cheapest ive found is ebay, just hoping our aussie supps of same version dont have ingredients removed.
its a bad day for me.

and yeah clownboy i see where your coming from, our local prices are an absolute joke.

if your not happy with the products supplied in in australia by our sponsors and stores,then move to the u.s.simple.

mate dont take it personally, i neever had a dig at any of the sponsors, ive checked out a few and think prices are quite reasonable for all the unbranded gear, i deal in arbitrage and import goods for both my businesses, i understand it isnt the local aus bred suppliers fault, they can still only get the products for that amount, which are mostly inflated by import taxes, vat, clearance charges etc. this inflates the price they must sell there own goods to get even, im saying the greed from what ive experienced being a import trader, is 100% purely the aust. govt endless taxes in which they enforce and inturn make it very hard for the local guys trying to make a buck using purchasing internationally. I know how hard the competition is and did not mean it like that at all. cheers.

You need to look around. Protein Direct can help you with you protein needs. Pump Nutrition sells Champion Nutirion Protein Powders and that stuff is great. The list goes on.....

I've just done a quick online search and found Animal Pak anywhere from $69.95 to $100. With Gaspari you are paying for the name, like BSN and Muscletech. You want local products then check out Bioflex. All made here.

As Minotaur says, we're not in the US, nothing you can do but look around here. There are many site sponsors, close to 10 I think, and a few offer SM members a discount. You need to check each one.

I bought Krill Oil from the US last week as the price here is crap, and got some glutamine as well. I got a kilo for the same price you pay for 500g out here.
