Default On-line shopping ... bars?

I'm doing a lazy morning here at the computer I really thought it would be nice to have nutrition bars shipped right to the house, especially during the uncertain driving weather of winter here.
I think I'm liking pria or golean.
Anyone have any sites that they swear by?

I just bought some bars from amazon and they usually have a grocery coupon available (search coupon sites for current one).

Not bars but I buy some stuff from vitaminshoppe as well. I really like their website and they do have some good coupons available at times as well.

For Pria bars:

www.powerbar.com/Store

For Go Lean Bars:
http://kashi.com

Both ship to Canada


For other bars:

www.supplementscanada.com
www.sndcanada.com

I've ordered from all 4 sites and I've never had any issues. I prefer the Canadian sites, but they don't sell the Pria or Go Lean bars.

I get SO frustrated using froogle.com. One of the conditions of froogle is companies signing up HAVE to ship internationally. I'm in Canada and when I get to a website with what I think is a great price, they don't ship to Canada! It's taxing to say the least!

But it is a good site in spite of that.

LOL! Me too!

I haven't actually purchased any bars online. I either round them up at Costco or Trader Joe's. Yesterday, I bought a huge box of Atkins bars for DH and some Kashi bars for me at Costco, so we're taken care of for the next month!

Yeah. I either buy the Detour or Pria bars at Sam's Club myself whenever I'm in the mood for them. I don't get them often enough anyway. If I'm looking for a sweet fix, I just get a small size dark chocolate bar.

My main beef with froogle is actually finding the product i want. some of the bizzare and random items they throw in there just feels like they aren't even trying.

i know how some people feel about walmart, myself included, but they have darn good prices on their bars too.

I got my bars today. I ordered from sndcanada.com. Thanks to Simone
I just snagged some inexpensive ones I had tried before to see how the process went. And it went well.
They have free shipping for over $50 (I think it is) so I'll do that next.
BTW ... I looked at a lot of great sites with great prices but shipping to Canada was the trick ... either they didn't or it was pricey. Also Canada Post seems to randomly ding me for customs. One of these days those bars would be verrry expensive!
I'm happy so far with this. Thanks everyone!
