Here at BiB, we would never promote theft as an acceptable way to deal with this recession.  BUT, we obviously believe strongly in capitalizing on those little goldmines of savings tucked throughout our city.  Which is why, today we bring you: $5 Certified Angus Burger Mondays from Cheyenne Grille.  Who needs a fast-food foot-long, when you can get a juicy all beef burger for $5?!?!  Cheyenne Grille is located in the Peachtree Battle shopping center and offers several other specials throughout the week, so be sure and check it out!

I always have success in finding great gifts for birthdays, housewarming or weddings at Limetree.  In addition to 40% OFF all Vietra (very popular for brides right now) they are having a 20-40% storewide Sale thru the weekend.  Very cute promotion they are having customers pick and Easter Egg to determine their discount.  Sale ends this Sunday March 29th.

Not going to lie I really have no clue who Eric Jackson is, but apparently he is a big deal .  He is a champion kayaker and owner/designer of Jackson Kayaks, so basically a celeb to the outdoors-men.  He is in Atlanta  and  teaming up with High Country for a paddle down the Chattahoochee this Sunday,  March 29th.  Even better news I just checked the weekend forecast and the rain is going to be gone by Sunday.  This is great opportunity for you to get kayak with a real pro.  Check out the High Country website  High Country  for more details.  This is a FREE event for those who have their own equipment.

I blogged earlier this month about “The Palm” Surf & Turf special going on this month, so I decided to go check it out for myself. I was very impressed, alot of bang for the buck. You only have a couple more days to take advantage of this promotion, so don’t miss out.

Not only do you both get a 9 oz filet and cold lobster tail or crab cake, you both will also get a salad, 2 sides and a dessert (so be sure not to fill up on the bread!) The dinner for 2 is $89.

Because we dined on a Wednesday night, we got half off our bottle of wine. Our waiter, Don, filled us in that the “Wine Down Wednesdays” promotion has been so popular that they are extending it an additional month thru April of ‘09.

A sneak preview of Zoes at the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center.

With prices rising across the board, it can be challenging to find a good, quick, healthy and inexpensive bite to eat. When in a time crunch, I usually find to find myself darting to the closest Chick-fil-A, but soon there will be a healthier alternative, Zoes in the Peachtree Battle Shopping Center (close to Jaliscos).  There are light meals that have fewer than 400 calories and 10 grams of fat, Zone-inspired meals that fit the 40 percent carbohydrate-30 percent protein-30 percent fat guidelines, meals that fit the American Heart.  And not to worry for those who are not watching their calories they have the non  healthy options too.

Their prices ranges from $7 to $9 for their sandwiches,salads and hot plates (which includes chips and a side item).  And don’t miss the deals on the kids menu where everything is priced at $2.95! 

 Zoes Kitchen also does family dinners to go. The menu says each dinner will feed four people, and most go for about $30 (which is pretty reasonable when you do the math). That menu is not as extensive, but seems easy to pick up on your way home when you don’t have time to cook. 

This is one of my family’s faves in Ponte Vedra, so I am thrilled to discover that they have arrived in Buckhead! Go check it out and let us know what you think.
