The Cheap Whey Thread

[mgil]

Myprotein is doing a 50% off sale and modernwisdom stack's 40% off of that.

Aye!

Thanks for this! I went ahead and got a couple of kilos of whey isolate and a half kilo of the clear stuff.

(my) Costco has ON Gold Standard for $15 off right now, so $49 for 5.64lbs, 24g P per scoop.

Appreciate the heads-up. My Costco's running the same sale.

Once I finish my current bag, I'll find out if the S'mores flavor tastes like ass (in a bad way).

It's good.

I’m not sure if this counts, but I just discovered that Costco sells their own protein bars that have 21g of protein and 10g of fiber per bar. They remind me of those old Powerbars, and I think they’re copies of Quest(?) bars although I’ve never had one of those. A box of 20 bars was $20.99, which seems like a good deal for 21g of protein and 10g of fiber per serving. Only 2g of saturated fat, too, I think.

Costco protein bars are life. It’s a go-to travel food.
Make sure you drink plenty of water if you’re having more than one in a day, though…

Quest(?) bars...

They're horrible. The cookies and cream flavor is probably better than the rest, in my opinion, but good god they're hell to get through.

Totally worth the bulk price, though.

Yeah, I can see that…

I got the chocolate with peanut butter chunks in it. I don’t know that I’d say they’re good, but they’ll suffice for my needs.

Maybe Exodus should come up with a protein bar that has 20+ grams of whey, 10+ of fiber, is actually tasty, and costs less than $2 per bar.

I get the chocolate and chocolate chip Costco flavors. I like that they are not too tasty - it helps me not eat the whole box right away. The price and macros work though

This^^. They're now my protein bar of choice for the macros and price alone.

I may have to give them a try.

I'm always down for cheap protein, but not sure if I can go back to Quest (I have one left at the bottom of my pandemic stash bin, and I always pretend I don't see it when I go digging for something).

Coincidentally the Pure Protein bars are on sale at Costco too. Those are pretty good. Not as good with macros as the Kirkland once, but taste much better
Though I should probably start working on getting more fiber. The only fruits my kids eat any more are strawberries (such a pain) or grapes (I have a serious grape aversion, that's the only fruit I had growing up so I hate them now) so my fruit intake has been bad.
