There's a place in Warrington "F Houghton and Family" who are wholesale butchers but also sell to the general public, a friend told me about them - went in today and bought a pack of 5KG fresh chicken fillets for £22. That's £4.40 a KG which is fantastic - excellent quality too and not pumped full of water like supermarket crap.

This may be in here somewhere already, but i just bought my first tub of protein this year. I got Reflex as i had pretty good results before. Got it from Affordable Supplements @ 39.99 but it came with 100 Thermo Fusion Tabs as well. They have some good prices on various proteins at the moment and bars. They range from CNP to Gaspari ect...

Just in case no-one has considered it. But 540g of frozen coley from tesco's is £3 / pack@ £5.56/kg, same with packets of frozen cod.

Frozen fish isn't something that pops to mind with people I know - but some creativity could make tasty meals! I shall be experimenting myself this weekend.

If you find some tasty prep friednly recipies let me know, I failed last year, but just kept shovelling it in, was worth it tho!

Went into Holland and Barrett today. I am usually very polite but I'm afraid for the first time in ANY shop, I declared "I'm not paying £32 quid for that!!!!".

Shop assistant looked very apologetic.

Even they know.

Haven't a clue where to start, because I want to buy it from a shop - don't like ordering online with all the packaging, hassle of getting it through my door etc. My gym isn't selling it and I've nearly gouged my finger out on the sharp plastic edge of the CNP tub I'm trying.

Next!

LOL had to laugh at that myself. Seems expensive.

I think you should all go to EC Protein Distribution instead. No affiliation to myself of course

BDS doesn't stand for Blackburn Distributions by any chance?

"Something like" () £35 for 2kg of powder is not really cost effective.

Worth checking out Blackburn Distributions they offer cost effective options for bulk protein, something like £35 for 2kg.
Hope it helps

very impresive.

personally i find going to a local butcher and buying bulk boxes like 5kg fresh chicken fillets for £22 to be of far better quality to eat and cook with. find that supermarket meat has often got hidden ingredients, and their prices are rarely special offers, ready the small writing and look at the price per KG.
i recommend getting friendly with a quality local butcher, theyll help you with everything.
and i hate giving supermarkets ££££

Farmfoods is having an offer on their frozen chicken breasts. 3 x 1kg packs for £10. Think there might be six breasts to a pack, not bad!
