I had a coupon for $5 off a $20 purchase of a particular brand of vitamins, which I do use for a cuople of things... when I got to the store, I saw that brand was buy one get one free! So I picked up a few new ones, and when my total (with a few other items, including the requisite chocolate bars for my daughter and me) came to about $90, it discounted down to $55! :-)

I got DHEA, Alpha-lipoic Acid and Co Q10. Now I have to read up on them and make sure that's what I want. LOL. I can always exchange them.

Enjoy the weekend!

Way to go! I had a CVS coupon last week from their website and a few manufacturer's coupons too. I went in there determined to buy sale items. I bought $110.00 worth of stuff for a little less than $75. and got a $5 Extrabuck to use bfore 12/6 also, that kicked out with my purchase. I love bargains!!

wowza, gkneez, you are THE PRO! I hate coupons, because I get frazzled looking at them, figuring them out, etc. But savings can't be beat. I might have to go check that one out! (yep, was CVS I got my deal at)

I've taken both Alpha lipoic Acid and Co Q10 for over a year and it didn't make a bit of difference so it now sits in that overflowing box of useless suggested vitamins and meds that didn't work.

As far as the DHEA, forget it. I'm done with supplement, except for Vit D.

We don't have studies yet on the long-term effects of DHEA. But because it may cause high levels of some hormones, experts say it could theoretically raise your risk of prostate, breast or ovarian cancers, as well as other cancers that are hormone sensitive. DHEA is a steroid, and steroid use can be dangerous. Any DHEA use should be discussed with and monitored by your doctor.

Thanks. My fourth bottle was my trusty Vit. D. I'll see. they're all still unopened.
