Cheapest Possible Way of Getting Musashi High Protein Bars?

Lmystic065 on 14/02/2025 - 22:35

I am looking for the cheapest possible way of getting specifically Musashi High Protein bars, even if I have to order a few hundred at once. I have one every day for lunch, have done for years now very consistently. Only time I don't is when I run out before there's a sale on them. I've heard various things regarding their quality/performance, but that isn't what I am asking about here. I have them because they have a good protein to calorie ratio, they are easy, and I like some of the flavours.

At the moment the cheapest method I know of is going to Chemist Warehouse when there's a sale on and ordering as many as I can for click and collect, but the price on this has risen over the last few years and there's often not a sale on when I run out. A sale meant ~$2.50 per bar when I started eating them and now a good sale is more like $3.70. Is there a cheaper method, like buying in bulk from Musashi directly? I'm willing to get hundreds at a time, but not thousands. The normal prices on the Musashi website are pretty rubbish, even their bulk deal has worse individual prices than CW does. I'm not affiliated with them, that's just what I've observed.

    Does it HAVE to be those bars? Or can we consider alternatives with the same protein content? How in control are you choosing this lunch or is it more like a need to have this lunch?

    My local IGA had those bars for $3 or $3.50 last week, grabbed a couple - definitely not bad. Could you strike up a friendship with a local IGA store and eventually ask if they can order bulk for you?

      I have the ability to change, it's just my lunch, but in my experience fitness people tend to jump at the chance to say you're actually eating something bad/wrong so I wanted to pre-empt that. It's just my lunch, it's easy, and I don't want to change it for now.

      I hadn't considered IGA, I usually assume they're more expensive for most products. I'll take a look around my local ones and see what they've got. Thinking about it, ever since Coles and Woolworths went crazy they haven't been much cheaper than the IGAs I've been to since.

      It's not very nice to take advantage of people like that.

        Well don’t strike up a friendship then, keep it a simple business proposition

    Woolworths/Coles/Chemist warehouse are how I usually buy them. The should have 50% sales, albeit infrequently, so that should bring the price to $3. Musashi also had a black friday sale for 50% off too but with a wider selection. I'd genuinely consider buying 3-6 months worth at a time if you can

    Other than that, I'm not sure. Maybe if you could access a wholesale supply? I don't know if Costco stock them, but they may have something similar?

      Yea last time I saw a 50% sale on Chemist Warehouse I got about 200 of them, but it runs out eventually and I don't usually think about it until it's too late. I check the supermarkets for the 50% off but I haven't seen any lately.

      Last week at Woolies.

    The children crave the mines collagen

    I have one each morning, so as a fellow fiend Coles/Woolies sales at < $3 per bar are the cheapest route.

    Second is a triple pack of boxes from Musashi direct when they are on sale, but you are looking at $140/36 delivered.

  • Boioioioi on 14/02/2025 - 23:18

    Now I want to try! What do they taste like? What are the good flavours?

    • jv on 15/02/2025 - 01:30

      They not that good…

      I only rarely get the choc mint wafer Musashi bar…
      I might eat one or two a month.
      I'm a bit sick of the other ones….

    They were $3 last week at Woolworths. Both Coles and Woolies stock them and have 50% of sales throughout the year.

    Don’t pay? Walk around

  • jv on 15/02/2025 - 01:29

    I have one every day for lunch

    Eat a carrot instead.

    Much cheaper, more filling and better for you.

      better for you

      If you want to waste away and look like a 1980s AIDS victim / modern vegan (with good eyesight).

    • CaptainJack on 16/02/2025 - 17:56

      That's not how nutrition works. Try some tuna.

      • jv on 16/02/2025 - 22:34

        Not for Vegans

        • CaptainJack on 17/02/2025 - 11:19

          So fine for OP.

          • jv on 17/02/2025 - 11:31

            @CaptainJack: Are you assuming their dietary preferences ???

            • CaptainJack on 17/02/2025 - 11:34

              @jv: Yes, as are you.

              • jv on 17/02/2025 - 11:35

                @CaptainJack: I made no mention of the OP's dietary preferences.

                • CaptainJack on 17/02/2025 - 11:35

                  @jv: You assumed they like carrots. I assumed they like tuna.

                    I made no mention of whether they liked them or not.

                    • CaptainJack on 17/02/2025 - 11:38

                      @jv: So you don't care about their dietary preferences. Then why should I?

                      • jv on 17/02/2025 - 11:44

                        @CaptainJack:

                        I've made no assumptions, I made a suggestion.

                        • CaptainJack on 17/02/2025 - 11:54

                          @jv: A bad one. Hence the tuna.

                            maybe, but no assumption.

    50% sale off at Woolies stacked with your monthly 10% mobile discount, plus pay with a discounted gift card, then make use of your 4c per litre fuel discount afterwards.
