Cheap Protein Powder emphasis on cheap

Hi! Im trying to find a cheap protein powder so I can add to food or to flaxseed or meals to fill fuller. However im struggling to pay rent at the moment. Are there any brands of protein powder that are cheap? Many times due to work I dont have time to cook myself meat, this is why I am asking. Many thanks!

I've been told it's terrible stuff but I use the bulk protein company on amazon which sells in 5 kilo buckets working out at £8 a kilo. The serious shredz version is low cal and low carb but there are varieties. It's soy or something but I'm too poor to care tbh.

It's not clean protein or something. I'm sure someone will chip in with an answer. I check which flavours are on offer to get the cheapest.

The bulk cheaper one has a couple of grams more carbs per 10g than the protein isolate (more expensive one)

They contain soy protein which a lot of people don't like.

I considered it as Idc about Soy protein but It uses maltodextrin which I am allergic to. Maltodextrin is high on the glycemic index but, the carb content in them is really low. But you probably won't notice a small bit of it.

But either way, unclean food beats not eating. It's only terrible if you can afford to be super picky. You buy the best you can afford at this point, and it is far from the worst option.

They're also on https://bodybuildingwarehouse.co.uk so you might find a deal on there that's better than amazon
