I am cheap. I don't like paying for things like protein powder at all, and definitely chafe at the idea of full price. It's $85 USD for 3.5lbs in Nicaragua where I am most of the time. Which is just something purchased in the US and shipped in with a massive import tax. I buy in the US and ship it to my inlaws' house, and stuff the bags in the luggage when I fly back. So it's not so much expectations as I am cheap. Protein Factory used to sell unflavoued whey isolate $19.95 for 5 pounds, being old enough to remember those prices doesn't help.GlasgowJock wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 2:25 amWe probably have different tolerances/ expectations for what we consider to be 'too expensive' as I'm in the UK.Hardartery wrote: ↑Sat Nov 20, 2021 7:37 amThey have already done two of those, another one starting today, and briefly there was a 60%.

If I can get a 5kg bag of protein for £40-45 (typically ~60% off), it's a good day for me. Just waiting for some influencer (probably Eddie Hall) to fire up a 60% discount next week.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
They close well enough.
I just close them, then fold them down and use a bog office clip.
But i also use a couple of wide top, screw top plastic tubs and fill those for actual use day to day.
Never have i ever...
had any clumping in the main bags.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
lol
I drink a lot of chock full o nuts coffee from Costco and I like to reuse the containers for stuff
I have three in the cupboards with different color tape on them for my protein: that way I can have a choice without dominating the cabinets with multiple 11 pound bags.
I’m not psyched about paying $72 a bag, but here we are…

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
Bloody hell, went on the MYP website just to have a gander at the prices lately. They've increased a 5kg bag from £90.99 earlier this year (June) to £142.99 pre-discount
How the f*** can they justify a £50+ increase in the space of several months in the UK.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
slickdeals.net coming through with another code
Three 2.2lb bags isolate for $32
My assumption is you can order multiples of three, but i'm not using this one, so haven't verified that.
Fwiw, set up a free account at slickdeals.net, and make a keyword alert for myprotein and get these sporadic one off codes in your email.
This is how i got 11lb bags for $45 order before last.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
GOATVIP 60% off. Free shipping
11lb bag of concentrate still comes out to $63.99 with their price hikes.
In the recent past, $57 or so was my best normal discount.
I ordered up in late September or early Oct with 55% off and got it at $58 a bag.
In any case, this is now.
**
God they are c***s
Was going to get another bag of creatine, applied the code, was congratulated my order qualified for free shipping, then at checkout only $5.49 shipping was an option.
I'll wait till i have a larger order.
Just opened this bag anyway.

That's pretty sh***y of them. They should be sending you freebies for all the stuff you buy and business that you have sent their way.Wilhelm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 7:26 pm GOATVIP 60% off. Free shipping

Another way my Costco membership is gold. 5.5 lb bags of Optimum Nutrition whey for $49 or so.
Costco: for when I need new tires, 7 lbs of cereal, and dynamite.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
They are bellends. Massively inflated the price of their whey recently and now they have the audacity to announce 'up to 80% off!!' today as if those who regularly buy from them didn't observe their ridiculous price hike prior to black Friday.Wilhelm wrote: ↑Sun Nov 28, 2021 7:26 pm GOATVIP 60% off.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
No kidding, £169 for a 5kg bag of isolate???????? They briefly had 60% off so grabbed 10kg at an okay price. God help anyone that actually ends up paying the full £169 for a bag of fucking whey.GlasgowJock wrote: ↑Mon Nov 29, 2021 2:20 am They are bellends.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
Well it’s pretty much all over. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
My myprotein order is being delivered by a courier called “skynet”.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
The price of Creatine has apparently gone through the roof.
Looking at my Amazon history, it went from $20/kilo to $70. Bulk supplements, myprotein, dymatize, optimum nutrition…. No one’s selling it for cheap (as far as I can find).
I might have to go natty if this keeps up.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
Not sure how it would work out now, but the last kilo i bought from MyProtein with a discount code came to about $30broseph wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:00 am The price of Creatine has apparently gone through the roof.

"List" was about $50
Still well up from the $20 i was paying from bulk supplements with no code earlier.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
It’s 70 a kg at my protein but frenzy35 gets you 35% off…
I’m still working through a kilo I bought years ago and never took.

Re: The Cheap Whey Thread
At this point some post-workout like the BBM or Outwork that have creatine in them seem like a better value than before...broseph wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 6:00 am The price of Creatine has apparently gone through the roof.

I see Body Fortress Whey Protein (Chocolate) selling for $17 for 2 pounds on Amazon (sold by AmazonFresh).
It contains a lot of stuff I don't want, but 2 servings has 400 kcal, 60 grams of protein, and 3 grams of creatine.
