This puzzling. I went to Walmart this morning. They did finally have the small size Pure Protein bars but they were the regular price, they were $7.74 I think for a box of 6 or $1.67 each.
So I went to the front of the store and got a flyer. The flyer was valid till Tuesday but the bars were,t in it.

So I thought there must be different flyers for different areas as evepet is in Ontario.
But then I see lindsay is in Red Deer and I was in the Walmart in Vegreville and they obviously have different flyers. The flyer I looked at said for walmart Super Centers, so I guess they have different types of stores. I don't want to go into the city before I have to go in for the work week so I hope they still have some on Monday.

I saw it on www.proteinwell.ca under the entrees with the spaghetti & chile

note: I just went the site and both the pizza and chile are gone - they may just be out of stock, check back again in a few days...

I really hope that they get it back at proteinwell.ca... I'd love to get some too, but I'm not up for the shipping charges from the US-based companies.

BTW - I did buy the Pure Protein bars today at Walmart's special rollback price. (Hope you're able to find it locally, Patns). I had one for my afternoon snack a while ago - it's the Chocolate Deluxe type - seriously tasty. I feel like I totally cheated and ate a chocolate bar. I sliced it into little pieces and savored every piece. My local Walmart has that type in stock, and also the Chocolate Peanut Butter type.

And - I also have stewed rhubarb ready for dinner dessert tonight! All these tasty things to eat... I'm in heaven... LOL. And my cup of rhubarb (in addition to my regular 2 cups of dinner veg) will replace the value of the cup of celery (now a freebie) that I blended into my tomatoe & basil soup for lunch - works out perfectly.

I used DietDirect.com. But I think Nashua is less expensive.

Ordered a bunch of Proti-Diet and Proti-Thin today. Going to use less of the IP products as the cost is just so high, and I am just half way to my goal of one hundred pounds to lose. I am hoping my selections taste as good as the IP products. Can't wait to try the pizza!

I gave in and ordered some from Nashua. I had been checking proteinwell and never was able to see it.
I was thinking that maybe there was different ingredients in it with what is approved in Canada. But if it was on proteinwell it must be approved to sell in Canada.

I am starting maintenance and I am thinking these pizzas would be very handy when I get home from work late and need something quick and easy.
I will keep checking proteinwell because if I am going to order more I sure would like to avoid the shipping costs.

I find these products great. Some people say the IP products are the best but I am just as happy with protidiet and protithin stuff.


By the way would anyone in Canada like some protidiet pasta? It tastes Ok, not exactly like real pasta. I realized after I got it that I am not really a fan of real pasta either.
I will cover the postage, I just hate to see it going to waste in my cupboard everytime I open the door.

Being three weeks into alternatives, I'm still trying new things. Bars and shakes are great, but I like variety. I've found a couple of things I'll highly recommend. The first I know is not restricted, the second, might be.

Proti-Thin Chocolate Sweet Rolls
Calories 90, Total Fat 1g, Total Carbohydrate 5g, Dietary Fiber 1g, Sugars 2g, Sugar Alcohol 0g, Protein 18g

Weightloss Systems Creamy Cheesecake Pudding
Calories 120, Total Fat 4.5g, Total Carbohydrate 8g, Dietary Fiber 0g, Sugars 6g, Protein 12g

I added WF Blueberry Syrup to the cheesecake pudding. Really good.

I don't think the cheesecake pudding would be restricted. It has 8 grams of carbs. It is above 8 that is resticted I think.

I did have the sweet rolls and liked them. But the first one I make I cooked as it said to on the package. It tuned out hard as a rock on the outside. The rest of them I turned the oven down 50 degrees and they turned out great.

Nashua is having a sale on HealthSmart Puddings boxes of 7 for $10

bump
page 4.. really?!

What a pile of new treads with one or two postings in each one?????
This one was way down. Would have disappeared altogether if Cassi didn't bump it.

Maybe everyone got all the alternative questions sorted out.

Pat

I just wanted to pop in and thank all of you for all of your suggestions. recently I have moved into doing 90% alternatives and yesterday my son started on all alternatives. I placed a new order yesterday at nashuanutrition after scouring this thread for ideas so we both have enough food and I saved a truck load of money. So thank you.

I too have started alternatives. I am not a super loser,even being 100% OP, so this is the better way for me. I like the protidiet products but I have noticed the vanilla pudding is way to thin for some reason. I put 4 oz water in it a stir like crazy but it still is liquidy.

Me too. I've made two purchases from Nashua both about $150, you get a free shaker at that point and two free samples

I don't care for their omelets but the bars, soup, shakes, soy nuts and puffs are great for me. And half price. Last week the bars were on sale, I bought 4 boxes and doubles of most other products, now I have even more selection at home and almost the same at work in one of my file drawers

I did look at the omelet package and they are smaller and the calories and carbs were higher. It also bugs me that most of the measurements are in MLS not ounces but with their shaker the mils are marked and their shaker is 25 ounces. Shipping is wicked quick, they are only a state away in NH.

So the Herb and Cheese Omelet and the Peanut Puffs are my FAVORITE IP foods so those have been a few I order every week.
