I've been using the Family Wellness brand multivitamins from Family Dollar for a while now.  They are equivalent to Centrum, just much cheaper.  Normally they are $4 per bottle but currently they are on sale for 50% off.  That's $2 for 100 pills.

I bought two today and would probably have bought more at that price but they only had two bottles on the shelf.

I wish Family Dollar had calcium citrate but they don't.  At least not the one by me.  I check every time I go there.  Someone recently told me she found calcium citrate at Dollar General, though, so I want to check there sometime.  I've been buying  mine at Kroger and they periodically have buy one get one free sales, so it's pretty cheap to get it then.  But I would expect it to be cheaper at one of the dollar stores.

I have been having problems finding calcium citrate too!

I have several dollar generals by me in Manassas VA. I will check them out for us this weekend.

Family Dollar is more of a hike BUT if it meets my nutritional needs (according to the surgeons requirements) the time spent sitting in city traffic doesnt matter.  The difference between $2.00 multis and regular Centrum is a big cost savings (about 3xs..if I remember the cost of centrum correctly).

Just about every place that sells vitamins has calcium citrate.  I just want cheap calcium citrate.  I don't want to pay $12 a bottle for Citracal.

I must be looking in the wrong area (i.e. the too cheap section) because I just keep finding Calcium carbonate.

Have you bought calcium citrate at Walmart? Their Spring Valley brand has 300 tablets, 315 mg around $8 a bottle

I have found Calcium Citrate at Dollar General.  They don't have it all of the time.  They seem to run out.  I haven't seen it at our Family Dollar, but I get other vitamins there.  They are cheaper and when they are on sale, it really is a deal.  I love dollar store shopping.  kiss

I was wondering about those.  I didn't know if they were effective.  I will go and get some they have the gummy calcium and that is what i need because the calcium pill is so big to swallow.
