Vegetable based iron supplements,
Vitamins - The vitamins in the US have 18mg of iron as opposed to our 4-10mg. They're also cheaper.,

B12 - this is a good one to pick up as well. We have the dissolvable strips here, but they have the little tablets that you put under your tounge. They taste okay and they're a heck of a lot cheaper than the strips! I get a bottle of 200 for less than half the cost of a box of 50 strips.,
