Yes they have an expiration date, but do they actually go bad?

    Yes, one a day men’s for example is $17.50 for a 200 count bottle

    There are other brands like that.

    All the multivitamins that are like “Life Extension, Brain Support, Sexual Health” or some other baseless claim are the ones banking on uneducated people to pay 60 dollars for 30 pills

      Multivitamins marketed to the elderly are usually a great deal less expensive with similar or identical content. I found this out while comparing vitamins during pregnancy, just had to add extra folate.

      This is from Walgreens way back but I don’t see anything like it anymore. 365 pills for $8, expired 2016, so maybe 1.5x inflation since then.

        That’s true. I didn’t mean to put forth the idea that the enshittification that has affected all products has not affected multivitamins. Moreso that the new “niche” multivitamin scams that are being sold for a dollar per pill are not the same as the traditional multivitamin, which as you are mentioning, is now more expensive, but still not at the level of the vitamins that have instagram influencer sponsors
