Price Increase for IP Products
 

I had my weekly weigh-in this evening, and there was a sign on the counter indicating that prices are mandated by the IP company to increase on March 1. Individual items will go up $1 each to $5, and boxes will go up .95 per box. That makes no sense to me at all. I don't like to buy the boxes bec/ I don't want to have to eat the same 3 IP foods all week. Does anyone know anything about this? Thank you.

Where do you live? I had my WI on Friday and did not see anything posted nor was anything said.

This is exactly why I switched to alternatives, the last time I went to my coach she encouraged me to buy as much as I could buy then cause the IP products were going to get more expensive, so instead of buying more I stopped buying completely and invested my time and what is left of my money to start using alternative products and never looked back and that was like 4 months ago.

We receive a monthly newsletter by email and the price increase is going from $4.00 to $4.15 per packet or from $27 to $28 for a box...at least where I go. We are allowed to purchase individual packets at the weight loss center I go to. I had not heard anything about a price increase before today. The newsletter said that there had not been a price increase in 6 years....everything else is going up...I think I will finish up on IP as I don't have much more to go. However, my husband is going to start after I get to Phase 3 and I think I am going to recommend he try alternative products. They seem to work for others!

I live in Baton Rouge, LA. I am very suspicious about the large increase for individual packets. I've been reading all evening about the alternative products that others have tried, and I'm going to switch. All I get from the place where I go is a weigh-in and measurements taken. I can do those things at home.

Interesting. I just ordered a bunch of stuff from ITG and didn't see any mention of a price increase. I order by the box though so it may be different elsewhere. It's also interesting that when I used to go to a clinic and buy the packets individually they were $4.29 each, and we didn't have the option of buying boxes. It's amazing how much prices differ between places!

Prices actually went up for me back in December. They went from $27 a box to $29 a box. My clinic won't sell them indiviually. I no longer go to my clinic.

I haven't heard of price increases either, but I already pay $30 a box so hopefully they won't go up any higher. It already bugs me paying that much when everyone else is paying less.

My clinic didn't mention anything yesterday when I went in. They used to do full boxes but started doing individual packets about 5 months ago and it's great for trying something new without the committment of a whole box. In the long run, I bet they sell more variety that way. I wonder if your clinic is charging more because of the extra time involved in filling packet orders vs box orders?

I pay $4.00 / packet (and they sell them as packets or boxes), so it's $28 / box. I'm just glad I'll be done soon 'cause I'm tired of spending this money on this...BUt it's all good!!! :)

Today at my clinic there was no mention of an increase. Still paying 27.00 per box. Today I had to buy double the amount because we'll be out of town next week. My daughter is almost done, then at least I can stop the bleed a bit.

Maybe the cost of shipping has gone up because of the cost of gas?

All I know, is yay alternatives!

I am so upset to read all of this... $4.00 a pack, I WISH!!!! My clinic charges me $9.00 and at 3 a day that $27.00 and at a week.... well I'm broke! If prices go up more, I'm done!

I think most places charge around $4 a packet. I pay a bit more but $9 sounds awfully high. You might want to go to another clinic and report that one.

It's because she lives in Canada. I couldn't imagine paying that kind of money on anything (even the American prices). I know its worth it, but as a broke college student I struggle to even buy cereal.
