Maytag Washers & Dryers: They are built to last for decades (a rarety these days). Even if you buy them used!

Avenue clothing stores: Stylish, well-made and affordable for the larger woman. They're not made of polyester & they don't make you look or feel like an old lady. Also, very helpful and friendly sales associates without being in your face. You can also shop online.

I had a third item to list but, alas, my brain failed me again!
