To create the best budget for your girls' night out, plan ahead to really get those great deals for you and your friends. Does this Spark an idea?

Plan what you want to do with your friends. This can include movies, dancing, a concert or even an evening picnic in the park. Focusing on things that are free or cheap can help you to spend less money on your girls' night out.

Sign up for daily deal websites such as Groupon and Living Social. These websites provide deep discounts on restaurants, spas, movies and concerts. You should sign up for these websites in your city as well as areas surrounding your city about month before your night out to get access to the most deals. For example, if you live in Sacramento, Calif., you also should sign up to receive email alerts for deals in San Francisco.

Get on the guest list. Women are lucky when it comes to going out to nightclubs, bars and lounges, since many of these venues are free for ladies on the guest list or before a certain time. Call the club or lounge you want to go to beforehand to find out if there is a guest list available or any special discounts for women.

Eat and drink at home. Host dinner and cocktails at your house before you go out to save money compared to dining out. Plan to cook inexpensive fare such as burgers or pasta, or make a delicious salad. Make margaritas or other cocktails to save on money you would have spent at the bar. A $20 bottle of liquor will makes dozens of cocktails; you'd spend as much on one or two cocktails at the club. You can even have each of your friends pitch in a few dollars to cover the cost of food and drink.
