I pop the occasional Costco multivitamin - maybe once a week along with some calcium supplements once or twice a week. It's just as a top up in case I'm not quite getting enough vitamins and minerals (I'm pretty sure I could use more calcium though and it can't hurt to be a bit over).

The advice from any doctor I've spoken to about vitamins is that they generally aren't needed unless you've been diagnosed with a deficiency (like my wife's shortage of iron) - they all generally seem a bit skeptical about its value but I bet it assumes you eat a well balanced diet.
