I'm not posting this in the Protein subforum because it's likely a short-time thing and I think it may benefit people out there.

I finally stopped by a GNC yesterday to try one of these drinks. Normally $5+ per bottle, "apple melon," "grape frost," and one other flavor that I can't remember were marked down to $1.34 each. I asked if it was a nation-wide markdown or just for my local store and was told, "Probably nationwide." This is a significant savings and I know a lot of people here rely on these drinks, so it might be worth a call to your local GNC. I stopped by a 2nd store thinking I'd stock up more and they only had the "apple melon" but it too was marked down. So it's at least more than one store (though they could have the same owner).

I tried a grape frost lastnight and thought it was pretty good. The thickness of Protein Drinks has been making them very hard for me to drink, my sleeve doesn't like thick things at all. This goes down nicely. And Walmart carries a generic Mio that comes in plain grape. Together, I'm actually digging protein drinks again. Haven't tried the apple one, and I didn't buy any of the third flavor that was marked down because it didn't sound like something I'd like.

I tried some before surgery & didn't like the aftertaste, but for that price maybe I could deal with the aftertaste! That is a great price if it's nationwide.

Last night I looked online and the best price I could find still averaged out to $2.90/bottle (with a coupon) or $3.32 standard. So that price is definitely great.

I didn't think I'd like them, but I'm kinda digging the grape. It's a bit weird, but with that Walmart Mio stuff, it's good. I did put it in the freezer for a bit to get it as cold as possible. I don't think I'd like it neary as much if it warmed. It just had "that" taste to it.

Best is that so far I can drink it almost like Water & drink several mouthfuls at a time. Regular RTDs or home mixed usually take me over an hour.

My gnc is just across the street from my house so of course I ran straight over lol but it was a no-go here I'm in southern West Virginia. Thanks for the heads up anyway!

I will be stopping at GNC on my way home from work. Grape is the only flavor I can tolerate but I think I will take your idea and add some Grape Mio to it. Hopefully this deal is going on here! Thanks for the tip!

I drank those for 2 weeks following surgery. I swear by them. Maybe I will pick up some more for those days when I don't feel like eating much.

Vitamin store has then on sale here in Ohio as well. I only drink then after putting mio in them. Then they taste great.
