Trader Joe's just posted on their website that they now sell Quest bars (to my knowledge, previously only available at GNC and Vitamin Shoppe-type physical stores.) The price isn't quite as good as Amazon, but still better than other brick-and-mortar stores' prices. They don't carry every flavor, but they have cookies and cream, cookie dough, and s'mores.

    I will just run to aisle 5 and pour as many sweet n low packets down my throat as I can stomach. Same effect. I can't get past the taste it leaves me with. I wanted to like them too :/

    If you're looking for something that has a similar profile to Quest Bars but tastes a little different, you can try Manbake bars. Similar amounts of protein and fiber. You may or may not like the taste better.

    if I could ever get through the wine section without my arms being completely full perhaps one day I'll pick one up on the way out.

    I was shocked to see them at my local grocery store last week. They are becoming easier to find, but I personally prefer the taste of Kind bars.

    Fred Meyers in the Pacific NW now carry them. I had one for the first time last week. It was tasty, but I would rather eat a smaller meal or a copious amount of watermelon.

    I picked up some that were going out of date in a few months for 0.99 a piece at a GNC.

    For protein bar, pretty good stuff. Though they make no claim on the protein as to % of DV and it has to be 2% of the DV/gram for a "complete" protein. A lot of bars that load crummy protein (like collagen) get protein that isn't really as useful as it could be.

    lol I always get taken in by their seasonal beers. I've learned to just not even look at the frozen dessert section.

    HA. I'm pretty boring on beer- I usually grab Yuengling from a local place- cheap and consistent- serves my needs. But wine- I'll branch out cheaply. It's not really on my way- and there are way to many Yuppies that shop there- so I have a hard time trying to get myself up that way. LOL... So yeah- wine- as full as I can get- and out. I stick to Talenti for dessert and it's easier LMAO

    For $2.39 a bar, the thing better open itself, break itself up into several pieces and have all of them do a little hula dance to entertain me, too.

    And people say eating fresh food is too expensive!
