I emailed a few companies. The maker of gelatein (that jello with protein in it) sent me 8 cups for free - they were by far the most generous (and the only one to send samples). I am friends with a dietician for a hospital and she said that the companies usually only send free samples to professionals like her, so she hooked me up with some Unjury samples, too.
If you like mocha-flavored drinks, Click Espresso - Vanilla flavor is awesome (I still drink one 5 days a week with 12 oz skim milk). I only usually one scoop (versus the recommended 2) and then add flavorless whey protein in it for the extra protein. I can only find the Click online at Amazon - it's around $16 for one container (which lasts me one month the way I drink it). They also have a mocha flavor, but I have only tried the vanilla.
The other option is if you have a Vitamin World near you, they often have 20% coupons in the newspaper coupon inserts, which will help you save some $.
Good luck!!
