Costco now carries decent protein!

[5151]

I went in to pick up some things the other day and walked through the supplement section and noticed 4.4lbs whey isolate for $45. 30 grams of PRO a scoop with only .5 CHO per scoop. The taste on the stuff is decent as well. Last time I checked for protein there all they carried was the EAS WPC which was reminiscent of a kick to the mouth and bowels all at once.

[St]

Good to know.

[wrought]

yeah, they're carrying Kaizen isolate around here, Bill Kazmaier's company. Got some last month and its not too bad.

[fathead]

in van they have kaizen as well. personally dont like it and never found cosctos prices on supplements worthwhile

i was also surprised to see flats of myoplex shakes (the mini cartons) for a really decent price last time i was there, id bet its a short term thing as they bought a bunch up for cheap through a middle man. wish i used them lol

[The Terminator]

Yes! I've been using this stuff for a month and I swear, it's one of the best finds ever. It was 42.99 here I believe, and it mixes smooth in a shaker and tastes great!

Matt :D

EAS whey (must be low-grade whey protein) is now sold at Wal-mart as well. 2.2 lb for $23. That's quite expensive for that sort of brand.

If anyone orders alot like me check out TrueProtein.com if you haven't heard of it. ZeOne told me about these guys. You can design your own protein, it's contents, sweetners etc. And it's super cheap considering...

I just built a 20 pound order of soy protein built how I like it, Strawberry-Banna and here's the cost shipped to me in Canada:

Sub-Total: $94.81
Discount: - $4.74
Shipping: $37.99
Tax: $7.68
Grand Total: $135.74

$135 US for 20 LBS of your custom soy protein to your door. I should also note, that shipping for 15 pounds was $34, and only a $3 increase in shipping to up it to 20 lbs.

Something to look at I guess in case you haven't heard of them. I pay about $115 after tax for 10 LBS at SND Canada, so i'm saving about $80-90 an order.

[Big D]

wow that truly a great deal, I usualy spend 160$ every 2 weeks on sndcanada,

[The Terminator]

Mmmm...soy protein...

I'll wait till there's more conclusive evidence about it not affecting estrogen levels in males.

You can change it to Whey if you want its not that much more. ( actually only $.38 cents more per pound to go to Whey Protein Concentrate )

Costco still has them beat. 10 bucks a pound for flavoured whey isolate is without a doubt the cheapest I have found. The next closest would be buying larger amounts from wheydepot however why wait for it to be shipped?

[D-S]

I order from trueprotien as well...I dont use as much powder tho, love my LBA's!!

[fathead]

i cant comment on true proteins products as ive never gone through with an order, i know people like them though.

the price isnt as great as youre making it out to be in my opinion. I priced out an order for a high quality whey and by the time it was delivered etc it was what i pay at my local supp shop (where i get a discount... but who doesnt).

Im happier to be able to walk in and get it when i want it rather than have to order online and wait. again, perhaps the quality is THAT much better, i dont know, but i do buy good stuff locally.

and gsx- why on earth are you using soy protein? unless you have an allergy or are a vegetarian i see no point man. plus soy isnt good for men

[gsxr750]

I didn't know, I just thought it was cheaper and maybe taste like ass but would use it. I changed my order. Thanks for the heads up

did you get the e-mail today they have some sort of WPC for under 4 bucks a pound apparently

[tex]

you guys like the kaizen stuff?? I had to buy a bottle because i ran out before my order arrived and i thought i was gonna die when i drank it......thought it tasted like dumpster juice

[gsxr750]

Haha agreed. Some of it tasted foul. But their products seem to deliver. The ephedrine they make rock me, more than any other brand ive tried. :)

That isolate protein has been in vancouver costco off and on for the last year or so , although it says European Whey Isolate, i havent taken a good look at the label but it could be a good find

surprised you never bought any???? as cheap is your middle name. i have you on my list of people that think stores should make $1-2 profit on everything they sell.

[gsxr750]

Zinggggg

[Thechamp]

How are EAS products?

[IronRobi]

I was looking at the cosco stuff today. Didn't look all that appealing to me. Was $45 for 5lbs of something I've never seen or heard of before... I've been buying 5lbs of cytosport whey at gnc for under $40 for months now. The stuff mixes with ease and tastes great too.

Cytosport is now owned by Iovate (Muscletech guys). :lick

Are you sure cytosport 5lbs is under 40$ at GNC? Because over here at Gnc cytosport is over 50$for 5lbs. I agree Cytosport does taste good.

[5151]

wpc and wpi are not the same thing and should be cheaper

[IronRobi]

At our GNC it is at least. It's a "sale" that they're going to keep running until it stops selling so well.

[Freebsd1977]

Or until they run out of supply. IOvate is forcing the sale and soon we're gonna have muscletech products where the cytosport stuff used to be. :moon

[IronRobi]

wait wait.... does this mean no more muscle milk??? :(

[5151]

wait wait.... does this mean no more muscle milk??? :(

we can only hope

Possible or maybe a name change: Muscletech MilkTECH! :p

[Blue Hefner]

You mean Cytodyne, now called Cytogenix, not Cytosport.

Thats an amazing website. I've always been looking for a powder out there with no sweetners, and to not have to purchase monohydrate seperately; excellent and time saving.

[tiramisu]

I appreciate the convenience of Protein powders and do use em but I try pretty hard to eat real food. While in weight gain mode 2 or 3 litres of milk a day is a whole lot cheaper.

But Arnold told me milk is for babies :confused:;)

[The Brick]

Tried the kaizen isolate from costco as well. Good stuff IMO.

the price sure is right. The taste got to me after a while but it's about 30-40 bucks cheaper than what you're paying in a GNC for an isolate.

Yes it is haha.

Ya i liked the chocolate one, mixed well enough. The price seems too good to be true for an isolate though, thats for sure

[5151]

theres chocolate?!?!?! im missing out, only vanilla when i checked.

[The Brick]

Yes, the choc is really good. Does seem to be too good to be true, but kaizen is a fairly dependable brand, no?

[dainbramaged]

If I'm not mistaken, I think it turns out to be around 85% protein per scoop. I believe a pure isolate is about 90% (give or take a couple of percentage points). Still, overall, it's not a bad product. Especially if one were to get it on sale. Even about $45 for 4.4lbs isn't too bad comparatively speaking.

[Descimus]

damn costco they changed their brand of chicken for their freakin kirkland as for protein guy definitly check for true protein bland, use it without the vitamin addition kinda give a aftertaste. You really get what you are paying for.

They still have the old brand in the bags just the boxes are only kirkland, at least that's the way it is at the costco here anyway.

[L3]

i find their vanilla isolate with the lime green lable waaaaaaaaaay too sweet i much preffer the cheapo non iso

no more lilydale here either. I picked up a couple packs of the kirkland breasts hope they are half as good as the lilydales

Ya they don't seem to stocking them anymore. It was a good deal though most supplement stores charge like $10-11 for a 4 pack. I also noticed safeway is carrying these as well. But that place is the biggest rip off ever for supp. like $3.50 for a 15g detour bar!

[PUMPON]

Was there again today they now have bags of eas whey protein too 6lbs for like $40 not a bad deal!

[ubcpower]

--Update--
So i went to the local Costco yesterday and they are now carrying the KAIZEN 100% Whey Isolate protein for 35.99 for 4.4lbs....now from what i have seen this has to be the cheapest whey isolate on the market. Ive done a full read of the nutrition label and everything appears to be right on....am i missing something with this product?

[Dryvrgrl]

Kaizen is canadian... might have something to do with why they are cheaper... not too sure.

we use about 75% Kaizen protein... just the normal cheap stuff.. They sponsor Little Leigh...I don't totally understand the whole science behind iso vs whey thing (fast digestion bla blah bla... I just start tuning it out)... but it seems to work just fine... kinda get sick of the limited flavours, but thats jsut me.

I"m using it too..the flavour problem can be solved by adding Chrystal Light. The orange Chrystal Light one makes the vanilla taste like an orange Cream Sickle.

[Dryvrgrl]

AH!!! FC.. great minds think alike!! lol (cherry pomagranite is nice with vanilla too!!)

[GYMBRAT]

just picked up a jug from Costco the other day, the prices are definitely right
