I’m currently living in a university residence hall with a bunch of other undergraduates. About 6 of us are looking to buy protein powder, and I am assuming that the best place to do so in bulk would be online.
A) I’ve read that optimum nutrition is a good mixture of effective powder and taste, is this true?
and B) Are there any websites that offer discounted deals for relatively large purchases?
Thanks in advance T-Nation.
I’ll only answer B since I’ve never used Optimum Nutrition
Check out trueprotein.com
I don’t know if they offer discounts on bulk orders, but their prices are decent.
As for other companies if you order from Biotest (here) and go over $150 you get free shipping, which really helps out your wallet.

If you are going this route PM me your email address and you can get a 5% discount.
You can probably not get a lower price than the discount clubs unless you order an insane amount. You may be able to get an extra 5% off or so if you each order 25 pounds, save sales tax and get free shipping from ordering online and get a higher quality protein. That is about it. I have seen $40 off coupons for a $300 order at another well known online site.
You could also wait and pray the whey prices return to what they used to be a year ago.
Grow! Whey is looking more and more affordable all the time and as mentioned free shipping over $150.
