Looking for an inexpensive multivitamin. Can't find my Centrum chewable anywhere

I've been taking Centrum chewable orange burst multivitamins for the past 8 1/2 years (since my surgery on 2/11.) I can't find these anywhere now. (I've searched all of the stores, online, etc.) I emailed Centrum & they said they're still making them, but it doesn't make sense as to why ALL of the stores are out of them.

So I'm looking for another LOW COST alternative. (Please, no expensive brands. I can't afford them.) Thank you!

@poet_kelly, If you're still active on here, I'd love to hear your suggestions!

Hi! I took the Centrum chewable for years as well but like you it became harder and harder to find so my surgeon gave me the okay to switch to one I could swallow. I started with a petite senior type (a little smaller than your typical multi) and have eventually moved to the standard Costco brand regular multi.

do you just take one pill? I've seen everyone have to take multiple because the iron and calcium and that they cant be taken together? How does that work?

I also saw above about the deal on the patches, those seem pretty inexpensive? Have you tried those?

I actually won some a few years ago and they didn't work for me. I know others like them.

I take 2 gummy vits and 2 calcium with breakfast/2 calcium, magnesium, and 1 b12 with lunch/2 calcium and another b12 with snack and then my mutli and chewable vit c with dinner (the vit c helps me absorb more of the iron from the multi).

Bariatric advantage now has a 1 a day pill with iron and can be taken first thing in the morning. It runs $20 a month and you can get a 90 day bottle for less. Then I just wait 2 hours and take my first calcium chew. I take 3 500 mg of calcium at least 2 hours apart but usually save my last one for right before I go to bed as a treat. It is a big pill to swallow but makes life easy and cost effective.

I take 2 centrum silver a day, I am not sure but I think it would be a similar price point to the centrum chewable

Centrum has a new chewable. Mixed berry flavor. I ordered from amazon. Have not tried yet as I still have some left of the citrus berry
