    Protein Trick

    For those of you that are having trouble affording protein all the time, here is what i did.

    I went to GNC and got some Whey Protein...Took it home, dumped it out into my own container and poured Flour and Cocoa back into the original container. I took it back to GNC and told them that i got the wrong kind and just exchanged it for a new one. Worked like a charm

    I weighed it out on my scale as well.


    I am going to the Grocery store tonight were they sell NLarge2 and doing the same thing tonight.

    Hope this helps.

    Who cares. I think it's a pretty clever idea actually. GNC prices suck anyways and they like to rip their customers off so why not rip them off once in a while.

    I'm not saying it's right to do it all the time, but here and there is fine because when you're paying $85 fukin dollars for a 4.4 lb of Pro Complex, I don't care what anyone says, that's just absurd!!!

    I have to say that's a pretty pathetic thing to do.

    Oh well, what comes around goes around, karma finds everyone.
