Don't know how well this will go down but (especially for me biggrin) I think we need a thread that we can post offers on supplements for the people of PH to take advantage of.
Ill start the thread off even though this offer is currently out of stock. 8kg monster matrix http://www.supplementcentre.com/ProductPage/13070/...
It's also on offer at £49.99 from the matrix website

Nice Idea.

I know Sainsburys are selling USN protein bars (choc/vanilla ice cream flavour) for "Buy two for £2.50", so working out at £1.25 each - compared to the recently increased prices of MP oats and whey at £1.66, seems a bit of bargain especially considering you don't need to bulk buy as you do at MP. I did however, and cleaned the shelves of them the other day!

I keep thinking bars in general are so expensive, but when I try and replace them with another high protein snack I always end up spending twice as much, with less convinence.

It is just far too cheap in all honesty. It has got alot of bad reviews on a bodybuilding forum I'm also on.

Hate oats, well cant stand eating them. Normally have it with milk and warm it but don't like taste. Started a topic elsewhere about bulk buying pasta which is what im doing at the moment. Might have to look into recipes (sp?) For making oats nice smile
ETA would they go well in a protein shake?

Instant oats are not really like normal oats at all. They thicken a shake and give it a sweet oaty !, taste. Really nice.

As a general rule, if it's cheap and not a trusted brand, it's ste. I've been caught out with a few 'bargains' before, learned my lesson.

Yes normally true, a whey protein is fine though is it not? Same product in the end just different addatives such as l glutamine etc

In a sense, whey protein is whey protein. It has been known for companies to greatly exaggerate the % volume of protein per 100g though. So when you think you're taking 30g, and you're actually taking 10g.

Can they do that? The matrix stuff is 24g per roughly 45g scoop. 10kg for £75 is a bargain really. Normally £10 per kilo on most wheys

They can't, but it has happened. There was a big hoo haa earlier this year because a company got called, and caught out. Can't remember who it was though...?

Ooo right. Ill take a gamble with this matrix stuff in new year; unless something cheaper comes along. Atleast reviews look ok for it. Can't be any worse than the amount of money ive blown trying pre workouts etc that don't work for me frown
