This week the Cunning Consumer finds that vitamin supplements come at a price and that price can be vastly different, depending on where you shop.
We’ve done the shopping for you so you can compare prices!
Everyone wants to be healthier these days and if you are having trouble getting all the vitamins and minerals you need from your diet, taking a vitamin supplement can be helpful. But vitamin supplements don’t come cheap and when you add up the cost of many of those vitamins, you’re going to need to shop wisely… You might be surprised at some of the variations we found in the price of a few common products across a selection of pharmacy and supermarket groups:

Don’t forget to look at www.iherb.com as well. This is a great website for vitamins which is based in the US. They don’t stock the Blackmore’s range but they have some other excellent brands. You can search for products by type and if you’re unsure, you can read review customers have written about the products. If you order over $40 worth you get cheaper shipping prices and orders come relatively fast, at fairly low delivery prices.
