Has anyone actually SEEN this anywhere? (Product search in Toronto)

I've seen some rave reviews for a protein powder from PC that doesn't break the bank.
I've been to 5 places so far that sell PC products, but I find Zilch.

Has any one eyeballed this product recently?
Thanks so much.

    Thanks so much guys! I did finally find all the PC small containers, and like Vidal says.. another product I didn't know about, the 900g PC Whey ($35.99?) and Soy powders, ($30.99?). They are SUCH a better deal than the mixes I found at GMC... which for the most part were over $60 for essentially the same thing. I tried the Whey powder, 900g PC (Which I finally found at a No frills in the pharmacy area at Dufferin location) so I gave it a try. It's doable, (the Whey one). It mixed great, and was nearly flavourless aside from a milky aftertaste. Two days later I was at the Lawblaws near Dundas west station at the LCBO, and I was curious.. so I went into the grocery store, and they had an Exact brand, chocolate flavoured, 25g of protein a serving for $25.99. I decided to risk it. I really like it! It mixes well, and the taste is very nice! I mix the power with cold water.. so it tastes like watery chocolate, which I'm fine with.

    Anyway, thanks for all your help.. I'm relieved to have an easy, no-cooking hassle-less protein source to make watching my food intake easier while getting filling protein. With a side bonus of a chocolate craving killer : )

      Link doesn't work for me, but if you are looking for the 900g container of soy protein powder (green label, not shake), then I've seen it at Loblaws Forest Hill. I've also heard that the whey version tastes better (decent). its does cost more, but has more protein/gram so it almost works out to be the same, and is palatable.

        Best value for money with a potable taste is Kaizen 100% Natural Whey Isolate Protein Powder from Costco. Lowest cost per serving for a lactose free whey isolate.

          There are much better products available at local health/fitness stores. They have many varieties of protein shakes, whey products, etc. available... much more than your local grocer.

            Just an FYI- don't know if you're already tried this product, but it tastes AWFUL. It's got this incredibly rancid, non-soy plastic taste to it [I think I tried the vanilla one].

              If you can't find it still after bytepusher's suggestion you could try calling PC and asking them about stock, they may be able to help. Did you try a Superstore or a small downtown store? Guessing you will have better luck in a Superstore or a large loblaws.

                Are you looking in the right place in the store? They will stock this near the pharmacy in the same area as vitamins and meal replacements, not in the regular grocery areas.
