- CamelCamelCamel — tracks Amazon price history. Set alerts for when ON Creatine drops

Creatine Price Comparison
Per 5g serving, as of early 2026:
BulkSupplements 1kg bag
~$0.07/serving
ON Micronized (120 servings)
~$0.17/serving
MuscleTech Platinum
~$0.20/serving
GNC House Brand
~$0.30/serving
Bottom line: BulkSupplements is the cheapest. ON is what you already have and it's solid. Don't buy creatine at GNC — you're paying 4x more for the same molecule.
Aldi Money Hacks
Hack
Wednesday = New Ad Day
Aldi's new weekly ad starts Wednesday. Hit the store Wednesday morning for best selection on Aldi Finds (limited stock items like protein bars, collagen powder, meal prep containers).
Hack
Buy Produce in Season
Mangos, berries, avocados — prices swing hard by season. Buy frozen berries year-round (same nutrition, way cheaper). Mangos are cheapest April-August. Stock up on Aldi's frozen fruit blends for shakes.
Hack
Family Pack Chicken = Best Price
Aldi's family pack chicken breast is usually $1.99-2.49/lb — cheaper than any other grocery store. Buy 2 packs, freeze one. Same goes for ground turkey. Thighs are even cheaper ($1.49/lb).
Hack
Aldi Brands to Trust
- Friendly Farms Greek Yogurt — same as Chobani, half the price
- Simply Nature Oats — same as Quaker, $2 less
- Happy Farms Eggs — $2-3/dozen, quality is fine
- Earth Grown — their plant-based line (if she wants plant options)
- Elevation Protein Bars — when in stock, $5 for a box of 4 (vs $12 for Quest)
Gym Gear Deals
Save
Meal Prep Containers
Don't buy branded "fitness" containers. Get glass containers from Aldi ($8-10 for 5-pack) or Amazon Basics ($15 for 10-pack). Same thing, no markup. Glass > plastic.
Save
Blender Bottles
Dollar Tree and Five Below carry shaker bottles for $1-5. The $30 BlenderBottle brand is the exact same thing with a logo. Save your money.
Save
Gym Clothes
Walmart's Athletic Works and Amazon Essentials gym shorts/shirts are $8-12 each. Don't pay $50 for Gymshark to do the same thing. You're here to lift, not model.
The real savings math: BulkSupplements creatine + ON whey on Subscribe & Save + Aldi groceries = roughly $60-80/week for BOTH of you. That's cheaper than eating out 3 times. The gym investment pays for itself in health savings long-term.
