I wouldn't normally buy this brand, nor flavour, nor Weight Gainer but I just got......

For £14.93 :eek:
Weight Gainer is reduced to £3.73 (per 1.5kg)
Whey Protein is reduced to £4.98 (per 908g) but buy 1 and get 1 half price!

Most stores are out of stock (I had to go to Stafford to get these) but I've resevered some different flavours at a couple of other local stores :D

(PS I know some will say 'look at the use by date!' one of the WG is 11/2009 but the other 3 are in 2011 :D)
 
But ask yourself... "why is it so cheap?"
is it actually any good? I've not heard of "pro powder" personally. and I dread to think what goes into "weight gainer" products.

Its "Pro Power" and I believe only this chain sell it (can't say who as it is classed as a competitor :rolleyes:) Weight Gainer usually sells at £14.99 (aint looked at whats in it) and the Whey usually sells at £19.99. AFAIK they selling it off as it's end-of-line.

They are also doing Creatine for £3.73! Glutamine for £3.73 (although that doesnt say its reduced). And Fat Burner Slimming Caps (lol Snake Oil anyone?) for £2.44.

As I said I wouldn't usually buy, but I can't resist a baragin, besides it's better than nowt :p

Because there are steroids in there :confused: ? Looks alright, for that money how can you complain?
I'm trying to think of a shop that would be a competitor to ocuk but would also sell whey... not really coming up with anything.
 
I'm really tempted, is it worth it? They have some stock locally of the whey and weight gainer. Atm I'm just going for whey unless I can find the makeup of the weight gainer.
 
The reason it so cheap is that atm there doing a nation wide re-bin, basically a whole throw over of the stock in there ware houses, brings new lines in a puts the old line on RO where they will be sold for another two weeks before being sent back to the manufacturer
 
ok ingredients of Weight Gainer:
Dextrose, Whey protein concentrate, Maltodextrin, Sweet Whey Powder, Gelatine hydrolysate, Cocoa Powder, Flavours, Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin E, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Boitin, Vitamin B12.
Sorry cba to type in the vitamin components; so its basicaaly just a Dextrose (and tastes like it) based drink, I was gonna buy some Dextrose and Maltodetrin the other day so I'll just use this instead ;)

Just to note this (havent tried the Whey yet) wouldn't mix well with a fork, I was a hand blender anyway and that did the job.
Tingly mouth aftertaste ***!
