What are the Minimum Supplements I Should Purchase?

I plan on starting a 6 week shredding routine. I do not have a lot of money available to purchase supplements. What would be the minimum supplements someone should buy? Protein? Creatine? What would or should one buy at minimum for these type of routines.

 

As many will tell you, focus first and foremost on your "real food" diet. Calculate and use your calorie and macro nutrient targets using quality foods.

At the same time, while cutting (getting shredded), it can sometimes be hard to hit your protein macro targets while still staying within your daily calorie allotment. If so, a protein supplement can sometimes be a real difference maker. As well, a serving of whey, both before and after a workout, can be more easily digested than quantities of "real food."
