Costco shake prices?



Recommended Posts

We had Sams and costco but when it came time to renew, we kept Sams because they offer a military discount on their membership. They are both the same distance for us. I just got a Costco membership because I did the numbers and with the shakes alone, it will pay for itself in three months, with the price difference. I will pay for Costco and my husband will keep Sams. Sams Club has free shipping on orders of 99.00 or more.

I buy the vanilla, and add frozen bananas, strawberries, or pineapple....... Blends to a thick shake consistency in my Ninja blender. Sometimes, I add a scoop of chocolate Protein powder to the vanilla, PB2, and ice...... that one gives me over 60 grams of Protein in one shake.

Sounds lovely.

But I believe your body will not absorb more than 40-45 grams of protein in one portion.

Just thought I'd let you know as protein is expensive.

costco does offer shipping on their site, and they have a lot more for sale online compared to inside the store. Right now they are honoring the coupon online, as well, so a 2pk of shakes is $39.99 + $6.99 shipping. Not sure how that compares to Amazon. A lot of their prices include shipping, too.

*I* personally think a costco membership is worth it's weight in GOLD. My kids have some food allergies (and so do I) and they have tons of allergy friendly, organic and natural products.

Also, the guy who delivers from my Costco is seriously sexy. AND he puts my order away!

(my husband works there ;))

Costco delivers!!!! What?!!!! Need to get on that train, although, I get in a lot a steps when I go there by parking at the end of the parking lot. But they don't carry the strawberry and cream flavor in the store. :(

I saw my NUT last week and have been drinking the Premier Protein drinks. I love them so! But she told me they are not the best Protein shake around because they are not 100% whey Protein. She said that because of the inferior sources of protein you are probably only absorbing 10 grams of protein (as opposed to the 30 grams on the label). That was a huge wakeup call to me! Anyone else hear anything like that from their NUT?

Here's premier's explanation of their product ingredients... http://www.premierprotein.com/deeper-science-on-protein/

I purposely try to mix up my Protein sources, Not just limit to whey Protein. I do milk, egg, soy and sprouted seeds

They came to me recommended by nutritionalist as well as a Med Doc that does non surgical weight loss (ie low carb eating). so, I don't know what to think except I have been using them regularly for 2.5 years and have good evidence my Protein intake is good.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
