I Just Went to Order Whey Protein

[musclemom]

THE STUFF WENT UP $25!!! HOLY MOSES!!!

I've been getting my protein from All the Whey. I like an unflavored isolate, which is hard to find. I've stayed with the same company because they did refills, good for the planet (they would just send the 5 lb. in a heavy duty ziplock bag), the company is sort of local to me so I knew the product wasn't crossing the continent in a bunch of UPS trucks (bonus in the summer) and they had little things like free shipping and 10% off for return customers ...

They just lost my business. Screw them. I bought 10 lbs. of Now unflavored isolate for only a bit more than it would have cost me to buy 5 lbs, so there $75.90, after shipping.

... the $64 question: where in the hell am I gonna store all this ...

It's such a handy supplement though, makes my life so much easier, it rounds out a meal, great to grab if you're in a hurry and hungry, good before bed.

10 pounds though ... that's a bag of cat food.

10 pounds...! that's the weight of my pug ^_^

4 pounds bigger than my smallest cat ...

But I did save nearly $20 by doing it this way I'm just afraid the stuff is going to keep going up in price. It'll get used eventually. I'll just pack the extra tightly into a couple of ziplock bags, squish out the air, double bag them and cram them into the freezer.

Which reminds me, I need to put cleaning out the freezer and throwing the old stuff out into the woods on my list of things to do soon. I've got a couple of bags of mummified hot dog buns I'm sure the raccoons will appreciate.

That's a really good deal, I need to find a cheaper source, I don't have a CC to order online, but I need cheaper than 59.99 for 5lbs, jeez! I'm not exactly made of money...

Here's a link to where I got it:

100% Pure Whey Protein Isolate (Natural) from NOW on sale. Find information about NOW

I noticed (actually because it was unusual) that they WILL accept a check, you order the stuff online, they hold the stuff until the check clears. However, this is the first time I'm ordering from this company, so I can't vouch for delivery time/product condition/age. I trust the Now products (that's who made the isolate) I think they're a reputable big manufacturer, I've also heard this from a people in the supplement business, but distributors are where you run into trouble. Sometimes the reason distributors sell good stuff cheap is the shipment got stuck in a warehouse for the entire summer and everything has a funky taste to it I'll give you a review when I get the stuff .. plus I'll report back how large 10 lbs of whey is

Musclemom, why did you pick this whey product? Is there anything in particular that made this one stand out over the rest?

I like an unflavored whey isolate (that's just me) but just try finding one! I can't stand the flavored stuff. The only time I drink a flavored whey protein is when I'm out of the house and hungry and can't find anything to eat (I'm gluten intolerant, so that happens a lot more often than you'd think). I'll get a muscle milk premixed at the convenience store, it suffices, that's about it. I trust Now Supplements (that's the company name NOW Foods - the official site of NOW Foods ). I've taken their vitamins for years, and I have tried their whey isolate before, and it was fresh.

The thing with unflavored whey, if the stuff is stale or was stored improperly it can get sort of a funky flavor that you notice when drinking it in water. Normally, fresh unflavored whey isolate mixed in plain water tastes like weak skim milk.

39.00 after discount bro. Still free "priority" 3 day male shipping on all orders though. SO like MM said no sitting around on trucks the order gets to you very fast. xmas20 is a 20% sale right now. This is flavored but its also cheaper the ATW used to be and now double as cheap.
