If You Ever Buy Atkins Shakes:

SecondTimeAround · 11-04-2009, 10:08 AM

I just found six packs (yes, SIX packs!) at Wal-mart for the same price as the four packs. Just throwing that tip out there. I hope they're around for a while, but you never know.

Awesome, always wished they made 6 pks! Thanks for the tip, I will watch for them on Friday when I go!

I have gotten them at my Walmart before, but haven't seen them in awhile. Also the 6packs were only available in the Milk Chocolate Delight. I like them cuz they're only 1 carb, but Mocha Latte is my absolute FAVE!!!! I will look for them again...TFS

Wow, really 6 packs? I never saw those. Hmmm... I will check out my Walmart this weekend.

Just check the date on them.....just sayin

Yes, they were only in the Milk Chocolate Delight. As a matter of fact, they were out of DH's Mocha Lattes altogether.

Mine are dated 02/17/2010.

Awesome.

i buy them whenever i see them in sale. health food stores will sometimes have them on sale but look at the expiration date. my kids drink them in the morning because they tell me they are not hungry until lunch if they do...if they eat a bagel or drink a sugar filled breakfast drink they are starving before lunch. i use them if i am hungry before a meal..i drink it then i eat 1/2 of what i would for 160 calories. they are great

How much do they cost? Do they taste good or do they have that chalky taste like slimfast has?

At our Walmarts in Kansas City, they are $5.96 per pack (usually four, but now six). I use them to keep up my vitamin intake and for a VLC treat (1-2 grams per, depending on the flavor). The milk chocolate and the mocha latte taste great to me, but if I remember right the non-brown flavors (strawberry and vanilla) aren't as good. kinda vitaminy. Of course, everyone's tastes are different...

When my husband had a toxic reaction to an antibiotic, he lost all his flavors. Not only that, everything tasted revolting.

The ONLY, and I mean ONLY thing he could consume were the Atkins Strawberry shakes. Those things probably saved his life... they at least kept him going until he could eat red meat and eggs again.
