Musashi Shred & Burn Chocolate Milkshake Protein Powder 900g

Is this one worth buying?

Musashi Shred & Burn Chocolate Milkshake Protein Powder 900g is currently listed at $39.50 at Woolworths, against a usual price of $79.00. That is a large enough single saving to be worth a deliberate trip if you already use this product.

Watch the expiry on anything with dairy or fruit content — flavoured milks and chilled juices are sometimes discounted because they are close to date. Long-life items like coffee, tea and soft drink have long shelf lives and are safe to buy several of. Also be aware that the "was" price on a multipack is calculated against the single-unit price, so the headline discount can look larger than the practical saving over buying the same drink in a big bottle.

Half price specials at both Coles and Woolworths normally run for one week, from Wednesday to the following Tuesday, and the same lines tend to come back on promotion every couple of months. If you miss this one it will very likely return — but the price shown here is the current one, and prices can change without notice.
