protien and vitamins? where do you shop?

I went to GNC yesterday, got an unflaored protien and a vanilla powder shake mix too.  I think I spent wayyy to much $ on them.  I got a chewable mutlivitamin, biotin (which I need to return- it is capsules), and the 2 protiens.  Total was $115.  Guy really didn't let me feel I could browse the store- I wasn't even in the door and got attacked with a "can I help you find something".  I took my list out, and he grabbed the products off the shelf.  I guess they just carry thier own brands of things now- no one else's.  They didn't have any calcium citrate in a chewable or liquid- that I am still going crazy looking for.  If anyone has any suggested places they get thier suppliments- (unfortunately- no time for online shopping at this point- but if you have websites with good deals- pass em on for the future too) Trying to get everything in place and ready for Weds, mostly just these last items to get, and spring clean the house. 

I did the GNC thing right before & after I was in the hospital. Worked o.k. with few complaints.  I bought the Calcium supplements there & suffered a kidney stone a few months later.Not one of my smarter purchases  . I believe that a health/food nutrition store works better regarding the vitamins/minerals.  You have more choices.     Good luck!

Maybe try "Wholefoods" on North Main Street, E. Prov.? I love that place for all my favorite grains. They have so much shtuff! And the people who work there are very helpful. Good Luck! Jules

For vitamins, I seem to find what I need at walmart or cvs. I look for the buy 1 sales. CVS has their brands B1G1free this week. I do buy protein powder at GNC usually.. but they do have some in Shaws and Whole foods. Im not so sure about online, but if I come accross any.. ill post it for you.

There is also a Whole Foods in Garden City in Cranston now.  I have purchased a few things to try before my surgery (haven't tasted anything yet).  I did see a few reviews for their items online and people seemed to like the vanilla protein shakes.

I saw CVS for vitamins- but already after I got my chewable multi's at GNC.  They didn't have the calcium citrate in a chewable- my last thing I need.  I was online and saw Vitamin Shoppe carried it in both a chewable and liquid- so I am going there monday to grab it, may check out whole food while I am down that end of the state.  Thanks all for ideas!
