Is the whey protein and creatine sold at GNC as good as other brands?

GNC sells the same brands that any other supp. dealer would sell. however, GNC is wwwwwwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyy overpriced. its horrible how overpriced it is, you are better off reading about supps online and in this forum and then buying it cheaper from bodybuilding.com. hope this helps
I was very fortunate to live in this time when bodybuilding was embraced by Hollywood, embraced by doctors, embraced by the world.

remember that all supplements of the same family are fundamentally equal. This means that price should be the factor to consider. It is true that there are CEE, Mono, Dimalate, etc... but if you are that concerned, you should not be looking in GNC in the first place.

Muscletech 75%off
I know 90% of us are not fans of muscletech beacause of high prices and ridiculous ads, but I opened up todays paper and at rite-aid, there is a sale for buy one muscletech product, get another at 75%off. At that rate, i'm pretty sure the price will be way cheaper than online. Also, if you have a gold card ( i think they're like 10 or 20 bucks) you save an additional 20%.
What do you think?

For you guys that HAVE to shop at GNC's, try and find a Vitamin World in your towns or close. They Kill GNC in pricing and also there Value Card is 30%, FREE no 7.50 a year liike the Gold Card and NEVER expires. The first of some months they have everything buy one get one free. They also Price Match internet prices (with shipping cost added in as well) so you can't touch them in terms of RETAIL Supplement stores. Price Match just closes the deal for me....

Deals.
But you gotta admit, 75 friggin percent% Thats the cheapest.
When i dont want to wait for internet shipping, i go to Vitamin Shoppe, they're pretty descent. But damn, if vitamin world price matches INTERNet, nah i dont think they would do that. Maybe the young cashiers at vitamin world dont give a crap, but i asked before. They told me internet dont have office space rent, overhead, electricity, etc.. So they cant match.

Price Match
Im gonna try at the vitamin world here in california. I went on their website to look for a price guarantee but couldnt find any. I guess i'll take your guys word.
Do you know if they got these isolates:
Nectar by Syntrax ($19.76 at one website)
GF-Pro by Ergopharm ($23.50 at another website)

I wonder if anyone else notices this, or is really that picky-------------maybe I'm the only one?!?
