On the first day of spring, Bicycle Tours of Atlanta is offering a great deal, especially if you enjoy being on two wheels: The 2:00 p.m. Heart of the City tour is 50% off, dropping the price to $25. It’s a 10-mile, three-hour tour, but that’s a very leisurely pace for that time frame. The tour includes Sweet Auburn, Inman Park, Little Five Points, Cabbage Town, & Grant Park, as well as Oakland Cemetery, the King Historic District, Downtown, and Underground Atlanta.

They provide the guide, bikes, helmets & water. Use promo code “SPRING” to get the deal. 404-273-2558.

Thanks to Rana, the AJC’s Atlanta Bargain Hunter, for the lead.

Came across this deal in Atlanta Parent magazine’s email update: The Boutique Armoire Spring Summer sale is happening at the Dunwoody Plaza Shopping Center through March 21. It’s a consignment sale, which is good for your budget, but they specialize in new & gently used boutique and designer brands.

And this year, they’re accepting Ladies designer handbags, purses, and belts, too, so moms have a chance to get a little something for themselves, too.

1418 Dunwoody Village Pkwy, Atlanta. 770-365-3588.

I haven’t seen South Pacific yet, but it’s definitely on my list—it just looks like a fun night at the theatre. Plus, it’s a Rodgers & Hammerstein work, which means I’ll likely enjoy the music.

Planning to go? You have two ways to save:

• If you use promo code “Jack”, you’ll save $5 on select tickets, plus an extra $5 will be donated to the Jack & Jill Late-Stage Cancer Foundation.
• You can buy one ticket & get one free to the Tuesday & Wednesday, April 6 & 7, performances. To get the deal, you must order tickets in pairs & use promo code “BEACH’”.

South Pacific will be at the Fox Theatre from April 6-11, 2010.

On Friday night at 8:00 p.m., Cineprov will be mocking “Clash of the Titans”. I’m annoyed that I won’t be able to make it to this show this week, as I’m planning to watch the original “Clash of the Titans” before I go to see the new one & I know it’s perfect material for Cineprov. Want to go?

You can buy one ticket & get one free if you mention Atlanta on the Cheap. If you call & ask really, really nicely, they may give you 50% off instead if you’re going solo. And there’s a buy three, get one free option, too, but I vote for inviting three friends & paying in pairs instead.

Never been? You can watch clips online (think Mystery Science Theater 3000 sans robots). Tickets are regularly $10. Student-priced tickets aren’t eligible for the BOGO offer, but no worries: you’re getting a similar deal–student tickets are $5 each.

The Relapse Theatre is located at 380 14th St. NW, Atlanta. 404-246-3805
