Hey everyone,

Quick question for the lifters and gym pros out there,

I'm looking for some solid, reliable online shops for protein and supplements. Did a quick search on Google and found about ten different options, ranging from local spots to places in the USA or even the UK.

Which ones would you actually vouch for if I want decent prices and high-quality stuff?

Cheers,
Arthur Stewart3

I used to grab everything from Myprotein, but man, they’ve gone and jacked up their prices through the roof.

A 5lb tub of protein used to run me about $45, but now it's closer to $167. Honestly, what a joke.

I'm looking for some alternatives myself. Anyone know where I can shop without getting totally ripped off?

A friend suggested I check out GNC. Their selection looks solid and the prices seem decent enough, so I haven't really bothered looking elsewhere.

Fair enough. I'm actually looking at their site right now.

How's their shipping?

Everything is great except maybe the vanilla flavor.😁

But it is what it is...

Ordered Saturday afternoon, just got an email from UPS this morning saying they have the package. Free shipping on orders over $100.

From what I can see, everyone in the States is hiking up their prices lately, plus some shops have dropped Myprotein from their lineup entirely.

You aren't gonna find cheap 5lb bags locally... unless you know someone with a hookup. If you order online in bulk, though, you can snag massive discounts that make the price per pound way lower than buying small amounts. But I guess that doesn't cross the mind of your average user if they aren't running a side hustle or reselling stuff.

So, what's the consensus on buying from Bodybuilding.com? Specifically for the target supplements?

Bodybuilding.com is pretty pricey...

Maybe check out a protein outlet shop; they can be decent sometimes...
