Vital Savings on Vitamins

An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but a daily multivitamin can go a long way, too. Do you want to stay fit and frugal? Here are a few ways you can do so without wiping out your wallet.
A 200-count bottle of Centrum is priced at $13.00, or $6.50 for 100 tablets. While this won't break the bank, you can do better. Walmart stocks Equate Complete Multivitamins, which cost $7.68 for 200 tablets, or $3.84 for 100. To save even more cash, you can go to Costco and buy Kirkland's Signature Daily Multi, which is priced at $3.10 for 100 tablets. That's less than half of the cost of Centrum!
Now, when it comes to special vitamins, you could be looking at higher prices. Centrum's Prenatal line costs $52 for a 100-day supply. In addition to that, they don't go down easily, and often make women feel ill. Luckily, there's a fun alternative -- children's vitamins.

So, when it comes to maintaining your health, don't just reach for the big brands. Shop around your local stores and see which offers the most value for your buck.
