Poll - cost of vitamins
How much do you spend per day on vitamins?
I know, that requires doing some math. If you figure out how much you spend per month, you can just divide it by 30 to get the average per day.
Feel free to share any money-saving tips, too.
I spend about $1.06 per day on vitamins, which I think is pretty good.

Money saving tips:
Naturemade-not only often on sale Buy 1/Get 1 at Rite Aid but you can also register on their site and enter the codes found on the side of the bottle. 500 points and you can get a $7 off coupon for their vitamins. I get about 80 pts per bottle that I enter (varies by what product you have) so it doesn't take long to get to the 500pts. They have other stuff but the coupon is the deal.
Generic-I buy generic Centrum Silver and Citracal Petites. It can make a big difference.
Shop around- I know it's nice to have one place but follow those sales. Puritans Pride runs a good sale often. Amazon can be helpful and subscribe and save there can help more.
Coupons can help. Even if you don't want to enter your points at Naturemade they have coupons available to print and so do a few other companies. Check those websites!
Pay attention to all those Groupon type deal sites (healhydeals, eversave, etc). I have gotten a few of the $XX for $XX worth of product" at several sites that sell vitamins.

My money saving tips are coupons, coupons, COUPONS. Stack your coupons with store sales for even better deals! For instance, CVS has there bogo sale going on right now. Last night I purchased two boxes of Centrium womens vitamins (100 count bottle). They retail for $13 a bottle. With the bogo 1/2 price they were $20.50 for 2 bottles before tax. I used 2 $4 off coupons from the Sunday paper ($8 total off both bottles) and some other CVS rebate coupons I had gotten last week and I walked out the store paying $5 for two bottles of vitamins. That's a 3 month supple of vitamins.
CVS also has all thier store brand vitamins bogo 1/2 off and some of the major brands are also bogo 1/2. This is usually when I "stock" up. I'm usually able to get a 3-6 month supply of some vitamins at a fraction of the cost.
