Because globalism
globalism was what keeped it cheap on the first place
It was $60 for 11pounds in 2020
The demand wasn't as great then. Nowdays every influencer has their own protein, baby formula and other products also need whey. Its no longer a whey-st product.
$220 for 11lb is 16x11 is 176 ounces for the average portion size. They're trying to charge $1.25 a scoop it seems. Thats just them adding the value that protein is 'worth' in normal food, fricking israelites.
Just because a food with 10g protein sells for an extra dollar doesn't mean my powder should reeeeeeee.
I have to wonder if the rise of fitness tiktok/instagram has created demand that's exacerbated the price of whey alongside current shortages/supply chain issues. I'd be curious to see a demographic study done to see how many people have become committed gymgoers and part of the "community", but I swear that fitness tiktok videos--- both instructional and "social media comedy sketch"--- have bled into every corner of my instagram feed. Even basic meme accounts repost some of these vids. It's like a ton of newbies got into lifting during the pandemic and has created a very specific subculture on social media
All I can say is that I'm glad the gym I go to isn't congested with people trying to take videos of themselves for social media or arranging elaborate scenarios for a tiktok comedy sketch. Imagine waiting 25 minutes to use equipment because some guy and his friends want to boost his clout online with a le epic funny gym sketch
You gotta keep in mind that the apps will feed you content you engage with and relate to. If you get into video games you’ll get video game content take over your feed. Go on Instagram and look up some random shit you don’t normally look at like pokemon or cooking and like a few posts and in the new couple days it’ll take your whole feed over. I’ve had a friend tell me statistically there’s been an increase in people going to the gym since before the pandemic but who knows if he’s just chatting bullshit.
>thinking it's demand-related
meanwhile supply of dairy side products (read: whey) has decreased
You're moronic, it's a supply issue not demand

supply costs seem fine, where do you see the supply problem?
Yes. Milk supply dropped. That's why they dumped all those millions of gallons liters down the drain.
This isn't fair bros... I hardly get money from my parents and now they increased the price by 3X.
your local glory hole
I buy expired stuff off ebay and save a lot

Why not just get your protein from food?
There's a way you can get paid to eat protein all night, anon. Let me know if you're interested.
Meat. Meat costs about 1/2 of what protein powder does per gram protein.
nutricost on Amazon still has 5lb whey tubs priced around 50 dollars, as of a week ago. But that could change fast... last month when I reupped on my ON Whey tub, it was about 60. Now it's 75. This shit is getting absolutely out of control, I have no idea how they're marking up so insanely what is ultimately a byproduct of dairy processing
In the meat aisle labeled "chicken"
Chicken went up 1$/lb.
Then just get turkey or pork
You have options and the best one is never EVER powdered bullshit
Whey is one of the best sources of protein
Look for clearance food.
Chicken breast here is approx $5 a lb in the uk. Shit's gone mental.
Oats give me chronic gas. I don't mind, but others do.
Frick man, even chicken is fricking expensive now.
Lockdowns, hope they were worth it
eat ze bugs
seconded. shove some dried crickets from the mexican store into a coffee grinder. the chili chapulines are actually frickin tasty.
whatever it takes, right babe?
There's a solution
cottage cheese is all you need
y-you did put a discount code in right after you took the screencap, right anon??
Even with discounts it's still over double what it used to be in 2019/2020
Oats give you like 5 times the amount of protein per dollar and you get a real meal with it.
Also kino amino profile
>Better amino acid profile than a school child
Wtf have I been doing it wrong?
>kino amino
Oats are pretty filling as well.
oat protein is garbage
See
I saw 5lbs of ISO100 jump to $140, I think it was $70 or $80 before. Though that is sold through Target by a store I never heard of.
I did see some drink mix increase by almost 40% in a week, from $28 to $38
I was able to find 1lb of Orgain protein on sale for for $15.
How about don't buy from myprotein.com?
Buy from Amazon, got it.
I enter "buy protein" in google in my native Eastern European language 600 small online shops selling protein for cheap. Americans are slaves of amazon.
62 euros for 2.5kg is shit, 5kg bags used to cheaper than that
Will two times cheaper than buying from their website directly
No one buys from myprotein for full price, they almost always have a 40-50% discount code
Used to have*
Not quite 40% but its 35% off at the moment. The issue is not the discounts but the base price, which has almost tripled in the past couple years.
Huge milk price increase. Factory on Lithuania that makes whey sells it at 15 eur per kg (1 ton and higher orders only). So 11lb or 5kg would have 75 euro base cost, now add all the marketing, shipping, packagind, taxes etc and you have what you have
You vil eat ze cricket protein
>250 bucks for shitty chinese made whey
>last November, browsing hyperinflation and planned famine schizo threads on /misc/
>starting to get worried because the apocalypse might interfere with my gains
>go out and impulse buy 100lbs of ON protein powder and canned fish "just to be safe"
feels good lads
This hoarder is to blame for the spike in prices. Get him IST.
cheapest on the market bruh. the future is now
Bro, let me see those macros
MyProtein shits are literally the goyslop of fitness
>paying $230 for whey
What an absolute fricking SUCKER
Literally just eat real food.
don't buy from overpriced brands.
Bulknutrients is still cheap
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>NOT MY INDUSTRIAL MILK WASTE PRODUCT!!!
>NOW HOW AM I GOING TO GROW MANbreasts?!
I think you're on the wrong board moron
Whey is basically concentrated milk estrogens and everyone I've seen who drinks it develops gyno over time
source
>seeing gyno threads on fit every day
There is this stuff called meat that isn't poison and it has this preotoin stuff you speak of
Magerquark is 95 cents
I can buy three brands of protein powder.
One is 3.76 calories/gram of mix, 80% protein by weight, with a cost of about 3.5 cents per gram of mix. Onions protein.
Another is 4 cal/g, 80% protein by weight, 4.6 cents/g. Whey protein.
The third is vastly cheaper, at 2.4 cents/g, also 4 cal per gram, but it's only 75% protein instead of 80%. Also whey protein.
Is this 75% vs 80% going to hurt me in the long run, or can I buy the cheaper one?
real food chads just can’t stop winning
>why is X so expensive now?
Federal reserve printed 40 trillion dollars and gave it to banks and corporations over a cold. Now they are rasing the fed fund rate to account for the 20+% inflation they caused. Wah lah stagflation
Jesus Christ, just eat chicken you fricking autists
It's more expensive than whey
Died 15 March 1975 (aged 69)
Could have lived another 5 years if he'd got to bed at a reasonable hour.
man its feels so fricking amazing being a rich neet
you will never understand
I get 10lbs for 120 bucks why are you buying this trash
>Why is a scam so expensive
Eat real food moron, supplements are moron dyel bait
Whey is real food, do you know what it actually is?
Whey is a milk waste product cleverly marketed to make big bucks. Same as your seed oils, homosexual.
Casein is still pretty cheap
can get 4k for about 50 euro
Lot of chinks in this thread who want whey from abroad, cheap.
eat organ meat its a lot cheaper than regular meat.
also go to the supermarkets about 30 minutes before closing time and there is a lot of reduced stuff that you can freeze
i think protein powder and the like are just going to keep getting more and more expensive unfortunately
>organ meat
If it's not grass fed it's literally poison.
yes so buy the grass fed ones. obviously
>buy the grass fed ones
I live next to a city of 5 million and in the entire city I could not find a single market selling grass-fed liver. Even whole foods only has grain fed.
I contacted numerous farmers in my area using the Weston Price Foundation list of sellers and none of them had liver. Of the two that even sold it, one required you buys shares in the cow and both were out of stock. I live in a rich area as well.
That's why I laugh whenever you cum guzzlers come on here and talk about how ez it is to get your based and redpilled grass fed liver. I know you're full of shit and you do too.
american moment
