Wow WTF happened to the price of protien powder?

[WildBillyT]

I've been buying ON 100% Whey GS in the 10 lb bags for about 2 years now, and it's always been about $55 a bag. Now all of the sudden there is a "protein shortage" and it's up to $75 a bag! Anybody know if the price bump is just temporary or not?

[Tsar]

um..its not 75 bucks online...

Check out the 10 lb bag. Vitamin World is a hair cheaper now, but it's still not $55.

July. I usually buy a couple of bags at a time to save on shipping costs. I realize that I might be late to the party and the price may have gone up a while ago, but I'm just seeing it now.

they are saying whey is becoming scarce....the local shops around here have doubled the price..2lb tub used to be 17$ its now 35$

[98tadriver]

i paid 62.00 for my last 10lb bag of the same stuff at dynamic fitness in vineland nj south of most of yall. also, ANATOR P70 is like $30.00 cheaper at dynamic , instead of going to GNC and spending $90.00+ for it

[jims69camaro]

if it works for gas, why shouldn't it work for whey protein?

[IROCdan330]

Ron where the f is dynamic fitness? what road?

www.dpsnutrition.com is what ive been using for the past couple months, i order there all the time unless its gold card week at GNC. Ground shipping comes in 2 days which is sweet...

unfortuneately Pro-NOS whey is exclusive to GNC right now...and that is the goooooooood ****, but its also 45 bucks for a 3lb tub that has 20 servings or so in it. I generally take advantage of the BOGO half off deals..

[WildBillyT]

Eh, I try to avoid GNC. Even with sales and gold card discounts their prices come out high. I usually only hit there to get an RTD or something in a pinch.

gnc=overpriced..plus the fact everytime you walk in they try to push muscletech products on you

the only way to buy GNC is buy one, get one half off with the 20% discount...if you do the math it equates to just about every wholesale company you can find as far as 5 lb tubs and such are concerned.

they push muscletech products because thats one of the only companies that pays a decent commission when they sell it.

[Squirrel]

thats why i bought 15 pounds before the 'shortage', cuz it was projected that it would happen and i got in in time :)...creatine and test booster prices didnt go up though;)

[Tsar]

someone share the "shortage" news with me, apparently I'm out of the loop :shrug: news probably didn't get to PA yet...

10 not 5

[Knipps]

10 not 5

that's a 5lb container

[WildBillyT]

Yeah, guys, I'm talking about the 10 pound BAG being up $20. Not a container. It's interesting that two 5 lb cans are cheaper than a 10 lb bag. So much for a volume discount.

[Tsar]

that's a 5lb container
yes and we are talking about 10 pound BAGS here, not 5 lbs containers. i was the first one to make that mistake in the beginning of the thread.

yea the stuff works but i just refuse to buy there products because of the crazy claims they make

Yeah, I was just pointing out the outrageous difference in price. My bad though, should have made that clear.

All good man, it's a price increase across the board.

I don't really care for MuscleTech's stuff because it seems overpriced for what you get, they make outlandish claims through huge advertisements, and this: http://www.chapter15.com/bin/chapter15_view_company?cid=1137663608

If they are in financial trouble they have to be cutting corners somewhere, and I can't help but think that their product quality has to have gone down.
