I just plain cant afford GNC, and meat, nuts, and veggies are getting expensive. I'm cutting right now, and so I'm looking for some protein supplements, but prices are crazy everywhere I've found.

Does anyone have some websites for absolute cheapest protein? I looked at "trueprotein.com" and while they had a good selection, their prices didn't seem much better than GNC.

I want to make protein bars out of whatever I get, and I've yet to find a protein powder I haven't liked the taste of so I'm not worried about flavor, either. I'd really like to buy something in bulk, like 10 or 20 pounds. Any suggestions?

I get my protein at costco, EAS brand

$30 for 6 lbs.

Whey/Soy/Casein blend

The chocolate flavor is crap, but the vanilla is good and I just mix the vanilla with Ghiradelli Unsweetened Baking chocolate if I want chocolate.

Sure it's got soy in it which is supposed to be bad, but I've realized amazing results using only this brand of protein.

You looking for whey or a blend?

The only thing I could find in a quick google search (in bulk) was American Sports Nutrition's 25lb tub for $130....but I'm guessing you would rather have a protein blend....Seems like $6-$8 per pound is the going rate for a good blend...

This should be an interesting thread though...

I used to get Costcos EAS whey, good stuff for sure. Then I moved to a place devoid of Costcos :blank:

Digital Nebula ~ I was hoping to buy various kinds to make my own blend. 10 lbs whey, 10 lbs miceller casien, maybe some egg or hemp protien :tucool:

Also, can anyone recommend a good recipe for a protein bar that is ero or very low carb?

Best prices I was able to find - http://www.worldclassnutrition.com

Bargain whey - 10 lbs for $40, and casien 4lbs for $49.

Nice. Be sure to post your recipe when you are satisfied with the results...:nod:

go to wal-mart, get body fortress. $13.99 for 2 lbs.

True Protein (http://www.trueprotein.com/Default.aspx) already does that.

I looked at "trueprotein.com" and while they had a good selection, their prices didn't seem much better than GNC.

They're pretty expensive, unfortunately. When I have more money to spare, I'll probably be shopping at true protein pretty often :)
