Oh, the joys of staying healthy can keep you jumping. I try and do the right thing about vitamins. I recently researched the heck out of a senior (how that pains me to say) multivitamin and a 1000 mg Vitamin C. I did my best to make sure I was comparing apples and apples.Puritan Pride had a very good price on Vitamin C $.035 per caplet and $.036 per multivitamin but their $60.00 minimum to get free shipping put them out of contention.
Amazon had the Vitamin C for $.0543 per tab and free shipping for $25.00. Amazon’s best price on a senior multi seemed to be $.054 with no free shipping so out they go.
Walgreen had a great price on Vitamin C $.0288 but no deals on multi and minimum $50.00 purchase for free shipping.
Ebay I found the Kirkland brand of multivitamin for $.039 each including shipping but I am edgy about buying vitamins on Ebay.
Bottom line for my vitamin purchase was Costco. Costco had the C at $.023 each and the Multi for $.0314 each. No shipping since I picked them up locally. My local drug stores such as CVS and Riteaid were not even close to the mail order let alone Costco. I know it isn’t tech related but since most of us pop the vitamins, it seemed appropriate.
