I stockpile vites and I am set for a year and I think I spent $600 for about a years worth of vites.

I get vites at costco, puritan.com (when they have a buy 1 get 2 free sale), vitacost.com, proferrin.com and vitalady for my A, D and K. So its a bit of shopping around but its worth it.

Add an extra $200-300/year for little extras that I choose to take like cherry pills, milk thistle, coromega, the occasional bariatric advantage chewy bite etc.

I just purchased a 6 month supply from vitalady, and it cost just under $100 per month. I probably could have gotten better deals on a few kinds if I shopped around, but right now I just need to start taking all my vitamins. This is my first order so once I start getting my bloodwork done I'll adjust as needed.

Less than the extra food I used to eat before DS surgery.

It averages out to about $45/month.

I'm a cheap ass.  I stock up at the BOGO sales for the easy OTC items, then get my dry vitamins at vitalady.com a couple times a year.  I think I average around $20-30 month.

I budget $100 for vites and prescriptions (rxs not DS-related)

Of course, realistically, I actually spend more like $300 every 3-4 months when I stock up from vitalady, and then I just buy big jugs of calcium whenever I pop into a big discount store (sams/costco).

I'm also kinda into all the little calcium chews/lozenges, so I buy those to supplement my vitamin intake and they aren't quite as cheap.

I take a LOT of vitamins - so I'm a bit more than the average bear - but probably $80 a month.
