supavan Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 What the hell with the prices being charged for energy drinks these days? (I don't mean Red Bull)A while ago I was fortunate enough to get a few tins of Enervit G-Sport at cost. I paid R80 for a 450 gram tin. It was a once-off deal. I really prefer Enervit's products as they work well for me and don't have any funny after tastes and disolve easily. (I used to use USN's Cyto Power - the lemon-lime flavour is not bad, but disolving is a mission) So I have to buy from retailers now. Guess what these guys are selling at? Between R190 and R208! That's dailight robbery. I'm not saying they should give it away but that's more than 100% markup. Definately not cricket
Overlord Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 The moment you support a product in SA the prices gets knocked up. Old practice in this country.
Evan Andreou Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Try paying between 320 and 450 for Cytomax, depending on where you buy
AndreZA Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 My Energade is R20 for 5 liters. Sometimes on special for R16.99. And available in 5 fruity flavours.
supavan Posted April 8, 2008 Author Posted April 8, 2008 I started out using Energade and it's a fine drink.... .... for funriders

Grantc Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Try paying between 320 and 450 for Cytomax' date=' depending on where you buy[/quote'] W - Buy it directly from Cytomax in PE and you will be paying in the region of R250 (that's what I paid last time for the 2kg tub - worked out cheaper per litre than Energade)Get together with a couple of mates to share the postage.
dirtrider Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Half water other half apple juice is the best energy drink you could want and it is very cheap . For recovery any SAB product works fine .
AndreZA Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I started out using Energade and it's a fine drink.... .... for funriders I've spent thousand of rands trying all sort of stuff. From Cytomax, Biomax, USN, Evo and none work FOR ME like Energade does. An yes, I am a funrider so I do not need all that fancy stuff because if I don't perform, like 99% of the wannabes, I don't need to blame my equipment.
Marius Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 R290 for 2.04kg Cytomax BG?? Can't be, Keith is then selling it direct for R300????
bored girl Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 R290 for 2.04kg Cytomax BG?? Can't be' date=' Keith is then selling it direct for R300????[/quote'] Just asked....was mistaken..... Was actually R275,99.... And that was like 3 days back....
NC_lurker Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Marius, Dischem has been slightly cheaper for a while. Perhaps they buy a few more than 1 tin each time and therefore get a slightly better price from keith..
