If you put 1/2 tea spoon of Himalayan salt, 1/2 tea spoon of potassium chloride (found with a salt substitute -- I use something called Windsor Salt Free) in with 1.5 liters of spring or some kind of clean mineralized water, it works just like an electrolyte drink. Dirt cheap too.
Yes, I've done that with Nu Salt, a salt substitute. I would mix it with a zero calorie drink like Crystal Light to mitigate the horrible taste, but it still tasted like ass. I've also supplemented with magnesium and potassium tablets separately in addition to the multivitamins I was taking, but it was getting too inconvenient at some point. Not to mention, I used to buy bottles of Powerade Zero and this similar zero-calorie electrolyte drink called Suero X (sold only in Mexico) to help fuel my workout, but I was blowing like 3-4 dollars every training session and it was cost inefficient.
Now I just take two electrolyte capsules (one in the morning and one before my training session in the afternoon) a day along with my multivitamin pill and not worry about anything else.
Edit:
I've also drank Walmart's brand of organic chicken/beef bone broth, Campbell's beef consomme, homemade bone broth made from ox tail, and other similar stuff. Again, it was not cost efficient.
Another thing I want to mention about my diet is that I salt the crap out of my food. I consume a crap ton of sodium chloride everyday, and it's necessary too, otherwise I'll get dehydrated quickly and be dragging ass during work.
