Great Hunt Ideas

MSE_Martin

Do you have any good suggestions for great hunts. There are usually two types

Short lived product hunts - e.g sat nav, digital tv.

but the better ones are using real knowledge

e.g disguised own brand hunt - probably the best hunt ever

Have you any thoughts (especially for the latter type)

Concert tickets/events etc.

A hunt for lower priced clothing/shoes/household items which are similar in looks to higher priced celeb versions. Get the look for less idea. I think the supplement from the Mail have something like this, pic of the high price version and then a pic of the low cost budget version, and a competition to win the lot each week.

Locations of cash machines which don't charge a fee.

Low cost fireworks suppliers, November 5th isn't far off.

Car parts/motorcycle/bicycle parts

Low cost van rental (for DIY house moves etc).

Low cost storage facilities and/removal firms.

Baby equipment suppliers/hire.

Airport transfers/best deals by airport.

Low cost airport accommodation.

Clothing/footwear for people other than your average size; 7ft tall, size 15 feet, 36 inside leg or 5ft tall, size 3 feet and size 6.

Items for left handed people; irons, golf clubs etc.

Flat rate fee conveyancing/lowest percentage etc.

Factory stores/wholesale outlets UK/abroad.

Wifi hotspots.

Foreign outlets which supply DIY products cheaper than UK for when rennovating properties etc. Plumbing items are cheaper in France apparently.

Home security products, window locks, alarms, door locks etc.

Grants which are available for energy saving improvements on your home to purchasing nappies, schooling, child care etc.

low cost courier services/local and national etc.

Parking (airport or just for daily shopping/parking etc). Cheap or free(ish) with a purchase. Any deals, particularly near Christmas time to alleviate city centre traffic. Bus companies sometimes have deals where you park on the outskirts of town and bus you into town and run throughout the day, or cheap parking a bit from town etc.
