Been buying this for a few months via Amazon… sweetened with stevia - I really like the taste of the chocolate flavor vs others like ON etc

I bought the chocolate instore at costco a couple weeks ago and it's delicious. This is a great price. I'm going to price match next time I go in Costco.

A good way to compare protein powder and other forms of protein is price per gram.
This would be 58servings x 25g of protein = 1450
We take the price $45/1450 = .0310
So, we are paying $.0310 per gram of protein here which is an AMAZING Price.

^Hope this video helps you all out.

Personally I would like to see no added sweetner or sugar. Also, the added natural flavors suck.
But at this slick deal I can't complain much.

Oops, I forgot to add the vanilla flavor. FIXED. If you get the vanilla flavor you will get 80.6%! I guess since you add cocoa powder and stuff it would be a little more than vanilla.

I personally like Vanilla over chocolate. Chocolate in my opinion is meh compare to the ON, but vanilla is just great.

At 2 Costco locations in the CA bay area it's actually $43.99. I was hoping the in-store price would have a bigger discount. Also, neither of the stores near me had vanilla, just chocolate, so the $1 extra online might be worth it for vanilla.

5.47lb of ON Nutrition is $63.99 from Costco.

I tend to like vanilla over chocolate protein powder as well. Have you tried vanilla and chocolate in this brand before? The chocolate won't go to waste but every now and then vanilla protein powder is kinda off, depending on the brand.

Yeah for $1 extra, can't beat delivery and not using gas.

I am glad to see a protein with no artificial flavors but it still seems a little pricey even with the discount. I started making my own chocolate flavored shakes with plain protein and cocoa powder and a stevia packet or a squeeze of monk fruit extract.

It says limit of 4 per member. Is this just on a per day basis or would it flag me if say I bought 4 one day and then tried to get more another day?

Which brand of protein do you get that's affordable? Used to get unflavored Myprotein before they stayed price gouging even after the pandemic.

I hear you. I am actually still working through my unflavored MP I bought before the prices got stupid. I also will mix in some unflavored pea and soy protein (also from my MP stash). The best deal I have seen recently on unflavored whey isolate is this one from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...O3GI&psc=1
(2.2lbs for $25.76 or 4.4lbs -- 2 x 2.2lbs -- for $48.13 (10% S&S on top of the other discounts))

I bought a week ago. It's pretty good quality and tastes better than optimum nutrition. Most importantly the ingredient list is super small. It's sweetened with Stevia which is great!
