(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: ZECH

I am just wondering if everyone spends as much money as I do on supplements each months? I guess I usually spend somewhere close to $200 a month.....

Posted by: Rusty

I spend close to $400/month.......but that is because I'm buying for myself and mywife........ So I guess it's bout the same.

Posted by: seyone

I have never actually added it up

Posted by: morelord16

200? you guys must be on some serious stuff, i send about 40$ a month.. not very much I guess

Posted by: mesmall

Under 100 for sure.

Posted by: dvlmn666

had to go for the 150-200, it varies month to month, but that sounds like a good average.

Posted by: Tank316

am above 200, but i buy enough to last 4-5n mths

100-150

100

I'd probably only be around 100-150 but I like the protien bars so it adds up fast plus I'm in Canada so we get screwed on sups.

Posted by: THE_GAME

Less than 100, I only buy Whey, Creatine, and sometimes Glutamine.

Posted by: Lightman009

Only about a 100 a month but I wish I could spend more.

Posted by: epimetheus

Under 100 for sure.
about 72 dollars with shipping for my protien powders.

Posted by: stubb

I spend about $140 a month on Whey and l-glutamine.

Posted by: irontime

Definitely up towards the 200 mark.

Posted by: KataMaStEr

My limit is no more than $70 Max every month. All I buy is Protein, one moth supply, Cratine which last for about 2-3 months supply and Glutamine wich last from 1 to 2 months, thats all I need. I'm a High School student, my allowanse is about $ 150 every month from my parents. On supplements I spend almost half of that money.

Posted by: kuso

probably around $200ish

Posted by: bigss75

Around 150 for MRP, Whey, Creatine, and Glutimine.

Posted by: average joe

Around $150.00

Posted by: ragingbull

I use about $125 mo on supps.

Posted by: BPB

About $150-200 a month for both me and the wife. Would be more but since we own a suplement store we get everything at cost. That's worth owning a store right there

Posted by: LAM

around 150-200 on supps and about 500+ on food.

Posted by: Blade

around $150 n supps then another 50 in meats.

Posted by: Xeldrine

All together around $350.00 including meals

He asked for supplements not food.
$75 to 100 is a good average for myself.

Posted by: mad_mike

probably around $80.00

Posted by: TRD

Around $75 - $100

Posted by: Sauron

About $100-$150 on protein, L-Glutamine, creatine, ZMA and Multi's.

Posted by: Solid_Steel

Not including meals i spend an avg. of $200-350 which is outrageous IMO.

Posted by: Snake_Eyes

Regular supplements, it might average 5-10 bucks. I buy protein in bulk, and that's about it.

Posted by: BUSTINOUT

I'm assuming you mean OTC supps. lol

Around $200.00

Posted by: ZECH

Yes...legal!

Posted by: david

Definitely more than $200 month! Don't ask me to itemize.... they'd lock me up! LOL!

Just kidding.

I take a lot of VPX's stuff and some of us know how much that can cost. Protein shakes, and lots of vitamins and minerals etc.

Posted by: Duncan

Wow, u all spend alot of cake on supps. I generally average under $100 a month and I get alot of stuff. My only year round supps are fish oil caps, multi-vit, glutamine, protein powder which, all-tolled, cost no more than $60 a month. On bulking months I will take tribulus, creatine, and ZMA and on cutting ones, a thermo. On occasion I will splurge and get 1test or something like that, but I could not imagine what I would be able to buy for over $200

Duncan....which fish oil caps do you get?

Was looking at re-stocking and noticed quite a large pirce difference for what, at a glance, appeared to be basically the same thing

Posted by: cornfed

LOL....

what are we defining as supplements?

Posted by: david

recap... I now spend under $100 and sometimes a little more due to the 1 Test! But mostly now, $75! I'm saving now!

Posted by: olusco

i spend like $100 to $150 . 10lbs of protein creatine and glutamine and fat burner, like goat weed, green tea extract and chromiun picolinate

yeah yeah yeah..........

Posted by: I Are Baboon

I just spend $100, but it was for me and the wife. Tub of protein, couple boxes of bars, and some creatine.

It's amazing how fast a 4.4 lb tub of powder goes when you've got two people using it every day.

Posted by: Twin Peak

IAB, I go through a 10 pound bag myself pretty quickly too.

Does that include women in the gym, then?

Posted by: olusco

Will women.That cost me my crib, my paycheck and all my life. I tried to be slow and steady.

Posted by: RCfootball87

i never realized that at the rate most people here are buying supps, you would spend about 12,000-15,000 in a decade. whoa now. i spend about $0 right now cause im broke, but if had some money id buy protein. maybe like my senior year, after ive done like 3 years of hard lifting, ill take creatine. who knows.

Posted by: MarcusMaximus

i hit under 100 bucks even though it is close to 30.00 and i don't consider my protein powder as a supplement to my diet. it is my protein source so i consider it food. but i know what you meant by your question. you may wish to have an "under 50" selection and then explain explicitly that you want an "on average " so that if people buy in bulk for several months, they are to divide by thenumber of months.

no charge for the math lesson there....hehehehe. no one jump down my throat for the hint; i ain't saying you didn't know how to do it.

Posted by: camarosuper6

Some people REALLY spend quite a bit of money. Whoo!

Heres my average list:

Off Cycle:

ON Whey : 45$ every 2 months (10 lb bag lasts longer sometimes)
Pro Blend 55 45$ a month (5 lb)
Multi Vitamin 25 $ every 2 months (GNC MegaMan)
Swole 25 bucks a month (550 grams)

On Cycle : 1m-t/4ad maybe 55-60 bucks for 3 week supply
Plus regular supplements. The m1-t is cheap, but the transdermal 4-ad is around 30-40 bucks.

So I spend ROUGHLY 70 to 110 bucks monthly depending if Im on cycle or not. Supplements are just that.. SUPPLEMENTS for REAL FOOD

Posted by: Power Rabbit

100ish..im in that ballpark...its the food that kills me...i spend a metric f*ck ton on all the food i have to pound to bulk cleanly

Posted by: TaylorsNutrition

I spend les than 100.00. My wife doesn't see eye-to-eye with me when it come to supplements. So normally, if I spend less than 100.00 it doesn't stand out on our monthly statements.

Posted by: MarcusMaximus

i long ago gave up including my protein powders as part of my 'supplement ' program. The stuff is no different than a bucket of cottage cheese ( in terms of what it provides ) so i don't think of it as a supplement.
For the sake of this poll however, i did include it in my total as i believe that no distinction was being made.

if you exclude the food item " protein powder " from my list, then i spend nothing.

i don't expect my protein powder to " do " anything . I certainly don't expect my protein powder to " work" in the same sense that some of the ppl who posted questions seem to expect.

does everyone consider protein powder a supplement ? or, do some consider protein powder simply another item in the long list of food that you eat?

Posted by: Big Smoothy

I spend about $180 per month on protein powders. I like Creatine.

Most of the other supplements I believe, are overrated. Ephedra sucks, and a lot of the other gimmicks. It's all about you spending money, and numb-nuts making profits.

I'd be in some pretty good shape if I was spending that much....

spending that much on powders makes me think that the powders must be very expensive where you are. So how much is a 5 pound jug of protein there?

Posted by: Testosterone

I spend about $450-500 per month.
Although I have bulk Whey protein concentrate & isolate with me all the time to save money but I mainly buy MRP's because they taste too good to resist. Creatine based formulas, L-Glutamine, Animal Pak are also on my regular list. My main spending goes on Protein bars which I cannot resist.
The Total of $500 might be misleading to many but I have to pay for shipping & Customs Duties which account for nearly 70-90% of the total price.

Posted by: TrojanMan60563

I spend $160 minimum and that covers Whey, Creatine, Glutamine, and Flax Seed Oil. That goes up during times like now where I am taking NO2,Methyl-D,Milk Thistle, Tribestan, and 6OX

Posted by: titans1854

$500 is a lot. I spend like $40 at most.

Posted by: musclepump

If my wife wasn't sponsored by a supplement company, I'd probably spend a ton; but right now I'm probably spending $50 or less.

Posted by: KentDog

Damn. I spend under $200 for supplements that last me a period of 3 months.

Posted by: mrmark

About $100 but im thinking of taking BCAAs which will shoot up my outgoings.

Posted by: john3356

About $100 maybe less....buying in bulk is the way to go
