I can see that alot of packaging is done for products over there, that might actually add to the prices of goods. And this is a whole lot research you have embarked on, picking the vitamins one after the other to determine that amount of money needed to get an adequate amount of vitamins the body need.

In the end when you are trying to prepare a cheap meal with all these essential nutrients, these little amount of money from different vitamins and other source of food may add up to make the food more expensive rather than been cheap.
