VOTE! How much $$$ do you spend on Supplements?

[gggunit14]

We all use supps. to get in better shape, and to augment our lifting, gaining and cutting regimens.

There are ideas that just diet and exercise and no supplements can be just as effective, and much easier on the wallet.

my question to you is: How much do you spend on supplements in a year?

it might surprise you how much some people will spend to enhance their body. (me included)!

I personally spend about $350 a year. Most of that being protein.

[dangoadam]

5lbs of protein lasts me 2 months, multis last me 45 days, so like 40-50 a month

[dopamine72]

I went crazy on stocking up on stuff and spent over $1000 last year, this year it will prob be around $500 total if not less. I have found the cheapest possible protein source and only use multi and fish oil with that. Food will now be the thing that costs $, supps not so much...

[vsev12]

considering tub of protein of lasts no more than 2 weeks, thats already $600 / yr considering $25 5lbers... and thats if scoring some good deals...

add some creatine, multi, fish oils , pwos

some more things to experiment with like test boosters, fat burners etc...

easily over $1000

[MuscleControl]

My protein alone is expensive.

15lbs a month in powder. I get the cheapest protein powder which is 30$ for 5lbs.

Right there, it's 90$ a month just in protein.

15lbs per month = wtf? Thats 1/2 lb a day in protein... so 225 grams of protein shakes per day?




Either that cant be right - or - Total overkill.

x2!! thats way too much protein from shakes. eat some real food!! i probably spend right around the $1000 mark per year. that covers all the basics and trying new things here and there.

not necesserily ... if on test booster , bulk etc with increased hunger/calorie intake and shooting for upwards 2.0 g protein / lb bodyweight ... 225grams of protein from powders is about 50% of your protein intake, which is not too bad... getting 450 grams of protein from food would be expensive and or impossible...


Plus once you figure post workout shake, casein pre-bed, protein to supplement a meal, meal replacement shake or two.. there you have it

[butteredtoast]

spent $112 today. second most ive ever spent on one order.
I like to just buy as necessary

to each his own. i try to keep shakes to no more then 1/3 of my total intake

[Macrobolic]

I really couldn't say, cause I stock up a lot, and it lasts me forever. On top of that, whey/casein is a staple as I eat a mostly ovo-lacto vegetarian diet (and it's a little more difficult to get in the protein without raking in carbs), so I count that more as food, not a supplement.

Staples, not counting whey, probably around 83 bucks a month.

[tolli57]

about 100 bucks a month maybe a little less hard to tell cause I alway stock up.

[vsev12]

stocking up during good sales saves a lot of money.. unless it goes to the point of supplement acquisition syndrome and lots of supps go to waste as the stash continues to grow exponentially

[jamestyk]

trying new things = easily $1000 a year haha

[corozco]

Between $250 to $500. The secret is to get expensive stuff during the holidays and birthday's. Last September got 3 tubs of NO-Shotgun from the girl, B2G1. This past Christmas got hooked up with 25 pounds of whey (MGN). Hoping to receive some creatine this Valentines day...

Goddamn this thread is depressing... but only b/c I just realized that I spend way too much, make too little, and still want more.

Someone hit me up with some good deals!

[ndemeis]

Weight gainer for a month runs about $90 for the cheaper stuff, then throw in a casein, multi, creatine and then a pre/post work out your looking at about $250. Stupid Russian import tariffs.

[gggunit14]

IT would seem that the majority of voters either spend either 250-500 or 1000+.

What if i had kept going and put 1500+?


I made this thread because I don't think about how much i spend on supps, because its going to a good cause: making me stronger (i hope).

But in these recessionary times, sometimes tightening the belt on supp. spending can be a good thing.

keep an eye open for good deals!

and maybe before we place that next order, we'll all think a little more before clicking Place Order.

^^x2. I don't want to think about it, but then again, I'd rather spend it on supps than what most people spend on fast food or drinking in a night, .

ya, thats how i take it. i kinda ignore any amount i spend as necessary.
it is much better than junk people spend money on...

[anonymous]

I just bought $300 worth of stuff to stock up. But I'm hoping not to spend anymore than about $300 for the rest of the year now

[SEAviator]

If I buy

3 orange triads
4 optimum fish oil
2 Myofusion
1 80 serving green mag

it lasts 5-6 months...

I then might buy the same thing or change green mag for intrabolic..

In the end its 50-60 per month...

so 600 - 700 per year

[ewolf2]

I spend way to much compared to how much I make probably spend at least $100 a month.

[SEAviator]

I tend to gain more while reducing supplement intake.. not sure why.. mindset?

[RC2008]

FAR less than I would spend if I was buying them in food form.

Protein: I get from a cheap source. 40 pounds a month (around 90 dollars) for 5KG (around 12lbs). If anyone is wondering it's Nutrisport protein, which is quite popular here in the UK.

And a creatine product (around 40 pounds)

I dunno if you can call Natural Peanut butter a supplement, LOL. But I use it purely for bbing purposes, i.e. for kicking up my caloric intake in my shakes. for that, I pay 4 pounds per 1kg tub, and buy around 4-5 tubs a month.

[Drexx]

I pretty much just take protein and mono and still I can imagine takes up 700 a year.

[DriftMonster]

Depends on the deals going on. I just keep an eye out for deals and stock up when I see them... I've had $200 orders that last me for several months...

[2ripp3dup]

i dont really keep track of how much i spend but its probably around $500. it could be a little bit more or even alot more. most of it being protein.
