I remember reading somewhere (Consumer Reports?) that the net difference between Special K and Total cereals is about a half-cent of vitamin spray per box at one step of processing for Total. For this the price difference is twenty or thirty (I haven't checked lately) cents more per box. I wish I had a piece of that action... I think vitamins in bulk are really quite cheap. A.
