Hello delightful peoples :A
Does anybody know where I can get the best price vitamins from on/off line?
I take quite a large collection of vits and would like to cut the cost of my monthly bill if possible - i am spending about £20 per month at the moment which totals £240 per year.
If I could cut the bill in half I would be chuffed to little pink pigs.
I currently buy from Holland & Barratt (Great if they have a better than half price sale - not so great if they don't)
Thanks in advance

Here are a few comparisons all 500mg for comparison.
Boots Vitamin C Tablets 250 Tabs | Now £4.49 (Was £8.99) 1.8p per 1 tablet
ZipvitVitamin C - 500mg RDD 1 per Day - 200 (size N) 4.45 2.2p
Simply Supplements S195 360 8.89T 2.4p
Healthspan Vitamin C Mouthwatering Chewable Tablets - Aspartame Free 360 tablets £10.95 3.04p
Holland and Barret 250 chewables £4.49 1.8p Matches Boots price.
Tesco Chewable Vitamin C 500mg 60s 1.90 3.1p each Only worth it if buy one get one free.
As you see Boots can and Tesco, if they are selling at buy one get one free, or 50% off, undercut Zipvit and Simply supplements. But if they are NOT on special offer you will usually find Zipvit and Simply Supplements are cheaper, particularly if you bulk buy and can get further discounts.
However for quality.of hype not quality of ingredients...HIGHER NATURE don't sell plain time release vit c, They mix it with stuff that has no proven worth just to con you into paying over the odds.
Both Zipvit and SS have a Price Match pledge. When I've pointed out price differences in the past SS have cut their price and made it definitely worthwhile for me to use them, With Zipvit they've messed me around, passed me from pillar to post , and generally it's not worth the hassle getting them to honour their price pledge.
Remember if you are buying vit c the half life of vit c once in the blood stream is just 30 mins, so really, I should have done a price match for the time release versions.
Boots Sustained Release Vitamin C 500mg 90 Tabs | 5.9p per 1 tablet £5.35 3for2 3.9p
Tesco Vitamin C 500mg Slow Release X30 £1.98(£0.07/each)
Zipvit 8 Hour Time Released Vitamin C 500mg RDD 2 a Day - 200 (size 0) 8.45 4.2p
Healthspan Vitamin C Sustained Release Tablets - better cold and flu defence90 tablets £4.95 5.5p but with Zinc so not exactly the same.
Holland and Barrett time release vit c with bioflaviniods 100 Tablets £2.11 2.1p each
I'm off the H& B tomorrow to stock up. Be careful you don't buy the 250 size that isn't on offer and they cost 3.5p each. They also have the1.5g time release on offer at 4.6p if you buy the right size.
So unless Tesco's are on bogoff Boots special offer 3x2 is cheapest but only marginally cheaper than Zipvit normal price.
Certainly only worth using the high street for special offers but these are worth keeping your eyes open for.
Don't forget Holland and Barrett online shop and if you spend more than £50 you get free P&P the online shop have sold out of the 500mg time release so I bought the 1.5gMy weight loss following Doktor Dahlqvist' Dietary Program
