is by far the best deal for whey I have seen, because of the free shipping.

I don't think you really need to worry about the pricing of creatine monohydrate. It's generally something like $20 for 1 kilogram online.

If you need it TODAY, and can't wait for delivery. Walmart is the cheapest I've found, it's $15 or so for 2 lbs. I get the less popular flavors for 12. I'll probably get the 25 pound tub that somebody linked though, that's a pretty awesome deal.

MGN premium protein blend via Muscle and Strength gives you 2 5-lb containers (you can make them the same or different flavors) for 55.99 plus cheap shipping (like 5 or 6 bucks)

i dont use creatine, so idk bout that, but the above is a pretty sick deal on whey

I'm using Optimum Nutrition 100% whey gold standard. Seems to work really well. The glutamine in it is a plus. Using the same branded Creatine Monohydrate named 'Creapure'- the german manufactured one. Micronized too for easy absorbtion. Definately noticable.

Say what you will about T-Nation and their bodybuilding ways but they do have a decent deal on their Biotest "German Micronized Creatine" IMHO. You can get two 500g containers for $20 shipped to your doorstep.

Has anyone had experience with Biotest Grow Whey? I got a tub from EliteFTS a few weeks back and it tasted great and wasn't too expensive.... don't know how quality it is though. I'm a longtime user of Optimum Nutrition..

I don't personally have experience with Biotest Grow, but I can tell you that 2 lbs for $22 is no deal. Once you start doing multiple scoops per day (which you should if you are a male) that will get very expensive, very quickly. Generally I don't buy anything that costs more than $5-6/lb. Grow is $11/lb, and the cost will become prohibitive.

Just on a side note, why are supps so fucking expensive in australia? Cheap creatine here is $50 for a kilo, renown brand creatine is 80$ for a kilo. Thats still like 40-70 bucks US. Even aust company proTein is $165 for 3 kilos!! What the fuck!

VAT, GST, PST, Duties, non tariff barriers, freight fees, etc.....you guys are on the other side of the world.

I think it's worth it to spend $8-9 on whey isolate. It doesn't have any fat/cholesterol, and doesn't give me gas like WPC does.

If you can afford that, more power to you. I'm not concerned with cholesterol/fat content in general (cholesterol + fat's role in heart disease is overplayed, and underplayed in normal human health IMHO), and especially so when it is found in such minuscule amounts in most WPC supplements.

Have you tried this? Is the taste decent?

No clue, I haven't tried it yet. It was recommended to me by somebody at the gym.

Honestly, I don't care about flavor.. I've rocked unflavored trueprotein before. Regardless, this stuff is too inexpensive to ignore, IMO.
