Whether you’re working an entertainment job in Los Angeles, California, or stuck in a corporate office in New York, New York, there’s a chance you’ll need a quick weekend break at some point.
 
If you’re in need of a relaxing weekend getaway but your budget is tight at the moment, you may be happy to learn there are several ways to enjoy your weekend without spending oodles of money. From taking walking tours to special promotions and more, here are five top tips that could help.
 
Research Budget-Friendly Travel Destinations and Search For the Best Deals
First things first – when you want a getaway but you don’t have much to spend, you’ll need to find a travel destination that’s actually budget-friendly. This means that your dream trip to Paris may need to wait for another time. Instead, you could research small towns or tourist attractions that are within driving distance or short flight distance of your current location.
 
It may also be helpful to search for the best deals out there by comparing prices online before booking anything. You can also look for special promotions and limited time offers
 
Travel during the low season or shoulder season.  Prices tend to be lower when you travel off season.  You will find some truly amazing deals at hotels when you venture to your dream destination during the off season.
 
If you are planning to travel by airplane, there are some good deals to be found, but you have to do your homework.  Book your travel for mid-week departure and return flights. Airfares are always cheaper if you travel mid-week, rather than travel during the weekend.
 
Pack Lightly and Frugally to Avoid Adding Stress to Your Trip
According to one study, packing, whether for a trip or for a move, can be a highly stressful experience for many people. To enjoy your weekend with as little stress as possible, make sure you:
  • Pack only the essentials
  • Travel light by only bringing a small carry-on suitcase or duffle bag
  • Avoid bringing expensive or highly personal objects with you
 
Skip Pricey Photographers and Preserve Your Trip Memories Via Phone Pics and Social Media
Although you may be tempted to splurge on a photographer to capture images of your trip, why not save some cash and do it yourself? You can save a bundle by preserving your trip memories via photos on your phone, which you can then upload and share on social media.
 
If you do plan to share photos on social media, you can resize the photos instantly using a quick image resizer. After this simple step, it’s easy to upload your newly sized photos to your social media pages, potentially including Instagram or Facebook.
 
Minimize Your Expenses During the Trip by Coming Prepared With Some Money-Saving Tips
Even if you do everything possible to save money while planning and booking your trip, there’s always the risk of spending too much once you get to your destination. That’s why you should leave for the weekend armed with crucial money-saving tips. You can minimize your trip expenses by:
  • Purchasing groceries instead of eating out for every meal
  • Choosing budget-friendly dives instead of pricey restaurants
  • Staying with a friend or booking low-cost motels
  • Finding cheap or free activities to enjoy at the destination
 
 
Share Expenses with Friends Your Getaway
Lastly, you can ask one or more of your friends if they’d travel on a vacation together. This route could be an especially appropriate option if you’ve been dreaming of:
  • Jetting off to a tropical destination
  • Visiting a glamorous major city
  • Leaving the country to explore historical sites
 
Your friends can share the cost for a home or condo or villa, as well as groceries for your desperately need getaway. 
 
Rent a min-van and drive together to your vacation for a local trip in the U.S.
 
When you really need a quick weekend getaway but your pocketbook is feeling slim, fear not. There are several ways you can take that much-needed weekend trip while sticking to a tight budget.
 
Use these top five tips from Allen Batista Travel to start planning your next budget weekend trip today.
