I don't know where you come up with your math, but it sounds screwy to me. That discount card don't knock off dick. What, an extra 20%?Woooooooo.... You may get a little more on "gold card week" or whatever they call it.

Not to mention GNC's selection sucks hind tit. Shipping for DPS is about 5.00. If you stock up and only pay 5.00 s/h, that is alot cheaper than what you pay in taxes at GNC.

Lebrada Lean Body runs about 32.00 for 20 packets at dps, it costs about 50.00 at GNC. Muscle Milk costs 19.99 at dps and 40.00 at GNC. These are just a few examples, but if you are getting anything cheaper at GNC, they must be discontinuing it.

I walked into a GNC tonight to see if there was anything priced decently there. The only way they can possibly stay in business is because of lack of knowledge. They are going to be screwed when people begin to understand just how cheaply they can get stuff online.

Nope never got a gold card from GNC. All that I get there is their creatine monohydrate. For the price I pay there, for the amount I get its not bad. Also, I was just stating my opinion... And that is that DPS sucks.

might as well jump right in. DPS beats GNC straight up. nothing personal but if you think that 15-20% off their high price is a great deal, then perhaps you deserve to shop at GNC.

There is something fishy about a person who slams DPS when just about everyone here has nothing but positive comments to make about them.

and the joke is " I got kicked out of boy scouts because I ATE a brownie!"

Thats fine you think that DPS is a good store. I dont shop there or GNC sooo... I also never said anything about GNC having great deals. What I did says is the whole point to shopping on the net is to get a GOOD CHEAP deal. Like I posted before, I go to MC's discount nutrition here in SLC, or I shop at Tigerfitness.com.

So I am fishy... What the fuck is the big deal...

Also I wasnt attempting to make a joke in my sig. A guy I know, his sister lives here in SLC. Anyway she was taking him some brownies and I stole one, she told him... and hence the quote.

I am no un-subscribing from this thread because I dont feel the need to explain MY opinion anymore.

GNC is geared towards people who have no other choice, don't know much about supplements, have far too much money, don't mind paying more, get suckered into the gold card( in which they are forced to buy in order to justify having the card in the first place ) or are those sort of people who never ask questions. It is a high end high mark up store. just about everyone in the industry knows this. they are in higher end upper scale malls. they are not called " discount GNC stores " or " a buck or two supplements ".


DPS- i emailed the guy and buddy got back to me in one day. I haven't bought jack from him ( although i intend to !).


the fishy comment - ah it doesn't matter- you dont seem to understand the statement. it actually is an idiom of some sort. ( English teachers a little help please?) something was lost in translation here as i didn't mean that you were fishy- in this context it means that not all is as what it appears from your comment. there may be some hidden intention apart from just saying that GNC is a good store and the other was bad.

as for your signature: talk about an obscure reference.!! almost always, people put some quote to which others can relate or at least know of in some context. you put an extremely personal sentiment known only to yourself and 2other people...
hey, but it's your signature...

stay around. i didn't ask you to leave. No one did. Shop where ever you like to shop. it's your money. since you never made a specific mention of price comparison between DPS and GNC or wherever it is that you shop, you should have been prepared for the comments. it probably was just one specific item that you compared.

the shipping adds perhaps 2-5 % to your total depending on what you buy. if you buy a 10 dollar item then the 5 buck shipping charge certainly is going to be 50% charge on top of your purchase price. most people who buy from online stores don't just buy the one thing though.
anyway, have a good one.

this won't in any way affect my workouts so y'all have a great workout day!
