when i first started bodbybuilding i used all h and b products, because it was convenient to just go in town and pick them up. They are reasonablly cheap and contain all the right ingredients. The problem i found was like some of the other guys have mentioned is that they are pretty nasty tasting, especially the flavoured creatine and the protein shakes. they dont mix up well and are generally a bit nasty. Your best bet is to just get on the net and search for other supplememts places which will provide better quality products at the same price as h and b. importing siupplements from the US can work out cheap. Id recommend reflex as a very good brand- there choc mint protein shakes are second to none.

I also used to use H&B when I first started using powders etc. but If you are looking for a better and cheaper high street shop alternative then GNC IMO is far better.

They stock a greater range and also have a discount card that offers 20% off products.

But if you want convenience then there are plenty of good internet shops available.

i agree GNC are much better than H&B for sports supps. however H&B stock a better range of vitamins, both have good deals, GNC have some great gold card sales but H&B also have some good half price sales, however at full RRP they are both rip offs, i just look for the deals and buy what i need when it comes on offer
