still a devious weightlifting bastard Member 43, 14374 posts | Hi, just on your site having a look see having followed the link from SugdenBarbell.co.uk and looking at prices for Impact Whey Protein. 5kg unflavoured is £46.79, 5Kg Chocolate Nut flavour is £57.19 £11+ seem a bit steep for what is effectively a bit of flavouring. Could you please let me know if I am missing something or if this is a mistake as I would like to make a purchase. I feel better if I am unconfused when spending money. Hope to hear from you soon. Cheers, littlea | ||

Even with the powder additive at 4.49 it's still only 51.28. Part of the reason I only buy unflavoured. | ||

Its most likely the cost of mixing - either mixing a huge batch which is time consuming/energy intensive (solids handling in process engineering is a git) or if they mix it on order, so someone has to mix it for you and you pay for their time. | ||

"Please note this nutritional information is taken from the unflavoured version. When choosing a flavoured version it will reduce the protein content by approximately 3% for most flavours, however chocolate, due to the added cocoa, will reduce it by approximately 8%." Quite a big drop in protein volume for flavoured too | ||

Member 5031, 1417 posts SQ 230, BP 140, DL 275645.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | Even though flavoured loses protein %, your general gym rat wants flavoured protein, so it's a marketing method to the masses. Price the stuff that people want, because they'll buy it anyway. be interesting to see sales stats on flavoured vs unflav | ||
