DO YOU guys take correct serving size?

The label reads take 1-2 scoops to water or milk. take 2 servings 3x a day. Does this mean drink 2 full cups of this drink 3x a day? Okay so thats total 6 servings a day. the 2-lbs container saids 32 scoops. So doing the math this $30 product lasts me a mere 4-5days!?? Am I blind or this is correct ? And I heard (im still a beginner) that you need CREATINE and PROTEIN and other supplements. AND IS THIS A RIP OFF????

Even with promos and disc. and BOGO free (GNC) and buying biggest container comes out to be $120+ a month for one. IS THIS HOW MUCH YOU GUYS ARE SPENDING?? WOW!

Creatine you can get at your door step for around 20 bucks after taxes and shipping and this should last you about 3 months or more. Fish oil at 13 bucks at Walmart for 300 enteric coated caps! Vitiman C dirt cheap, 2 months of Sublingual B Complex 6 bucks and the Multi's around 13 bucks for 3 months. I use too smoke, drink and drug all at 1 time and the above is much much much more cheaper let alone healthier so I look for quality at best prices and then go for it! -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

I take Animal Pak (multi) and I get that for less than $17 for a can of 44 paks. I take creatine and EAAs as well. I'm spending somewhere around $30 a month on average for supplements. You can find cheaper supplements if you look. Yeah, GNC is convenient but they drain your wallet.

They used to carry a different brand, same size and same price but it seemed to be a better blend. But I'm poor so I'll probably keep using this stuff. ============ Quoting from jbennett: I get a 6lb bag of EAS whey at Sam's club for less than $25. That's where I also buy my Omega-3 caps.
