I recently tried quest bars for a small daily protein snack and loved them, only problem is they’re expensive. I went to my local GNC and asked if they had any in bulk and, to my delight, they did. But the 12 pack is 25.99. This confused me as I thought that sounded pricier than the mere 4 pack. I got just one box because I was already out and didn’t feel like going to Walmart but found out quickly I was right. A 4 pack is $7.59 making the price less than 2 dollars a bar. 12 bars at 25.99 is over 2 dollars a bar. Did I get scammed or does quest price their products like this intentionally?
Quest bar prices
They’re $22-24 for a box of 12 on Amazon. Sounds like that might be a GNC thing. 🤷♀️ I got two 12-count boxes of Birthday cake bundled together for $41 the other day.
I think I just discovered a marketing ploy. My receipt claimed that if I ordered them through GNC every month I’d receive a 10% discount. That would put them at regular price
I really hate GNC. 😂
Yeah I don’t think I’ll continue business there
I eat Quest Bars daily. Sam's Club sells Quest Bars in 14 packs for $21. They are $4 off right now, til the end of the month. They only sell them in a dual pack of cookie dough and cookies n cream though. They also sell the Quest Chips. I find GNC over priced, so I buy all my protien and preworkout directly from the manufacturer or in bulk elsewhere.
GNC is more expensive for a lot of things. 21.00 a box on Amazon.
I get 15 percent off with the Subscribe and Save feature on Amazon. You have to have five separate items so I have various flavors of Quest bars and protein powder. The boxes are 12 count and I pay 18-21 dollars per box, depending on the flavor. It’s the cheapest I’ve found them so far.
Meijer, a Midwest store chain(like Wal-Mart) frequently puts the bars and chips on sale 3/$5.
Go to Aldi and get their Elevation bars. They have a large variety of flavors, and come out to $1 to 1.25 per bar.
Amazon is always the cheapest I find them. Sometimes they are at Grocery Outlet if you have those where you live.
Sometimes Fred Meyers and also Amazon has them on sale. Target also has a decent price on them.
GNC is overpriced as fuck.
I also find WalMart cheaper than GNC
I wait for sales and stock up. I buy the 12 pack boxes of quest bars whenever they go under $15/$16.
I don't really like the Quest bars, but I love the chocolate chip cookies. It's my one treat, and I eat one a day. I order them in bulk from my local convenience store. He sells them to me for a little more than he pays, and I get several boxes at a time. I generally save about half of retail.
I order tons for my bf, and during hard to find sale times, we order from vitaminshoppe.com. They typically have things like buy 1 get 1 50% off sale. Then they have coupons for $10 off $50, and if you do auto-delivery, you get an extra 10% off each one. I know it's a lot of combos but that's the best price you can get. When they ship the product to you, you just go into the profile setting and cancel the auto-delivery subscription. We typically get a box of 12 for about $16-19 (depending on sales and coupons). Oh I also shop through shopping portals like rakuten for cashback.
