I just restocked myself on my supplements. The first Monday and Tuesday of every month has really big sales. Also, you get buy 1 get 1 free on all Vitamin World and Precision Engineering supplements. So I ended up buying:

10 lbs of whey for 41 dollars.
1000 grams (1000 caps) of organic flax seed oil for 25
500 grams of CLA for 35

I ended up paying half price, since it was all buy 1 get 1 free, i felt good about that. I wont have to get anything for at least 4 or 5 months now.

did you get them off a website? have you got a link?

Vitamin World is a store. They have a website, you dont need a link, I am sure you could find the website for Vitamin World. I will give you a hint, its the most obvious choice.

No, i didnt order online, you would get the same prices online, but would pay the extra shipping and handling, since i have a store only 10 miles from me, i just drive down there.

The posting of links violates the TOS.

Sounds like a good deal, I have a Vitamin World about 15 minutes from me. How does the whey look though, good quality, good amino acid profile?

You make 10lbs of whey last 4 or 5 months? hehe......... I'm lucky to get 1 month out of a 10lb bag.

I mean, they are competition with them. So is Vitamin Shoppe. I guess those are the three biggest supplement chains. I think Vitamin Worlds sales, prices, and special deals are much better than GNC's though, thats just my opinion.

Out here in Hawaii, you either have about 8 GNCs or 2 VW... They have GNC on every military base out here and if you have a gold card, you can get 20% on any given day...only onbase... They are still a rip off though...

I went to a VW store once.. the guy was instantly on my nutz.... I just wanted to look around, get a feel for prices and do a little compare with GNC out here... That is what I hate about those stores, besides the prices... always pestering you... just makes me wanna go...I picked something up and the guy goes..."Oh, That stuff is good!"... I was like thinking.."Dude, you are even more of a skinny turd than the toothpick I am... so STFU...." that was at VW.. but I always think it is funny how sales associates are pushing Muscletech... crap! "Lady, you haven't worked out since Reagan was in office..."

Buying stuff online is so much better... prices and you can do research for weeks... find different products, look online for clarification on how they work, look at forums for reviews, find best prices w/ shipping, etc...

GNC is a robbery. Vitamin world marks all there prices extremely high, and they always say "ONE DAY SALE! 30% OFF!" I have been in there many times and they have those signs up everyday. They make you feel like you get a good deal, but in reality, it turns out no cheaper than GNC. Vitamin Shoppe has the cheapest prices that I have seen. At least around here that is.

wnxmaximus · #12 (**permalink**) 07-02-2007, 10:29 PM

at buy 1 get 1 free they are MUCH cheaper than GNC. 10 lbs of protein for 41, thats cheap for the internet even.

$41 for 10lbs of whey is a damn good price. The only thing I get at GNC are the Megamen multi-vitamins. For anything else I'll go through the internet or check out vitamin world, sometimes they have decent prices if you go on the first mon or tues of the month and have a card.

VBigNate · #14 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 09:07 AM

Walmart has cheap protein. I think each scoop has 5g aminos.

here is my tower of power: (the funny thing is i throw most of my stuff away, and most of the bottles on the pic have bottles stuffed inside them. lol

VBigNate · #15 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 09:10 AM

close to $1000 worth right there. Including what other bottles are nside the whey tubs.

wnxmaximus · #16 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 09:18 AM

haha, how long did it take to go through all that stuff right there.

VBigNate · #17 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 09:28 AM

Oh that isnt even half of it...That might be 5-6 months worth

body fortresas works?

dannyboy9 · #19 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 04:24 PM

What do you mean does it "work" - it's whey protein.

The better question is: does it actually absorb?

theara · #20 (**permalink**) 07-03-2007, 04:51 PM

i remember seeing powdered amino acids at wal-mart for $10. I was going to buy it but wanted to read the reviews about it. I checked the other walmarts and they didn't even have it. I might pick one up and try it after a heavy leg day to see if they're any good
