August 5th sleevers? New here :)

Well, as my wise Granny says, "it's not about the cards you're dealt; it's about how you play them." Just imagine that in a heavy Southern accent LOL

I don't know if any of you are SAMs Club members, but I've had an accidental discovery. A few weeks ago I called my weight loss surgeons nurse and asked if I could come in and buy some of their Protein shakes (they carry bariatric advantage). The nurse said that they were actually out of it and their order was late. She told me to go into GNC and get their version. It has the same nutritional counts and was like $0.49 cheaper per servings. So off I went into GNC and bought over $100 worth of their GNC Lean shake powders. 4 Different flavors. The only one i found that I could think about anything other than the wretched taste was the french vanilla. I would mix it with black coffee and cinnamon. Now, about every other week, I place a SAMs Club order. I just go through and select my items online and then they are all ready to pick up the next day at the store. Well, this last order I noticed that they have the same gnc lean shakes pre-mixed & ready to go 12pk case on sale. But it was one of those things where "price too low to advertise. you have to add to your cart to see the price." So, I did that to see how the price compares to the powders from the actual GNC store. Except, I forgot to take them back out of my cart and ended up accidentally buying them. For two days I kept beating myself up about how I wasted the money. Blah blah. Finally I opened the box and tried one. THEY TASTE A BILLION TIMES BETTER than the powdered versions. Seriously. They taste like a chocolate slim fast shake. Then I was kicking myself that now I know the expensive pre-mixed single serving bottles taste so much better but cost more than the powders. Then I noticed the nutrition labels. The powdered single serving is as follows: 200 calories, 17g carbs, & 25g Protein.< /p>

The premixed version is as follows: 170 calories, 6g carbs, & 25g protein. So then I was thinking, "geeze.... maybe the premixed shakes are worth the extra cost." And lastly, I sat down and compared costs per serving.

The powder is $2.79 per serving after buying the $10 or $15 annual gnc membership. So, 12 powdered servings comes to $33.48 before tax once you've bought your membership. The premixed case of 12 from sams club was on sale for like $16.98 which is nearly HALF of the price of the powdered ones. It's regularly priced at $19.99 at Sams when it is not on sale. Even at the that price it's still over $13 cheaper per 12 shakes. I'm sold. Already added 2 more 12 packs to my weekly order for this Thursday.
