Get your vitamins on a plate
Vitamin supplements have a place in keeping you healthy, but you may be able to save a little money be fulfilling some of your family's vitamin requirements from the food on your plates instead of in a pill. For instance, to get the 1,000 to 1,500 milligrams of calcium your body craves each day, work not only milk, yogurt and cheese into your daily diet, but also dark, leafy greens like kale, broccoli, collard greens and mustard as well as almonds, sesame seeds and beans. Vitamin D is required to aid in the calcium's absorption by consuming fatty fishes like tuna and salmon or looking for vitamin D-enriched foods.
