Buy 2 get 1 free on the 24 packs, I think you can only get 1 flavor for all 3 packs though which is ok with me . Comes out to be $.86 per GU. I got myself 3 Tri berries

If you put the three different favors from the 24 pack you get the discount still.

I typically go with 2x caffeine 15 minutes prior to long workout and depending on the total length move to 1x and then zero caffeine as the workout progresses.  Part of me suspects that ingesting a tone of caffeine over a couple hours could have adverse effects.  Unsure if I am right or not.

Thanks for the heads up.  I ordered enough to get me through the year.  Chocolate Mint, every time.

For me, this year about 5 boxes. I only use them on long stuff over 2 hours and on race day. I had just bought a box a few weeks ago to maintain my diminishing supply. Added three boxes thanks to this thread. I pick up a few roctanes from the LBS for the 15' prior to the gun gu.

In related news I bought some Clif Shot Gels and some Clif Shot Blocks that I'm not the biggest fan of.  Got a great deal so if anybody wants them for .50/each plus you pay for shipping they're yours.  Just send me a PM.  I think expiration is next May.

i had learned about gels before a half-marathon and before my first triathlon I figured I needed a few.  I bought the tri-berry thinking it had something in it that made it particularly suited for tris, and wished they had tri-mocha.  Embarassed
