So I was looking for a snack to have between Lunch and dinner and decided that a protein bar would work fine, but then I saw the Pure Protein and saw that they're $25 for 12. Is this worth it, and are there any alternatives to them that are cheaper???

The Pure Protein and Clif Builder bars are probably the most popular. The Clifs have more sugar, but are very similar to the P90X protein bars. On the other hand, the Pure Protein have more "sugar alcohols" which some people have trouble with.

Shop around; that's not a good price for the Pure Protein bars. I think I paid $14 for 12 at Costco, and $17 for a dozen Clifs at the grocery store.

I use Pure Protein bars and buy them for around $6.50 for a box of six at Walmart. The price you are seeing them for is crazy.

I eat either the PureProtein Chocolate Peanut Butter or the P90X Wildberry bars. I prefer the taste of the Wildberry bars, they are actually tolerable compared to other protein bars. But the PureProtein bars are sold at the local grocery store so that's pretty convenient.

Or you can go the cheaper, quicker route and just have a whey protein shake. That's what I do.

I have two whey shakes a day. But I need a snack and I have a hard time hitting my protein so I am trying to increase in my snacks and want to do pure protein bars.
