Inexpensive sublingual B12
I know a lot of people are looking for ways to save money on vitamins, so I thought I would pass this along. For the past 2-3 years I have been taking Twinlabs 5000mcg "Mega B12 Dots" (available at a number of places including Vitamin Shoppe and Kroger grocery stores). Yes, they are 5000mcg, but note that they also make them in a 500mcg strength, so check the label carefully! They are smaller and have much less flavor than the other B12s I have tried (just a slight berry kind of flavor), and they dissolve quickly (although not quite as quickly as the Celebrate. They are anywhere from $11-15 for 60 pills, but because of the dosage, you only have to take one or two a week, so 60 lasts a long time!
The Celebrate that I was taking previously (which, admittedly, have a yummy cherry flavor) are only 1000mcg, so you would have to take 5 times as many and they are $16 for 90 tablets. That measn that the Twinlabs, if you pay $15, breaks down to 20,000mcg per dollar whereas with the Celebrate you get only 5600mcg per dollar, so the Celebrate are almost 4x as expensive!
Needless to say, I would not recommend them if my labs had not always been very good while taking them.

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
I use the Twin Valley sublingual b-12 fom walmart...2500mcg for $5, 60 tablets which lasts me 2 months when taken daily. My B-12 labs are consistently in the 800-900 range when I take these (i take me 5x a week and skip weekends). I like these because they have a nice cherry flavor and I can go into any walmart and find them with ease no matter where I am.
