Hi all! I am considering joining Costco and was wondering if anyone knows their prices for ready to drink high protein low sugar shakes like premier protein. I have a "rule" that I won't pay for than $2/shake max ever and I try to spend $1.50 or less most of the time. Target's own brand is only $4.79 on a 4 pack and taste great but they only have chocolate and vanilla.

I used to drink premier presurgery choc and vanilla...now post surgery i only like vanilla weird????

How much is a membership at Costco and Sams .... I think the only thing near me is SAMs though.... Thank you and be blessed

Membership to Sams is 45 i think, and Costco is 55..i have a membership with Costco...i think the shakes are way cheaper there than Sams.

Purchased premiere protein shakes today at Costco. They are normally $ 23.99 but they are an additional $5 off until the end of the month.

Can you get premier shake powder or does it only come in already made shakes? I wish I knew someone I could pay to get mine and ship them but I bet it would be expensive.

I am trying to justify the 55.00 a year fee...from savings on the shakes. Unlike Sams Club, Costco does not offer a military discount on the membership fee.

I priced them elsewhere and even Amazon is atrocious!!

@shmily...maybe you can go in. Half with someone and share the $55 cost for membership!!

costco does offer shipping on their site, and they have a lot more for sale online compared to inside the store. Right now they are honoring the coupon online, as well, so a 2pk of shakes is $39.99 + $6.99 shipping. Not sure how that compares to amazon. A lot of their prices include shipping, too.

*I* personally think a Costco membership is worth it's weight in GOLD. My kids have some food allergies (and so do I) and they have tons of allergy friendly, organic and natural products.

Also, the guy who delivers from my Costco is seriously sexy. AND he puts my order away!

(my husband works there )

My costco is currently only carrying the chocolate. I am considering buying one of the other flavors online. I didn't realize they sold online, but that's good to know. Thanks!

I have been Costco executive for years

and buy my fuel, dog food, and many food staples there. I get a rebate much larger than Costco membership. I have a Costco 15 minutes away so practical for me.

If you don't feel like you're getting anything out of your Costco membership, and/or if you don't save enough to make it "worth it"….their memberships are basically "guaranteed", as in, you can go into the store on day 364 and say "nah, didn't like it" and they'd give you your $55 back.

Do you all know what the first ingredient is?

My surgeons office and nutritionist say that the first ingredient in the protein supplement needs to say - whey protein isolate.

Water, Premier Protein® shake Protein Blend (Milk Protein Concentrate, Calcium Caseinate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Milk Protein Isolate) Cocoa Powder (processed with alkali), Contains 1% or less of the following: High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Inulin, Cellulose Gel and Cellulose Gum, Potassium Citrate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Magnesium Phosphate, DATEM, Salt, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Carrageenan

They carry this powder, too, which is artificial sweetener free: http://www.costco.com/Betty-Lou's™-Low-Glycemic-Whey-Protein-Shake-Powder-Chocolate---2-Pack.product.100013247.html

We had Sams and Costco but when it came time to renew, we kept Sams because they offer a military discount on their membership. They are both the same distance for us. I just got a Costco membership because I did the numbers and with the shakes alone, it will pay for itself in three months, with the price difference. I will pay for Costco and my husband will keep Sams. Sams Club has free shipping on orders of 99.00 or more.
