Whey Protein

positron · 2018-12-28 13:24:04

Use and benefits of whey protein is debatable to some, but ignoring that for a moment - whey protein prices has been going up over the last few years for some reason. Apart from the occasional deals and pricing mistakes from Amazon, it's usually around 20 euro per kg from almost all most sources (Amazon, MyProtein etc).…

Half price sale on in Holland and Barrett too for some ranges of Optimum nutrition lean - arguably the best brand out there for quality ingredients.

Can get 900 g for 20 euro

Apart from the occasional deals and pricing mistakes from Amazon, it's usually around 20 euro per kg from almost all most sources (Amazon, MyProtein etc). Even Aldi and Lidl stock Whey Protein and they are also around 20 euro mark per kilo.

So I was pleasantly surprised to see Dunnes Stores has whey protein for €15 per kilo - a local brand called ROS Nutrition, some local endorsements. Comes in couple of flavors on the shelf (strawberry, vanilla, chocolate).

If you see any other decent whey protein deals, please share!!

PS: Dunnes appears cheaper than ROS nutrition's own website.

Just popped in to Dunnes earlier. I notice the same ROS whey protein has gone up a lot in price. 19.49 Euro now versus 15 a few days ago.

Holland and Barretts inside Tesco have half price deal going on certain flavours of USN. At 21 euro a kilo it's not really a half price deal but that's now (temporarily) comparable to Dunnes, Aldi etc.

Sci-Mx UK has some deals at the moment - ~900 grams for £8, 2.1kg for £15. Shipping to Ireland is another £10 though.

Not sure if Sci-Mx Ireland has similar deals.

Argos has PHD whey on half price deal - small amount of stock around the country. Between 11-14 euro for the usual 900g-1kg packs.

I don't often go to Dunnes, but noticed yesterday that it's €15 on the shelf.

Just got 5kg of MyProtein whey (Chocolate Smooth) for 55 inc. delivery - wouldn't pay much more than that tbh (and their quality is better than Bulkpowders)

5kg for €55 is good.
It’s €95 for the same on Bulk Powders!

Have you got a link?

When I went onto their site, it was 95 Sterling.

I personally never buy chocolate myself, chocolate peanut from bulk powders is my choice.

Anyone want a referral link for bulk powders, let me know. Free stuff for both of us.

I think it's their most popular flavour, it's definitely the nicest of all the ones I've tried.

No links, I'd recommend just going to the site and signing up for the email. Most days you get an ad with some kind of discount, every few weeks you should be able to get 5kg of whey for 50-something and free delivery.

Their 6-layer bars are also v good, and I use the flavouring drops a lot.

MyProtein best around sign up for newsletter and only buy when they give you discount codes. Which is all the time.

The amount of spam these guys send is unreal. I only signed up on Friday and have got an email every single day since. Not one of them had a discount code that wasn't available on the site anyway without having to put up with the bombardment of emails.

Unsubscribe is a handy option

I did! I never usually sign up for any sort of emails whenever I'm creating an account anyway, but did so this time based on the below post:

Looks like Fastway. Clicking on further tracking brings you to their website.
