YMMV: Sam's Club - Vitamin Water 20 pack for $8.11

[JeremiahASEC]

Just happen to see this when I was picking up a case of Monster at Sams last night:

http://www.samsclub.com/shoppi....do?dest=5&item=421315

the price said 9.30 or something but the register rang up at $8.11.

The actual flavors are:

8 Multi-V (White)
8 Focus (Pink)
4 Defense (Dark Red)

It says something about winter pack on the outside so maybe they're clearing them out or something. Either way a great deal.

I got mine at Sam's Club in Fort Wayne, IN

*edit*
Oh and these are the normal 20oz bottles, not the 12's or anything like that.

iirc i thought those first two flavors were pretty bad. maybe that's why they're cheap?

defense is good, though, as are xxx and the green tea and maybe a couple others.

and don't buy the 50cent flavor unless you like dimetapp.

Grape DRINK!

i haven't had the defense, but i really like the multi-v (lemonade) and the focus...so it was a good deal for me.

i actually merchandise for vitamin water (coke)...and formula 50 is by far the worst seller we have lol. the rescue (tea) doesn't do much better though. xxx and power c are the two best sellers.

defense is pretty good, as is multi-v.

The dragonfruit one is delicious.

Just fyi, these have as many sugar calories as coke. They're 80 calories per serving, and two servings per bottle.

If you don't mind it smelling like feet. Tried a power-c before my hockey game Friday and it was good and seemed to work well, but it smelled like feet for some reason, not really strong but noticeable. I would purchase again though.

Where are you getting your facts from? From what I see:

Coca Cola: 97 cal, 27g sugar / 8oz
Vitamin Water: 50 cal, 13g sugar / 8oz

Or, if you can't do the math:

Coca Cola: 242.5 cal, 76.5g sugar / 20oz
Vitamin Water: 125 cal, 32.5g sugar / 20oz

Last I checked "half" and "as many" were very different things...

Great deal, OP, but it's probably only in your local Sam's Club. I haven't seen that deal around here.

I've been buying the Vitamin Water 10 at Sam's. A great deal at the normal price of $12 for a 20 pack.

lol... feet? Neither of them remotely smell like feet. Something was very wrong with the ones you drank. It's possible they sat in the sun for a long tie and started to get rancid. Dragonfruit has a bright melon berry taste and power C has an acidic citrus taste.

 

[JeremiahASEC]

lol i've never heard anyone say they tasted like feet. they do however really lose their color and fade when in lighting, at least florescent lighting. this is the main reason all of their multi-packs are in plastic that makes you unable to see the bottle, so they're not exposed to direct light.

think i'm going back today for more

I think what the poster is trying to say is that a bottle of VT has nearly as much sugar as a can of coke. Either way you look at it 32.5g of sugar per bottle is a heck of a lot of sugar.

Compared to what? Hell, Gatorade has the same amount of sugar as Coke ... VW is comparable to G2.
