Im sure theres 100's of these threads per day but I need a general consensus please! So im pretty much broke, and looking for a 5lb or ~60 serving tub of protein for a DECENT price(decent is under 53$ shipped in my book...) I dont want to pay $30 for 2lbs and yes i know you get what you pay for.

Im wondering if there's any current deals out right now.. I just got a PES insider email this morning but wasnt sure where to order that from to get the price, or if the sale is even on anymore! So for anybody who helps me id be extremely grateful to you as im struggling to find some decent stuff right now. I have like 1/4 tub of XF left :(

If you got the insider it's like 38 bucks or something like that for 55 servings...even with shipping it's still within your budget. Click the link in the email, you can order direct from pes.

That insider was a steal for sure. If you didn't get it the 5lb syntha-6 is around your price shipped (also free to shirt- just put am username in instructions)

I know it has some added aminos but I really enjoy the vanilla taste. Top 5 taste wise for me.

BUT STILL LOOKING FOR MOAR. wanna make sure im set for my first semester of college. otherwise this long bulk is gonna turn into a short one with 0 access to quality protein.

Good to hear you jumped on the Select train. Insider deal for Select is a must for the price!

tried a 1/2 serving of cookies n cream a few months back when you guys handed out free samples so im excited to see what this does for me :) I like to do a lot of The_Solution -esque baking with powders so im real excited to try!
SAN Titanium Whey is pretty well priced for a lot of servings.
This is a close second choice and i still may end up getting a tub... ive found it a few places for $47 for 75 servings and then additional shipping but even thats only about $0.73/serving

If you're broke, don't buy anything. I'm broke also and that means no supplements. If I want protein I'll eat eggs or tuna. Protein powder is a luxury, not a need. Not trying to sound rude, just real.
Preach.

I have a ridiculous amount of protein powders, but I'd much rather eat my protein from food. I use one scoop of protein a day.. And I have six tubs of protein (2- 5lb and 3-2.5lbers) they're going to last forever

protein here is unrealistically expensive, steak 5.29lb chicken is 4.49, Protein powder IS cheaper that buying whole food at this point.. even canned tuna is up over $1/can, this the reason Im supplementing protein powder here. This is mainly for post workout sake and meals on the go. Cant really eat whole foods in between classes when schedules are pretty tight. its not like im living off protein powders. Trust me ive tried eating in class too.. its a good way to get on professors bad sides here..

SAN Whey is WPC-80 as far as I know, which is why it's cheap but you're gonna have to deal with possible stomach issues if you're not used to concentrate. Also, it's Glanbia sourced so you know it's quality. It's a good pricepoint when things aren't on sale, but honestly, the PES Insider Select deal is RIDICULOUSLY good, so jump on it before it ends.

Im used to all sorts of proteins, also i have an iron stomach so food rarely gives me problems. (once drank 8oz of franks red hot for a bet)

Where are you located?

Sounds like now is the time to give it a shot. IFN Brown Sugar is my favorite, but also love the vanilla to make ice cream.

I can vouch that IFN does a damn good job flavoring their proteins, some of the only ones I truly enjoy.

Their banana is one of my favorite proteins
Love both blends, really hard to go wrong with either Select or OEProtein

Banana is my least favourite but USP nailed it with the vanilla and Strawberry Cheesecake

Strawberry and Banana USP is hands down two of the best fruit flavors on the market.

Try SAN banana coconut. It's amazing IMO. Just hint of coconut and banana bombness.

There is a 4th flavor of Select that's been getting much attention lately. It's called Chocladoodle. Half chocolate half snickerdoodle! (You have to mix them yourself...sorry)

But the mix is "Chococream". 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 cookies and cream. Add a pinch or two of cinnamon and BAM!!!!
Thank me later.

If money is tight then why wouldn't you just stop buying protein powder and spend the money on actual food?

Chicken breast, chicken thighs, and eggs are all cheaper per serving then protein powder and real food is always better then protein powder

Also, I don't know where you live but if you have a job lot or any of those type of discount stores that carry random overstock stuff you can usually fine 2lb tubs of protein powder for $10-$12
