    Any products that have been discontinued or are like hens teeth to find. Wallpaper, paint, makeup, crockery, balls of wool etc.

    Repair men, plumbers, carpenters, etc etc which charge reasonable fees, unlike some places. I just found out that there is a guy locally who charged my parents around £30 to repair two washing machines, and that was including the parts and he was there for about an hour and a half. The guy I used to repair mine was in the house for all of ten minutes, no parts, and the call out was nearly £50!!!!

    Lowest priced perfumes, some quality perfumes vary a great deal in price and I think with Christmas just around the corner it may be useful to know who sells at the best price, aftershaves too. Useful for Valentine's Day too.

    Accessories for electric toothbrushes, Waterpiks, dental products etc who sells at the cheapest, best deals etc. The toothbrushes can be cheap enough but when it comes to buying replacement heads etc they can be rather pricey. May be worth knowing who does the best deals.

    Restaurants with best deals for buffets, set meals etc. Indian, Chinese, Pizzerias, etc etc.

    Best city centre hotels at home and abroad. Could do a top ten of the most popular destinations and people could post their recommendations.

    Family friendly hotels at home and abroad. Also, holiday resorts, companies which cater well for disabled people.

    How about DIY Red Letter days. Costings for spa weekends, car racing days out, paintballing, hot air ballooning etc etc. Cutting out the middle man is sure to reduce the price. Good for birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's Day etc.
