Coupons for Vitamins

Posted on 22-Aug-2006 at 22:39

About a month ago I started working really hard on getting my fitness level up, my fast food (and fatty food!) intake down, and my vitamin intake way up.  One of the things I did was start chewing Viactiv again for calcium, plus vitamins D and K.  I also started taking iron folate as I did when I was getting ready for my first pregnancy and during it.  Low iron levels run standard for me and my mom, and it has made a huge difference in my energy levels to have these supplements in addition to a chewable multi-vitamin.  (Little trick learned from my midwife, who recommended a good children's chewable since I cannot stomach prenatal vitamins or swallow regular multivitamins.  It works, and thanks to Costco's Kirkland Brand, I don't have to chew the Flintstones like when I was a kid.)

Anywho, after looking over all of the vitamins and supplements at my local Rite Aid, I finally decided on the Nature Made brand for getting back in the swing of things on the iron folate.  I happened to be looking over the container a few days back while waiting for something to cook in the kitchen (and yes, I was barefoot and in the kitchen...no comments, Husband!) when I spotted a little code on the side and a note that instructed me to visit their website for free vitamins. 

You can bet yer bippy I just visited it, and signed up for their Wellness Advisor program, which garnered $5 in coupons.  (And entered my code, which got me 60 points toward a $5 coupon.  Woohoo!)  They also have wellness profiles you can fill out; there are seven different sets of multiple-choice questionairres that you fill in and they will recommend various vitamins and supplements.  It'll be interesting to see what their newsletters have to say, as well as their website articles.  Besides, I'm not gonna argue over coupons, either!  Every little bit counts.  I'm gonna have to start clipping them.  Maybe I can set up some trades.  I've seen all sorts of great coupons for everything from food to baby supplies to vitamins to...

Oh my word.

I'm turning into my mother.

Somebody slap me.

(PS  There's a $1.00 off coupon over at the Viactiv site too.  Go grab yours!)

Turning into your Mother!
