Problem: Membership at North Madison Anytime Fitness has been one of the best investments I've made over the last several years. Not only is the club extremely clean and conveniently located, the equipment is top notch and always in working order. Additionally, the staff goes out of their way to know the members and help them meet their fitness goals. I joined 21 months ago and will be renewing my membership this week for another year and half. In those 21 months, I've nearly met my significant weight loss goals and have learned how to lead a healthy lifestyle. I could not have done that without the support of the Anytime Fitness crew!

Problem: Imagine Costco, without the membership fee and the Brady Bunch portion sizes, and that's WinCo. The bulk food bins- raw almonds for $2.99 a pound is a great deal. 3 pork roasts for $10...that's pulled pork one night, souvlaki another night, and Hunan pork another, all without needing an extra refrigerator/freezer in your garage. The roast beef that's $3.99 a pound tastes like bologna, but they also offer the real deal for a few dollars more. Produce and dry goods are good quality and priced at a discount. You won't keep as much of your take home pay on items like toilet paper, household cleaners or pet food as compared to WalMart or other supermarkets, but you will see the extra $$ on their grocery items. It's not pretty, and there's no olive bar, but you will save major coin if you don't mind bagging your own groceries and not using a credit card. They have booze, too. Yay!

Problem: I came in on a Friday morning for a mani/pedi. My pedi was fine-more like a polish chnage though-they didn't even give me a leg massage- I shouldn't have paid a pedi price for that. But whatever, that's not even the worst part. By that evening, 2, yes 2, of my fingernails- the polish had chipped off-destroying my (cost extra!!) French Manicure! I have NEVER had such a terrible polish job before. By the end of the weekend-all but 2 of my fingernails had chipped polish on them. I would never go back to this salon and I would think again before wasting any money here.

Problem: Beer is ok. Food...meh. After watching more restaurant rescue shows than are healthy I should have learned a long time ago that any place with a menu the size of a phone book does mediocre food at best. BJs is no exception to this rule. The menu appeared to be heavy on pizza like products so I figured going that direction was the best bet...so I ordered a flat bread. It was supposed to have tomatoes, cheese and sausage. Tomatoes, yes. Cheese, yes. Sausage...not so much. There were a few (and I mean a few, sausage piece like substance on the flat bread, but I wouldn't say it was enough to qualify as saying the flat bread had sausage. As for the bread part of the flat bread it was crispy in parts and soggy in parts. Overall not a good effort. So assuming you can't make the most prominent thing on your menu (pizza like products) well it is fair to assume that the products on the other 90 pages of the menu (yes an exaggeration...its probably only 12 pages long) are, in all likelihood, mediocre also.
