Alan is that really you or did Hadi steal your password and start snapping food pics??? GNC brick and mortar stores have to charge more than websites because they're operating costs are huge comparatively. Websites can be run by a couple of guys out of guys and a cheap warehouse.
A mall location costs a lot in rent, electricity, alarm monitor costs, paying a bunch of employees and management, etc. It's an expensive thing to do. That being said, I usually do shop online because of the cost. Affordable Supplements is about the only local store I'll buy much from, aside from the 75% off clearance at GNC. That will even beat web prices.
I do agree most of them are stupid, though. I bought a tub of
Muscle Milk on clearance for 12.50 and the kid was like "I need to warn you that
Cytosport has really cheapened they're product. They yse cheap
soy protein now, so I GUESS 12.50 is a pretty good price but...".
I said yeah ok and bought it since I know it's good. After I left I double checked the ingredients and there was soy
LECITHIN toward the end. Not at all the same thing as using soy as a source of
protein. They should know better than that. I think maybe some time I'll go there and bring some
lecithin up to the counter and be like "Why are you guys selling this cheap soy? Everyone knows it's junk
protein!".
speak your mind, whatever comes to mind
it was on sale from like $80. GNC is so expensive!
that just makes me laugh thinking walmart sells
