Where are we going for protein?

Yes, I discovered this the hard way after trying to mix up a scoop with half a cup of water; the result was terrible, in terms of both taste and texture/thickness.

But the good news is I found a solution: just use 30:70 or maybe even 50:50 casein:whey and it's grand for both texture and taste. Sorted.

What's a decent price point for protein lately? I've a few weeks supply left but trying to keep an eye out for deals when they come up. Not sure when to pull the trigger though!

Likewise. I've resorted to eating more real food that is high in protein.

Black Friday is more often than not a disappointment.

It's marketing activity designed to draw in the unsavvy buyer who thinks they are getting value because they don't know any better. The protein suppliers are experts but not exclusive to this.

What's the benchmark for a deal/value you might ask?

€15 or less per kg delivered with a protein % greater than 78% is good criteria to start with.

I looked back at my order history and didn't purchase this time last year, which suggests whey protein prices for Black Friday weren't anything special.

45% off is pretty standard TBH

Would be great to exceed that this year and I hope they do but I expect the big discounts to be on the slower moving higher margin products like the multi vitamins, fish oils, bars and aminos.

Cheers OmegaGene, good find.

Said I'd try a few of those fancy sounding coffee whey products too.

Top stuff folks!!!

3kgs delivered for €35 will see me right for a long time.

Thanks also. Ordered.

Yeah I just spotted that afterwards and edited my post. Good value for the price so picked up some whatever they will taste like 😀.

Anyone find short shelf life with myprotein? I asked on chat and was told it's 6 months so went ahead and ordered 6 packets of bcaa(am Vegan so use every day) but they expired in 2 months . I was caught out a few times in last few years so always try to have months in advance, and thought was environmentally friendly to have delivered in one go. Included a different type of bcaa in my next order and again only had 2 months shelf life. Annoyed that had gone to effort of checking on chat .

Did anyone else receive notice that their order for the limited edition whey protein has been delayed? I ordered the Banoffee and Apple Crumble and both are delayed, I just hope they don't cancel.

Mine as well. Have had the fedex handover email too.

Mine delivered today. The coffee whey is still available today (I didn't check the ltd editions).

How's the coffee whey guys, haven't gotten my delivery yet but looking forward to trying that.

Had it earlier - caramel macchiato or something. Really nice flavour & sorry I don’t get another bag.

2.5kg of impact whey protein in sttawberry jam roly poly flavour for €23.54 using code beast and use revolut for 3% cashback too

This offer is available again in that flavour. About €10kg

Great deal.

Looking back at my order history, I didn't order from Dec to mid Feb last year.

Hard to predict, been some great deals on the limited edition whey recently.

TBH I wouldn't expect good deals around this time as I'd expect demand to be high, new year new me etc therefore no need to discount heavily.

Seems to be more emphasis placed on moving high margin products like vitamins, BCAAs and flavour drops.

I received the limited edition Whey from MyProtein in the last fortnight - Banoffee and Jam Roly Poly - very happy with both. Thanks to the tip off's on this thread.

Really? I shop in SuperValu and have never seen it on sale. What aisle would it be in?

It may depend on the Supervalu though, especially the ones that aren't former Superquinn.

Can be worth having a look at some of the Irish suppliers too, in a pinch.

Notwithstanding the local fastway issue we have on our route, you'd get myprotein orders quicker! There's a few with shops too though, if they're convenient.

€8.88kg for the limited edition apple crumble flavour impact whey and then €22.50 for 2.5kg of the strawberry flavour, brilliant prices on both.
