Protein powde v.whatbrand
|
Like usual, I wait until I am completely out before ordering more so i'm sitting here figuring out what to buy.
I always buy ON Whey but it seems like every time I go to stock up the price has gone up, seems ridiculous right now at $79.99CAN for a 5lb. tub.
Are there any other well respected brands that I can trust that have a decent whey blend that isn't crazy expensive?

Hmm, never thought about buying protein powder at costco. I don't have a membership but my parents do.
Just checked costco.ca, they only list maximus, weider and dynawhey as they brands available, not sure if it is different in stores.

BJ's does a 5 lb bag of EAS Whey for $35. 150cal, 2g fat, 7g carb, 26g protein, 6.3g BCAA in a 39g serving (2 small scoops).
Tasty, but it might not be a big enough protein dose for the heavier lifters in this bunch.

I have been buying ON from bb.com for years, price has gone up 10 bucks in the last year or so but you can always get a 10% off your order coupon for bb.com so it's like 100 bucks which isn't bad for 10 lbs. shipping isnt much and its fast

Do you get nailed for taxes or any brokerage fees? They don't charge tax at checkout.
Edit - looks like they do charge tax when I go to pay.
Thanks for the heads up, $145 after exchange for 10lbs compared to $90.xx for 5lbs from amazon. Hopefully amazon cancels my order now.

Yeah they'll add on your provincial tax but no brokerage or fees on delivery.
10% off coupons are usually listed on here or you can find one by googling, few bucks off helps

Thanks, i'll bookmark that for next time, I had found one for $5 off $100 before I ordered.
Don't think there are BJ's up here, never see them when I search "supplements canada" on google

They have another brand that's about $8 cheaper. GFR Leanfit. I buy both, but just use the LeanFit for shakes or oatmeal.

I'll have to look into the costco brand for next time.
I stopped in at the nutrition place in town on my way home from work today, I couldn't believe their prices, better than every single online Canadian supplement place. 5lb of ON whey was $65, it's $79 everywhere online. $110 for the 10lb. bag which I just bought at BB.com and will end up costing me more after shipping/exchange.

Stick with Optimum Nutrition, they are serious about quality and test their product. Health Canada has a little known program that licenses natural health products after they pass their testing. It is a good resource to check out(even Americans) when buying supplements.
Here's the info:

Here's the actual test results for ON Whey:

Trutein is amazing, Lewis got me on that train.
lately I've purchased the 10lbs Jugs of SNI from DPS Nutrition for $70 shipped. Cannot go wrong for the price, IMO.

Trutein is pricey.
ON Gold Standard is pricey
-I rock Cellucor COR whey since it always seems to be on sale.
-Muscletech has a new platinum line thats on sale iirc at bb.com
-Labrada is on sale too. Lean pro 8 is delicious. I think it's b2g1 right now
-BPI may still be on sale. Tasty too
