Local moneysaving, more threads needed.

I know that it would bulk out the site a bit but could we have the local moneysaving broken down into county/city threads? There are often good local bargains that are of no interest to those further afield. Also I seldom look at the England thread as I tend to find there are bargains in Newcastle that would cost me £150 to go and get.

Would promote more localised moneysaving and allow moneysavers to get together to create a local comunity.

    You can start a thread about any city/county and encourage all the local moneysavers to join in. :)

    The Milton Keynes moneysaving thread HERE has been very successful, for example.

    There'd really need to be a huge number of sections if it were broken up.

    For example - when breaking the UK into sections, Scotland and Wales often become single sections while England is broken down into many pieces.

    But with shopping, geography is important, not population size. So something that's available not that far away from me in Edinburgh (I'm in Glasgow) just isn't all that relevant.
