Atlanta: Big Pie In The Sky Restaurant – $15 Gift Certificate For Just $7!

Posted on

I love watching the show Man Vs. Food.  It’s really amazing all the different foods varieties and challenges you can see.  Today on Plum District, you can get a $15 gift certificate for just $7 to one of the restaurants featured on this show.  Big Pie In The Sky offers huge pizzas up to 30 inches!!  Reading more about this restaurant makes it sound fantastic and worth the drive.  I’m always up for a great pizza and my husband loves New York Style pizza, so I think this would be a great place to try one day.  Big Pie In The Sky is located in Kennesaw, GA.  To check out this deal, head on over to Plum District and select Atlanta as your city.

Atlanta: Lake Lanier Islands LanierWorld Deal!

Posted on

Lake Lanier Islands has released a coupon code to make the water park tickets a little more affordable.  Head on over HERE to make your purchases.  Using code FBDEAL15 takes the adult admission price from $36.37 to $21.37.  You can also use code FBDEAL7 to get the child price down to $14.34 from $21.34.  Oddly you can’t use the codes at the same time, so I’d suggest doing separate orders for the kids and adults in your group to get the best deal.

Thanks Karin!

Hilton Garden Inn, Alpharetta Georgia $59!

Posted on

I’ve had several of you email asking about discount hotel stays in Georgia.  Here’s one that I thought was worth mentioning.  While supplies last, you can snag a one night stay in a king suite with 2 breakfast buffets at the Hilton Garden Inn in Alpharetta for just $59!  This is very easy to get to the Atlanta area from here.  It’s also located near North Point Mall, which is home to the American Girl Store.  Local readers, this is a great way to get away from the kids without spending too much or being too far from the kiddos in case of an emergency.  This is a $135 value, so excellent deal!

Renaissance Festival Tickets $10!

Posted on

Today on Groupon Atlanta, you can snag Renaissance Festival Tickets for just $10!  They have to be used either 4/23, 4/24, 4/30, or 5/1.  To make the best out of this deal, I’d suggest going either 4/23 or 4/24 since kids are free with a paying adult.  ***Note, reader Bethany states she called and was told you cannot use the Groupon deal with the free kids deal.  However Groupon has the free weekend mentioned right on the deal post.  I have an email in to Groupon for them to clarify this, since it is misleading.  Bethany states you can get $6 kids tickets at Kroger.***

***Update again – Renaissance Festival is saying that you have to have a full-value adult ticket to get the kids free.  If you bought this and now don’t want it due to this info, contact Groupon.  They are great about making things right.

The Renaissance Festival is so much fun!  If we didn’t already have plans both weekends, I’d definitely snag these tickets!  It’s something everyone should go to at least once.  Go HERE to get yours!
