How to Plan Cheap Weekend Getaways

Stay for Free

One of the best ways to cut costs on a weekend getaway is to choose a location where you can stay for free.

Check All Your Options

Even if you can’t stay entirely for free, it’s a good idea to check all your options and look for the best deal.

Saving on Food

One of the highest incidental costs of travel is food, which is why I always try to stay somewhere that offers free breakfast. Some hotels even offer free evening hors d’ oeuvres or a happy hour special.

Find Free or Cheap Activities

The discount section mentioned tips for saving money on activities using The Entertainment Book, Groupon, city tourism books, and service-related discounts, and those are still good options. However, the cheapest activities are those that don’t cost a thing.
