**DrBee** · 06-20-2006, 09:39 AM

I have yet to open the blue ones. That'll be Friday.

**jeanninep4** · 06-25-2006, 07:22 AM

I cannot find these at my Walgreens. What department did everyone find them in?

**Nanci** · 06-25-2006, 07:39 AM

Candy department.

Sounds like the perfect cure for the "Montezuma's revenge" (intestinal flu) that's been plaguing me since Saturday.

Doesn't it seem wrong that they have the energy bars/sport beans/etc. in the candy isle???

**Lise** · 06-26-2006, 06:30 AM

Weeellllll....they are basically sugar and salt. Maybe they could switch it up and put the Payday bars in the health food aisle! Am I right, Slinke?!

**DrBee** · 06-26-2006, 08:34 AM

True enough Lise, however they also have the clif bars, luna bars, etc. in the candy isle. They're sweet, but it feels wrong to go to the candy isle to get a clif bar. Even Wallyworld had them in the "healthfood" section.

....and every time I read another post about Sport Beans, I stop in at W'greens and buy 6 more packs at 67 cents each!

What will I do come July 1 when they're 99 cents again? Thanks to whomever first posted the month long sale price! L.

In Michigan Walgreens had them in the candy section for $1.00 a bag. Still cheeper than ordering them from the company and paying shipping. They also had Luna Bars for $1.50. I have no idea what they usually sell for. I'm looking forward to trying the lemon zest and somores flavor I bought. Hubby bought and tried the PayDay Pro bar. He said that he didn't care for the taste of them as much as the regular PayDay candy bars.

They are on sale this week at Target for $.89.

I think it is until 7/6. They are in the pharmacy area with the Clif bars and such. My target only had orange and lemon lime.

Thanks for the heads-up on Target. Heading out this morning to stock up. About a week-ago, my Walgreen's was selling the Sport Beans @ 3pkgs. for $2.00. I finally got to try the orange ones. :-)

They were not on sale at my Target

...which is funny because I'd never heard of them until reading posts today. I went out in a shopping frenzy and checked to see what stores carry them here...sadly, only Walgreens (.99/bag and only lime and orange) and my LBS ($1.29/bag but all 4 flavors), but at least I can get them locally! I also got a few Clif and Luna bars to see how I like them. I love Payday bars, and discovered that the regular candy bar is .48 at Wal Mart, but the "pro" Payday is .98!! What's the difference - and those of you who recommended them - did you mean the regular ones or the uber-expensive ones?

I'm going on a 40 mile ride tomorrow as part of my preparation for two upcoming rides - the 65 mile Conquer the Coast (Corpus Christi in September) and my first (fingers crossed) century (Outlaw Trails 100 in Round Rock in October), and I'm looking forward to having these neat things to munch on along the way!

I was told the regular Paydays... the cheap ones are fine and great for long rides.

**gcat** · 07-23-2006, 12:26 PM

These folks have them for $0.89 right now ($0.83 each if you buy a case) and always have them for under a buck -- but you have to add in shipping if you aren't around Palo Alto, CA (you can pick them up from the owner's house in Palo Alto!) Pretty good prices on other stuff too.
