GNC.com offers 25% off Sitewide when you apply coupon code SALE25 at checkout. Shipping is just $1. Thanks Keeperpoo

This post can and should be edited by users like you :)
 

SALE25 is dead.

There's a deal going on right now where you get a free shaker bottle when you buy a boxed product (e.g. protein bars). Add this (http://www.gnc.com/product/index....Id=2542486) to your cart and you'll see the message stating as such.

click here.

Nice, about to order some..

Thanks OP, buy 1 get one half off also on the 3lb. containers of whey {edit: wheat based, not whey,my bad} Ultimate Nutrition Vanilla [gnc.com] or chocolate protein iso w/20G of protein per serving and 57 servings per container. Got 2 of them for $26.98 shipped or about only $4.50/lb. :rock:great deal!

Quest! Thanks OP! I'd rep but I need to spread apparently.

So I was looking at the Ultimate Nutrition proteins,.... they have a 100% whey that is Rum Raisin flavored?? :omg: The peach flavor may be good for mixing with water though. http://www.gnc.com/search/index.j...avor|Peach

wait for anyone suggest good thing in GNC

I tried buying this http://www.gnc.com/product/index....ickid=cart which is supposed to be 50% off the second one but when I entered the coupon code the price on the second one jumped from $37.99 to $47.99. Anyone have the same issue with the 50% off not being 50% off anymore once the coupon is entered?

Awesome deal on quest bars. Can't seem to find any cheap whey protein

Also same cnadadmo, it jumps to 47 for me too

I calculated the total discount and it comes out to be the same. So I guess no issues with the savings in terms of the 50% off jumping higher. Just weird how they would do that.

Just pointing out that the isolate you ordered is not at all a whey isolate. That is a protein made from Wheat, I'm not sure what the absorption rate of that is.

Yes. When you calculate it on your own, the price comes out right for the BOGO50% even though they show a higher price on the cart. I ordered a few things couple days ago with only 20% off. And, shop discover has 15% rebate. My order was over $100 and this will save me at least $15. The site said I can just return items at their store within 30 days. Anyone has any experience returning items at GNC?

as a former gnc employee i will tell you that gnc has one of the loosest return policies ever. people could literally open a product, use 75% of it, and then bring it back to the store within 30 days and say it doesn't work. i'd suggest leaving some of the product in there. we had to turn some people away that were trying to return empty tubs. keep in mind though. i haven't worked there for a few years but if their policies haven't changed you should be good to go.

has anyone here tried this "About time" protein? http://www.gnc.com/family/index.j...+Nutrition

I read their return policy a few times already and do think I should be okay returning them within 30 days. I haven't received my package yet and I will not open them. I just want to re-order to take advantage of the additional discount since it will be close to $20 saving. Thanks.

you'll be fine. just bring your receipt.

anyone got a gold card number they wouldn't mind sharing via pm?

Hot buys and other sale don't work with this code...

Code didn't work for me but ordered 180ct mega men vitamins for $19 shipped with shoprunner. I normally have paid $10 for 90ct in past sales. So it was a good price.

http://www.gnc.com/product/index....Id=4033437

Even with BOGO 50% off on certain proteins + SAVE25, it's still expensive than competitors. No wonder the Chinese company (Bright Food) walked away from acquiring GNC...

SITEWIDE!!! (except Atkins bars...)

Please post another site that currently has a better offer. I need to make an order for some stuff I like and this is the best I've found yet.

The two proteins with BOGO 50% off that I found on GNC was MET-Rx Ultramyosyn and and Cellucor COR-performance whey (they removed the BOGO 50% off on product description, but when I add two, I get the discount--this may be removed soon).

But even with BOGO deal + SAVE 25, bodybuilding.com had lower prices (bb.com always have 10% discount codes floating around). Of course, the shipping isn't free. :(

BB.com doesn't carry CytoSport Muscle Milk (Regular, Naturals and/or Light) - Strawberry Milkshake... other flavors are more expensive currently; even with a 10% discount.

I assume you are talking about the 1.65lb tub? The description says Strawberry Milkshake, however the picture stills says Strawberries N' Creme just as all the other varieties are flavored.


www.allstarhealth.com
Always cheap stuff and 5.95 flat rate shipping. 5lbs muscle milk is 42.89 vs 49.99 on GNC (hotbuy item so no additional discount). Only way GNC will ever be a good deal is if you can find some of the BOGO items and stack the 25% off discount. At that point you're probably barely beating most other sites 24/7 pricing.

Strawberries N' Creme is not an option? :P But you are right, the prices on those aren't better at BB.com.

But may I suggest that Muscle Milk isn't that great? They use cheap Chinese sourced vitamins and minerals in their protein complex that caused them to show higher levels of heavy metals and contaminants in that famous protein analysis.

Also, micellar casein is the better, undenatured form of casein. MM uses calcium and sodium caseinate which are the cheaper sources. If you like the profile of Muscle Milk (much like a meal replacement), I recommend Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide (51:49, casein:whey ratio) and the strawberry flavor tastes just like strawberry milkshake. Albeit, more expensive. :(

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you have said. I prefer Strawberry Milkshake, in any form. NOT with banana or creme or anything else... just strawberry milkshake. Currently allstarhealth's price does not even come close to what GNC is offering unless I'm just not seeing it.
Nope, Strawberries N' Creme is definitely NOT an option for me... taste like crap IMO. I'm not debating the quality of their products; I agree with you to an extent... the products tested were of a chocolate variety which we don't drink. Other flavors will not contain the contaminants that cocoa products contain. And most importantly, if the girlfriend won't drink it then it's worthless for me to buy for us. :)

Yeah, tried buying Pump HD and the coupon code wouldn't take... so I bought on Amazon and the price worked out to being about 25% less, so I got the deal I wanted anyway.

I'm saying I filtered out all Strawberry flavors and only see one item called Strawberry Milkshake and that is the 1.65lb tub of Muscle Milk Light. If you click on the picture of the item, it still says Strawberries N' Creme so I was wondering if that's what you were talking about.

No it is not cheaper for this particular item. As I said the BOGO + 25% will probably be cheaper on GNC. This item qualifies for both so it's a good deal (assuming you won't purchase a better alternative). I clicked on a few items I was interested in and none of them applied for either so I was just posting up a link to a decent site.

bought 6 lbs of the chocolate ultimate nutrition protein for 28$... sick deal

Oh, yea the gf likes strawberry milkshake and that's the small tub she likes. Picture appears wrong but they usually are on these sites.

I'll be keeping allstar in my links, thnx for the tip.

Even regular priced, it's still the best deal I can find on protein. 57 servings for 23 bucks (19 dollars on vitacost). Chocolate is the best.

That is Wheat protein. Best for vegans. Definitely not whey as the post you quoted mentioned. Only a good deal if you don't care about the type of protein.

Man, too bad. Everything I wanted is a "hot buy" and doesn't qualify.

Oh well, back to fitrx or hoping for another coupon at bodybuilding.com.

Not bad, buy with Discover and get another 15% cashback. That makes 6# of whey just under $24 shipped to my door.

Anyone else having problems with this coupon on non-supplement items? For instance, I'd like to buy the Century Bob XL dummy with stand. It's $399.99 but the coupon says not applicable however won't say why.

*Edit - never mind, there's a popup now. Not exactly all-encompassing coupon

"Offer does not combine with any other promotions. Offer does not combine with hot buy, Deal of the day and other select items. Exclusions will apply."

I'm getting a great ab workout laughing at the prices on some of their protein bars!!! Ahahahahahaha!

Please post the best protein deals in the Wiki. TIA.

Be sure to save the packing slip. I tried to return the 3x fish oil and had my email, invoice, etc, but for some reason they needed the packing slip. Luckily the store mngr took the same supplement and bought them off me. He told me it was significantly cheaper than what he paid with his store discount.

GNC is a joke. The coupon only applies to regular priced items which means that you're paying more after the coupon than what you'd pay from bodybuilding.com.

http://www.gnc.com/product/index....ickid=cart
10lbs for $64.11 is pretty decent.

Bought 3 times from GNC and got canceled every single time. Why should I order from them and get canceled again? Tired of it.

I am going to try this protein, all natural whey isolate/whey concentrate .61 per serving (bogo 50% + 25% applied) http://www.gnc.com/family/index.j...+Nutrition

Quest bars $18.84 + free shaker cup. A little better deal for me than the 30% Bodybuilding.com deal last week. I eat way too many of these. http://www.gnc.com/search/index.j...Quest+Bars

WTH is this I tried to order my syntha 6 and the coupon does not apply is this coupon sitewide or gnc's retarded products wide ? What a joke . Guess ill stick to amazon S&S.

bring back the ice wands! :lmao:

lolol

even with the 25% discount the quest bars are over 2x more expensive than pure protein bars...are they really that good? never tried them ....

but pure protein bars with about 190 calories/bar and 20grams of whey protein costs about $0.75 while the quest bars are like $1.5 not sure if they are really worth paying more than twice....

Wont work on syntha6 because its considered a hot buy item. Looks like i wont be ordering anything either.

There's a deal going on right now where you get a free shaker bottle when you buy a boxed product. Add this (http://www.gnc.com/product/index....Id=2542486) to your cart and you'll see the message stating as much. I got it for free when buying Quest Bars.

for me, Yes they are that much better. I like the lemon flavor. Even though they are high in prebiotic fiber, They don't cause gas like the Pure Protein does for me. Fairly clean and simple for a processed food/protein bar.

Promax® Energy Bars (12 pack)

$13 and some change (FS w/ Shoprunner) + Free shaker! Very good deal. 20gs of protein.

My personal favorites.

Cookies and Cream

http://www.gnc.com/product/index....Id=2636318

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

http://www.gnc.com/product/index....Id=2936150

Promax bars used to be trash containing HFCS and partially hydrogenated oils. Have they changed their ways?

i've never paid more than $8.35 for these multis because they usually have the promo, *3 for $25* every so often. so buying (3) 90ct multis is cheaper when all things are equal.

with 27 grams of sugar that must be what keeps you all Jackdup. :)

been a gold card member for 4 years.

the only protein bars i would recommend is Supreme Protein, Dymatize and Eat Smart.

all three of those do not have the typical dry protein bar texture to them and they all taste like a regular candy bar - especially the ES one! it's like a chocolate covered rice krispie!

i would only buy the GNC pro performance branded ones when i'm feeling cheap and i wanted to save as much money as i can with the BOGO + gold card week and for practical reasons while not thinking too much about the taste. i mean they dont taste bad, but when you've had the three brands i mentioned, it's hard to go back.

http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/7...e-vitamins

^ ^ wait for another one of these

$1.50 for 20g of protein? Sheesh...

You can get a good powder for under 50 cents per 20g. That's quite a premium to have it in a bar form.

oops
 

I have plenty of Casein and whey protein as seen in my 6 minute workout here to top 10 Synyster Gates solos, just livestreamed a few minutes ago,http://youtu.be/JNDUHS4Y0PY
but I do stand corrected on that and edited my mistake on that comment about it being whey based. It may be ideal for vegans as it says, but still not a bad deal for non-vegans such as myself at $4.50/lb, I'm not all into the bro-science of absorption rates and all of that, I just take the !0/lb. Casein before bedtime, I usually just eat a heaping scoop right out of the jar without even bothering to mix it.:D

thank you! i do agree with you on the taste, my pure protein bars taste really dry and crappy to be honest, and at 190 calories, they are nothing but a quick snack, the eat smart bars are at 330 calories, with a small glass of milk or a fruit+some water, they are a perfect meal replacement! they do have about 15grams of sugar+5grams of sugar alcohol, i guess i can live with that..... :O

Note...Add the GOLD CARD for 15 bucks....if you dont have one....on some items it discounts it ....in fact my total bill was lower by adding the gold card to my list. I bought two 5 pounds of protein..buy one get one 1/2 off and the bill was 4 bucks lower with the gold card...gold card gave me 19 off...15 for the card...make 4 dollars less....plus I got a Gold card to boot

Not "SiteWide"

GNC Linda: Ok, I see what is happening. I do apologize John, but that promo will not apply to BOGO items or HOT BUYS or Deal of the Day, those items are excluded from that promo. GNC only allows one promo per order.

John: Promo is "SiteWide" which in my opinion means everything like a clearance. VERY MISLEADING.

Drugstore.com has a better deal on Promax bars...36 bars for $36 (after buy 2 get 1 free) + you get an additional 10% back through shopdiscover and another 5% back in drugstore.com dollars :)

There was a FP deal on 5$ for 2 bottles and someone suggested the sundesa blender bottles @ amazon which is 5.99 for the cheapest 20oz and 7+ for normal 28oz.

http://www.gnc.com/search/index.j...ds|Sundesa

Getting 2 here will cost $11 total with their buy one get one 50% off deal, shipping included, and no need to find fillers!

WTF...

Yes, they are definitely pricey, but I just like 'em. You can't really compare them to powder unless you only eat to fuel your body. I eat because I like food, probably a little too much. I drink a whey iso shake after workouts, but I like to have sweet yummy food to chew other times. Since I am too fat to eat candy every day, I can eat one of these instead. They are worth the extra $1 each to me to have a clean protein snack that tastes good to me. ;)

FYI If you buy FRS (4 pack), for example, and you want to order x5 you have to pay $25 for shipping. What a great deal :lol:

too bad everything's a "hot buy."

Yup, you're right about the discount.

The computer programmer for GNC needs to go back to school to learn some basic math.

If you like to eat food, why not eat real food? :)

Not working on Muscle Pharm Combat powder.

do we have to pay using a Discover card if going thru shopdiscover?

because the food I want to eat is a1/2 gallon of blue bell ice cream or a dozen cupcakes. these kind of almost satisfy my sweet tooth with protein, few weird ingredients, no sugar and a controlled portion.

There are some new studies regarding Whey protein and lower of blood pressure studies that are very interesting...including studies of improving the immune system.

Not all protein is for body builders.....read below

Blood Pressure
To reduce the risks of stroke and heart disease, some researchers are focusing on effective ways to safely lower elevated blood pressure in at-risk populations. Beverages supplemented by whey-based protein can significantly reduce elevated blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke and heart disease. Susan Fluegel, from Washington State University (Washington, USA), and colleagues reported that daily doses of commonly available whey yield a greater than six-point reduction in the average blood pressure of men and women with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressures. As well, the whey-supplemented beverage also significantly decreased total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. The team concludes that: “Whey protein beverages may be useful for the dietary treatment of prehypertension and/or stage 1 hypertension.”

Cancer
One hundred-percent whey protein is rich in the potent antioxidant glutathione. Glutathione shields the DNA of your cells from damage caused from free radicals. Damaged DNA can lead to the formation of cancerous cells. Regularly consuming whey protein can reduce the risk of certain cancers, reports the National Dairy Council. In research published in the November 2004 "Alternative Medicine Review," test tube and animal studies links between whey protein and reduced cancer activity have been promising. However, large-scale human studies looking into this link have yet to take place.

Immunity
Whey protein is abundant in unique compounds such as lactoferrin and immunogloblins that boost the activity of the immune system. Consuming whey protein can make your body more resistant to bacteria and viruses by making your body's white blood cells more effective. Also, lactoferrin directly inhibits the growth and proliferation of bacteria such as E. coli.

Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a serious chronic disease that results from low bone mass. Consuming calcium rich dairy products like whey protein can reduce your risk of developing osteoporosis. Whey protein trumps other dairy products due to the presence of a special protein known as MBP. MBP activates cells known as osteoblasts that are responsible for bone building.

If you want 15% cash back. You can use other form of credit card payment...no cash back.

It's really funny you mention that. Two summer's ago I was originally talked into buying overpriced whey from them and their pre workout. After I went home I realized I spent too much and came back a week later. I took a few scoops out and tried returning it. There was a different cashier there and she asked if I really used a 1/3 of the tub in a week. Realistically I could have, nbd. But I had to convince her to return it. She had accused me of what apparently many do that I didn't think of. Taking portions of the product out and returning it for full price. I felt bad about doing it but its not like it was worth it anyway. Fark GNC anyway, constant price inaccuracies and schemes to lure thousands of people to get their information and then cancel orders. Jack up their prices and so forth. Whatever you know?

Whey has been looked at plenty of times and there are a number of proposed benefits. This is nothing new. Similar benefits can be derived from a healthy, well balanced diet. It is a quality food source among many others.

Whatever works :)

I feel GNC's prices are so damn high.

I paid $9.99 for the 180 this summer, but that was a FP deal. I am almost out and need more. :\

Their prices are crazy compared to amazon

Did the same, price on whey protein did not have the same allure as the protein bars and shaker bottle. rep'd

DOesn't seem to work for the men's multivitamin sports

http://www.gnc.com/product/index....d=13057048

12 bars for 6.xx with free shaker.

that's why you don't return it right away. take about 50%-75% out and then wait until after 21 days and return it. tell them that you were dissatisfied with the product and they will return it for you. however, they do keep track of how many times you do this so try not to do it too often.

Why you you guys promoting stealing?

Extended for one more day

ON Gold Standard?

Nothing good will take the coupon

eh...I disagree. Whey is from milk, plenty of antibiotics and steroids used in the production of whey. Soy is better.

I'm not. I'm just pointing out how ridiculous their policy is. People would do this all of the time and I would have no choice but to refund it. I decided to put this out there because the other guy was concerned that they wouldn't refund his brand new products that were purchased online. I DO NOT CONDONE STEALING.

Is there a reason the $1 shipping is not coming up?

edit: Was that just for the first day?

How?! Comes up as 13.49 w/o shipping

I watched a documentary on Netflix streaming called Forks Over Knives that says casein causes cancer.

haha thats hilarious. Have you done that? Well you can just go into different gnc's then right.

Alarmists...

Yeah...because that makes sense.

What's funny is, GNC is supposed to be about health...but, most who frequent them are 16 yr olds trying to get "big," with absolutely no regards to their health.

News Flash. Getting "big" isn't healthy. And, just because you watch your 120 gram a day protein intake, etc, etc, doesn't make you smart.

I didn't take it that way at all. You were stating the facts. And, sometimes, it takes 50-75% of the product to determine if it's "working" anyway.

Most kids think that one serving of some new incredible black/pink/blue magic is helping...

Your body needs time to understand it...time to produce the results relevant to the product.

no, i haven't. even when working there i bought my supplements online because everything is so overpriced. the only time it was a decent deal for me to shop at gnc is when i could get some of the stuff that is about to expire in addition to the 30% employee discount. in response to whether or not you can do it at different gncs you can't. whenever you return a product at gnc they ask for your id. they keep track of it in their system which can be accessed at any store.

Please tell me what is wrong with people getting "bigger" and stronger. I don't even know what the 120 gram a day intake is even referring to...

You are an alarmist. None of the things you brought up about milk have ever been shown to have any negative effect on humans. You are just touting nonsense you read in some article by yet another uninformed alarmist.

that was in response to the other guy who thought i was trying to promote stealing. I do believe it takes at least a couple of weeks of consistent use/workouts to truly know if a product is working for you. i was simply stating that that was the reason most people returned products at gnc. not to mention they probably found the same product online for half the price.

Is $1 shipping dead?

shhhhh, it's going to be ok. Everything will be fine.

ITT: People who have no idea what the hell they are talking about.

/pat on the head.

Just don't go around giving out any more horrific nutritional advice. No one else here needs to suffer from milk-a-phobia like you.

600g of Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Powder for $15.73 shipped 2-day. About average.

Soy if not properly fermented carries more estrogen like properties. Good for women....not good for men.

In regards to the well balance diet....yes...Whey is part of that. Better to get the protein from that versus eating beef with all that fat and other issues.

I eat Green Shakes, Protein shakes, Oatmeal, Nuts.

Eating a whole salad with celery, kale, romaine, tomatoes, onions...that takes time. I stick it in my Ninja blender....and in a few seconds I can shove down my mouth.

Unless its a steak or chicken kabobs or pizza, the rest of the green health stuff I just cram down my mouth.

So ordered some met-rx bars (http://www.gnc.com/product/index....Id=3069574) and got an email saying the order was canceled. Any reason? Was back ordered but that shouldn't matter right?

No it's not. Soy raises your risk for breast cancer by mimicking estrogen. So, it's not good for women or men. It can interfere with the production of thyroid hormones, specifically when eaten uncooked. Also, soy protein foods are rich in purines, which could precipitate gout. Finally soy is rich in trypsin inhibitors. Trypsin is a digestive enzyme we need to properly digest protein. Without enough trypsin, you’ll experience many digestive problems including stomach cramps, diarrhea, and bleeding. You’ll also be leaving yourself open to future problems with your pancreas.

SALE25 is dead.

:facepalm2:

Thousands of studies link soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility -- even cancer and heart disease.

Soybean crops are also heavily sprayed with chemical herbicides, such glyphosate, which a French team of researchers have found to be carcinogenic.

Any other useless tidbits of information Dr. JimmytheGreek?

Look three posts up. ;)

Yes that happened to me as well

GNC is terrible. I ordered protein bars that came w/ a free shaker. A few days after I ordered, they canceled my protein bar part of the order but sent me the free shaker and charged me the full ~$4 shipping for it. :mad:

I called them up and they said they can't do anything about it b/c the order already shipped. The guy told me I should be able to return it at a B&M GNC, but I don't know if they'll refund the shipping charges, to to mention I'd have to take the trouble to go to the store. I'll try to dispute it w/ my CC company.
