I didn't realize supplements were so expensive
Here is what I want to take and what they cost (I'm in Canada so it's more expensive)
ON Whey 5lb - $59.99
Muscle Milk 2lb - $49.99
Lipo 6 - $64.99
BSN CellMass - $69.99
Aninal Pak Multivitamin - $49.99 (guessing)
That's roughly $295! I don't even have Glutamine yet. How do you guys afford this stuff?

It would make sense. That stuff is expensive. I guess if I stretched it they would last me 2 months.

Jesus, are things really that much more expensive up there?!
It's definitely a pricey lifestyle, but you should have better health while you're working two jobs to pay for it

Those prices are insane, buy from bb.com.
Drop the Cellmass, look into Xceed.
Drop the Animal Pack, look into Now Adam
Drop the Lipo6, look into Scorch.
Drop the Musclemilk, stick with ON.
Skip the glutamine.

Lipo 6 - $64.99 Ditch this and look into a more cost friendly option (sesamin,scorch)
BSN CellMass - $69.99 ( replace with Storm or Green Mag)
Aninal Pak Multivitamin - $49.99 (guessing) I like Pak but Now Adam or Ecogreen are more wallet friendly
That's roughly $295! I don't even have Glutamine yet. How do you guys afford this stuff?

I don't know where you are buying your supplements from but those prices are insane, even for canada.
ON whey is usually closer to $40. Same with MM. Lipo-6 is around $50, not sure about cellmass and I don't care, same with Animal Pak..
And your choice of supplements isn't that great either.

I agree. The only thing I would change would be to drop the lipo-6/scorch all together. Scorch is a much better product though IMO.

Yeah sucks I here in Canada prices are crazy my family just went on vacation there, I would go with good quality companys who offer good products much cheaper, Like Creatine, go with PRO-LAB CREAPURE 200 servings here for U.S. people its 25.99, cell mass has about 30 day supply is most. Viatmains go with NOW ADAM MULTI V, Lipo 6 etc, check EBAY might be very cheap.

Are those prices in Canadian dollars or US dollars? I can get a 10 lb bag of ON's whey protein here for 51 bucks, and Lipo 6 costs me half of what you are paying.

Those are canadian dollars buying from GNC without a gold card. GNC will also match any competitors non-online prices.
These prices are definitely not reflective of the prices in good canadian supplement stores or online stores.

It's actually from Titan Nutrition. They have a couple of stores here.
There is only one other supp store besides them and they charge $69.99 for ON Whey.

Take a look at an another store.
My store is selling ON whey for 45 taxes included. But yeah designer creatines/NOs are very expensive here. That's why you should stick to the basic. Basic doesen't mean less results, but what you really need.
Allmax micronized creatine 400g 20$
dymatize elite 5lb 45$
costco multis for a year 12$
*1000g of l-glutamine 40$ (I do think it's important)
taxes included
Stick to the basic, skip the fancy stuff, save alot of money.
Cellmass is good for 30days. For the half of the price, you could get 200 days supply of micronized creatine!

It sure is (but keep in mind Canadians buying Canadian, our shipping is a hell of a lot cheaper, and we don't have to pay exchange or anything). It evens out pretty much in the end.
I'd check out bb.com for those products, you may find it cheaper (plus with that high an order, you get a free gift. Doesn't everyone love free gifts!?!)

Selection here in Canada sucks too! I take Prolab creapure, but can't find it on any canadian site (bloody GNC doesn't even sell anymore)!
You yanks have the best selection

You just have to find a good store. ALot of ripoffs up here. Im from vancouvr and go to a lil place in langley. 10 pounder of on is $88 ( pretty much same as BB.com with shipping and exchange rate) 5 pounder is $47 . Places like Reflex are a ripoff, place wants around $50 for Aninal Pak Multivitamin and for a 100 pack of BCAA is $34. I just got 200 caps of that **** for $14 off BB.com.

I only shop at 2 different stores, they give me sick discounts and have the best product lines. Don't go to GNC or some ****, you don't find pro golfers buying their **** at Sears. Go to stores that aim more towards the bodybuilder, you'll usually come away feeling less ripped off.
BTW, if you already got whey, you don't need Muscle Milk, also, just use a 15 dollar multi vitamin make sure it's in capsule, not tablet form. Animal Pak is bull****, sure the profile is impressive, but it's like swallowing marbles, none of those rock hard tablets fully dissolve.
