Default workout crew!! good protein bars from costco??

hey guys. since i dont have my own membership, my friend offered to take me to costco so i could pick up a few things in bulk at costco. while making up a list of stuff, i was wondering, are there any protein bars WORTH buying from there? i dont doubt they have the stuff, but just wondering if any of you guys have had any (good) personal experiences.

if not from costco, any other recommendations for protein bars that are good stuff? thanks doods.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, I'd try different ones from there. Some protein bars are pretty nasty, and the ones that actually taste good, are borderline candy bars.

But I like Cliff Bars. h:

I like the peanut butter/chocolate Pure Protein bars.

Dunno if Costco sells them.

im sure i could pick up protein bars from places like vitamin world, trader joes, etc, but im wondering more of whether i can find good ones in bulk since they tend to be around the $1.50-$2 a bar range.

I think you should try some first, before you pick-up a big 'ol box of them. lol
Maybe get a list of what they have, and buy them individually. It's hit or miss on them. Some really are gross.

Yeah there's a bar that's like white with blue, yellow, and red stripes. I forgot the brand but that's what I buy. 31g protein per bar.
