Hi
I Ran into CVS(north first st) to lookup some protein bars. They had a ton of brands but most of them had loads of sugars/ sugar alcohols and other bad ingredients. To my surprise I saw 2lb protein shake (100%whey protein/blue bottle). The price was like 30$. The same bottle I had earlier bought from target at <20$. Seems like they have raised it by 10+$.
I was looking for some great deals with quest bars. I had a double chocolate and it was so amazing. Got one at fresh-easy for 2.7$. Seems like it is overpriced. But they are like 25$/12 bars on amazon. Is that worth it ? or there are better bars than quest ?

-Jon

Seems like most things at CVS are higher than other places.

I used to live right down the street from a CVS but long ago stopped shopping there. I only went there because it was close and convenient. Everything was completely overpriced.

Yes, drug stores are pretty overpriced for this kind of things. I usually end up getting my lifting supplements online.

Vitacost.com is usually pretty good, and for stuff like protein bars, sometimes Amazon is good.
