I run out of protein, and decided to search for the lowest price on this particular product, the lowest price I found was in ebay ($85):
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/OPTIMUM-NUTRITION-100-WHEY-GOLD-C…
So I bought it there, The package arrived next day! :) and it included a promo code of 7% discount on their website, which takes the price down to $78.96
I thought I may share this with the OzBargainers.
Good price for ON.
I grabbed samples from a few of the local cheap options but they all tasted average to bad and didn't mix very well. I'd rather pay slightly more for something I look forward to consuming :)
Plus you can be reasonably certain the nutritional information is accurate.
It's a bit of a lucky dip otherwise. See:

Interesting read. Thanks for the links.
i remember paying something like $18or $28 for 2lb of this stuff from vitacost
why the huge difference in price
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Double Rich Chocolate — 2.07 lbs $27.99 (all flavours the same price)
Delivery $9.99
Discount by using code THANKUQSW7 -$2.80
Total USD $35.18 —> AUD $38.92
5lbs is about 2.41 times bigger than 2.07lbs.
2.41 x 38.92 = $94 delivered
$78.96 is significantly smaller than $94. The Vitacost option will take about a month, this will take a couple of days. The vitacost option doesn't come with a shaker.
Price for the 5lb Optimum Nutrition @ Vitacost is $54 + $36 for postage to Australia
TOTAL is $90 & postage time (12 to 25 business days according to Vitacost)
For fast shipping and a well recognised brand, very good price. It's about ~$90 shipping from au.bodybuilding.com/iherb.com/vitacost.com even after discount coupons and they take about a month to get it to you.
That said, not everyone cares about the brand. If you don't care about the brand there are equally quick but cheaper options.
