I’ll be going to the pharmacy today to stock up on vitamins and supplements for the entire family. Aloe Vera juices alone is going to cost roughly RM400 as we buy in bulk. So are the other supplements. The bill could easily run up to RM600 – RM800 at check out depending on whether I’m buying my weight loss pills too. These supplies could last the family for 3-4 months.

So annually, vitamins and supplements alone easily cost more than two thousand ringgit for a family of five. The adage “health is wealth” can easily be used the other way round. You need money to stay healthy. That is proving to be true more and more everyday as prices for pharmaceutical products are not cheap and rising every year.
