The price of whey seems to have skyrocketed in recent weeks. Have any of you tried pea protein? A 7-pound tub from NOW is just $50 on Amazon. I typically mix unflavored whey into my morning oatmeal with nuts and berries. I wonder if unflavored pea would work. I think I'll give it a try.

Everything is getting more expensive, whey, creatine, bars, plates..!

I managed to grab some good Black Friday deals though. €35 for 1 tub of 2kg whey (bought 4kg), and 1.2kg creatine for €74. Should last me a good while.

FRIDAY55 is the Black Friday code for MyProtein. 55% off everything.

F#^€£
I just put in an order with the 50% DEAL code.
I might get another bag tomorrow and see if the 20% I got for a slower shipping rate stacks.

I did even worse. I placed an order last night at 7:57pm with the 50% off deal. At 8:00pm I received the email with the 55% off code.

£92 pre-discount for a 2.5kg bag of whey protein from MyProteinUK. WTAF? Seems they've now discontinued the 5kg bags too.

Last summer I was paying £45 for a 5kg bag. Crazy.

It's cheaper just to buy the 25g protein yoghurts from Lidls/ Aldis now.

The MyProtein 50% off price is more expensive per g Protein than the ON Gold Standard at Costco.

Not a brag or anything. Mostly just very annoyed with Myprotein's deceptive pricing.

@Allentown How much is your Costco whey? It’s like $70 here

What's the general consensus on soy based protein powder?

There's a brand doing 4kg/ 8.8lb tubs for £33 on Amazon.

Seemingly the amino acid profile isn't as great (less leucine per unit)...

$63.99 right now. Which is less than 120 servings of the MyProtein Impact. Which only has 19g of P.

And anyways, I was mostly pointing it out because that is the "50% OFF!" price from MyProtein. To be totally honest, fuck them any more. I'm not going to support a business that constantly changes their "prices" and just cuts it back down with assorted fake "sales" to bring it back to their normal actual everyday price.

I fucking hate them so much.

Even when they were still the best price around if you got a good code, i always did the math at checkout, and not rarely the actual discount would be less than their stated discount onsite.

Last time i bought anything from them was after they sent me a "Pesronalized" 55% discount code.
Sure enough it only came to 50% at checkout.

Finally decided to write to/message them, saying how many hundreds of dollars i had spent each year, etc...
The words "Bait and switch" were definitely included in my message.

Eventually they did send me a 55% off code that actually came to 55% off, and i bought come creatine.

Now their creatine is $110 a kilo.
Fuck outta here with that shit.

Yeah. I think I might be done too. A little peri-poop spreadsheetery leads me with this table of my biggest protein sources, with ON whey thrown in comparison. The results are not what you think…
I’m very budget-minded, so I might be maximizing pork loin freezer space for when it’s on sale.

Source	Protein grams /$1
$2/lb Chicken breast	46
$3/lb Chicken breast	30.67
Myprotein concentrate	34.29
ON protein	30
NF greek yogurt	20.22
$2/lb Pork loin	51
$3/lb Pork loin	34
$3/lb Top round	35.5
$4/lb Top round	26.63

I was actually making a spreadsheet for this a couple days ago. Looking at walmart prices here in south Florida BLSL breasts and whole chicken are at $1.30 per 40g of protein, skin on thighs $1.14 and both 80/20 ground beef (5# tube) and pork loin (Smithfield) is $1.85. XL Eggs being $1.43.

ON Gold 10# from Amazon is $1.77/40p and Myprotein impact 200 servings is $2/40p not on sale.

lol the slower shipping discount isn't sent until 2 weeks after the initial order was placed, and it expires in a month. And it doesn't appear to stack with their usual "SHOP40" or "FUCKU40" codes.

I sure hate MyProtein, but my frugality is stronger than my pride.

What’s good out there for clean whey isolate that doesn’t taste awful?

Just out of curiosity, what've you been using previously?

I had been using this stuff:

Muscle Feast Grass-Fed Whey Protein Isolate, All Natural Hormone Free Pasture Raised, Chocolate, 2lb (37 Servings) https://a.co/d/2IjOdXC

Myprotein is doing a 50% off sale and modernwisdom stack's 40% off of that.

Fucking awesome.

Thanks for this.

ETA: I ordered 55 pounds of protein for $343 shipped. That is by far the cheapest I've gotten it in a long time. Should be about enough to last a year.
