Re: Tightwad tips for Championship, Atlanta

As I've been starting to write this thing, I'm realizing that to be really useful, Atlanta-specific info is needed after all. Specifically, I'm looking for the following info:

1. Places to get groceries that are walking distance from the downtown area, or accessible by Marta. Mini-mart-type places that sell juice, soda, & snacks are also acceptable.

2. Lower-priced hotels that you've stayed in, and your commentary on the experience, especially caveats.

3. Lower-cost restaurants that are walkable from downtown or accessible by Marta.

4. Wacky-tacky ideas that push the envelope of common cost-cutting into the realm of high-level, black-belt frugality. See below for a sample.

The Perennial Plastic Cup
A plastic cup (brought from your hotel or home) is an invaluable tightwadding tool with many and varied uses. With it, you can obtain unlimited drinks of water from the bathroom at the Georgia Dome, mooch a bit of soda from your free-spending friends, or split a large Blizzard or drink with another tightwad – large is usually twice the volume or more of small for a small incremental increase in cost. A variation on the above theme is the empty plastic water bottle (disposable) for beverages. Plastic – don't leave home without it.
