Jaunted

The key to such an economical weekend is to keep the tourist antics to a minimum; we ate at a microbrewery, window-shopped on Walnut Street, strolled Rittenhouse Square as the snow fell, and only briefly made visits to Independence Hall and the morbid Mütter Museum at the College of Physicians. Nothing says relaxing weekend in the City of Brotherly Love like Pils, the Liberty Bell, and seeing a preserved 5-foot-long colon. Aside from beer, here's where our money went:

· Round-trip on Megabus via their sale: $0.50
· One night at the Apple Hostel in the Old City: $35.00
· Dinner and beer at a microbrewery: $17.00
· Sunday brunch at fancy diner: $14.00
· Latte and three flavors of gelato: $10.15
· Mütter Museum admission: $8.00
· Cheesesteak dinner: $7.16
· Subway ride: $2.00
· TOTAL: $93.81

There is hope for spontaneous travel after all. Have you scored an amazing deal or defied odds with a similarly budget escape? Tell us where!
