Where do you buy Quest Bars?

I'm a big fan of these and was wondering where others were buying them from. Currently I've been ordering them form vitacost.com as they offer the same price as directly from Quest and have free shipping if you buy enough (I usually buy three boxes at a time). They also often have sales where they take money off depending on how much you spend.
I live in the U.S. and get them at $24.99/box (of 12 bars). Anybody else getting a better deal?

I think that's about the best you can do really.0

I was kind of expecting that but thought I'd try. I just got three more boxes delivered and figured it wouldn't hurt to see if somebody else is holding out some bargain place .0

No it definitely doesn't hurt to ask because if someone is getting them cheaper I'd like to know too. I've never bought a box at once. I'm nervous I'll go through them too fast, even though I know I'm wasting money buy them 1-4 at a time.0

24.99 is a fake sale price. Quest inflates a box of bars for $30+ and then they are sold pretty much everywhere - including from Quest - for the fake sale price of 24.99.
I refuse to buy a box for more than $20. I get them from Drugstore dot com. They have sales often on their sports and nutrition department, and cashback drugstore dollars that can be used towards future purchases (like future boxes of bars). They also have more things to buy than just health stuff, so it's also convenient for me.
GNC and Vitacost and Quest even might have better deals sometimes, but I've never caught them. I've heard about some great deals after the fact, though.

See! Worth asking. I'm going to check out that site.0 -
They're all 24.99 on drugstore.com right now.0

Yeah, $24.99 is the price everywhere. You gotta get them when they have sales on sports and nutrition department. They also include some flavors of Quest on sale when their "green and natural" department is on sale. Sales on their departments are usually 15-20% off.
Get on the mailing list to be notified of sales. Every few months or so I get a notification with the sale I'm interested in.

Yeah, I won't buy from GNC because they don't offer discounts until you join their club for which they charge some fee and then they're not that great.
@z304: I'll have to see if my 7-11 carries them. Thanks!

I keep them in a cupboard in my kitchen so they're "out of sight out of mind". I only have them on days I'm working out so it actually takes me about a month to go through a whole box.

Trader Joe's also carries them ,but only three flavors. I don't think the box price is any lower than $24.99. The individual bar price is $2.39.0

$20 per box at local supp stores in my area!(: you can mix and match too as long as it adds to a box worth! This is in the San Diego area!0

I buy them in bulk from websites like vitacost, iherb, vitaminshoppe, lucky vitamin etc. They always have sales and coupon codes like 20% off, 10$ off etc that I combine and end up getting 5 boxes for 80-100 usually.0

My buddy works for a Quest distributor & she keeps me stocked with bars & protein powder...otherwise I get the from HEB.0

I buy mine from kroger, I don't want a whole case--just a few, they are 2 for 5 which is perfect for me0

Publix and 7/11 carry them here. I don't know what Publix charges, but 7/11 had them for $2.50. Both had limited selection.
I tried the white chocolate and raspberry one. It was good. Not great, but edible, for sure, which is more than I can say for the protein bar I tried last year, which I threw away. I think the one that was disgusting had a name of two guys on the label, like Lenny & Benny or Larry & Carl or something...but I'm not sure. It might not even be two guys...but if you see two guys' names on the label, skip that one, IMO.
I kind of wanted more when I was done with the Quest bar, though. I don't know what was in that thing, but if I'd had another, I might've eaten another. I can see people craving those things. But at $2.50 per bar (7/11), I'll eat real food and not worry about it, lol.
That's a lot of money for a bar.0 -
My Golds sells them at 2 for $3. best price I have ever seen them for.0
-
I havent been able to get better than $24.99 for a box of 12. Even my local grocery store sells them for that. Vitacost sends me coupons and then I can get like 10% or 12% off and that helps. Otherwsie though...they seem to be like Nike shoes or Levi jeans and are price "fixed".0

Jet.com typically has them for less than $24.99 a box. The more you buy, the greater the discount. They're offering a free 3 month membership at the moment.0

I buy them at work. I work at a health food store, so I can buy them 25% off. $18.70 a box, or $1.90 for singles.0

Wow, you are lucky!0 -
Either Quest's own website or Amazon. Whenever I've gone to GNC or Vitamin Shoppe their selection is very underwhelming, plus I like the newest flavors better (got a S'mores and Mint Chocolate Chunk last week).0
-
Local GNC store. Online GNC or online Quest website. Hy Vee has them 12 bars for $24.99 and today you get 10% off that price so takes $2.50 off them and you also get gas points too!0
-
I check between GNC and amazon. Every now and then they go on some buy 3 get 1 free sale and I stock up. Still sitting on a case I picked up and after the breakdown 1.29/bar.0

I know. I get 25% off all supplements and 20% off all grocery items (and off everything that our attached raw foods cafe sells,). Anything that we don't stock I can special order and still get my discount. Plus, I can get the expired stuff for free. It rocks.0 -
I got a really good deal on the peanut butter supreme ones today! Our grocery manager ordered the wrong flavor (we only carry the ones that don't have sucralose, and the peanut butter quest bars have it,) so all of the ones that were ordered by accident were discounted to $1.75 a bar. With my discount, they came out to $1.31 a bar. Ah, the benefits of the almighty employee discount!0

EBay sometimes has some for 18.50 a box just keep checking and Allstarhealth has the cheapest ones online. Or if they don't they'll match it.0
