5% pricematch" the competition. I havent tried this out, but he said he has done it several times and has never had a problem. So I suppose you could get it even 5% off the best price you find, and they match free shipping...so its really 5% better than any price you find. Using the above link as a match would bring 10lbs down to about $57 total. Im going to have to try this out. If anyone does before me, let us know how it works out for you. Hope I helped someone.

    Spending a few extra bucks and getting BSN products is well worth it IMO....

    I have used this web site numerous times. The only problem is that it takes forever to get your products. If you have sometime to wait you will save money.
