I just use the stuff at Target. It's $8.99 for about 500g, I think. That's around 3 month's worth.

Any cheap creatine monohydrate works.

flaxseed oil because i KNOW i don't get enough essentiall fatty acids, although i love the crap out of tuna and have since replaced my 3 oclock protein with tuna and crackers-almost exclusively. i wasn't worried about omega-3's because of the amount of tuna and the cyclical daily consumption of said tuna.

by the way-2 days out of the week we eat fish dinner with long grain wild, veggies, etc.-did i mention i haven't met a fish i could not eat, save carp? i love fish! i'm pretty sure omega-3's are the only non-issue i may have.
Tuna actually has very little omega-3s, since it has very little fat. Some cans have 1g of fat, so how many 3s could be in there? Compare with 1 fish oil capsule, which is 1g of fat itself.

Salmon has more, but the leaner fish have less fat (obviously) and some fish have hardly any omega-3s.

Basically though, flaxseed oil is a waste of money, since ALA (the 3s in flaxseed oil) need to be converted to be used, and they just aren't converted at a good ratio (5-20%, if that).
