Saving on vitamins

Growing up I was always the fat kid in class. I wasn't into sports, I hated gym class, and I preferred spending my weekend indoors playing Super Mario Bros. than outside playing baseball. Freshman year in college I snapped out of it, lost 140 lbs., and got into a daily workout routine, which I still follow today.

For awhile, I was into the supplements scene, buying whey protein powder and post-workout shakes, but I quickly got off them. It doesn't hit you at first, but eventually you realize — "holy crap, I spent how much on protein shakes this month?!"

Earlier this year I got this juicer, which is a million times healthier and more natural. But one thing I've never stopped taking are vitamins. It's the one item I don't go budget on. This story by the New York Times is pretty interesting, in that it says you don't have to spend a lot of money on vitamins — if you need them in the first place. Check it out.
