As far as I can tell, that’s for 1,000 IU. You’d have to take 50 pills per week to achieve the dose described here. That would be more like $3/wk.

- mixmastamyk 6y agoNope, they have a 5k for the last two to three years and the higher dose has largely taken over the shelf. I know because I have bought about a dozen of them this season at $4.99 and given them out as holiday presents. https://www.traderjoesreviews.com/product/trader-joes-vitamin-d3-dietary-supplement-reviews/ https://www.traderjoesreviews.com/product/trader-joes-vitami... Forgot, Walmart is another place with good prices on vitamins.

- cameldrv 6y agoAs others have pointed out, Vitamin D is extremely cheap regardless of where you get it if you buy the higher strength pills. You also don't want to overdo it over the long term. If you're deficient, many doctors will prescribe some large loading doses, but from the studies I've seen, going above 10,000 IU/day over the long term has the potential for hypervitaminosis. Also from the studies I've seen, 2,000 IU/day long-term is enough to prevent deficiency. Lots of people don't like Amazon, but you can get a bottle of 250 or so 5000 IU tablets for about $20. This is enough to last a couple of years at 2000 IU/day. There are few people in the U.S. that cannot afford something that costs $1/month.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoA lot of places gouge on the prices. Trader Joe’s and Walmart are two that don’t.
