Zilker park -- disc golf is free there (although you need the discs), canoes can be rented for cheap ($10 bux, plus there are coupons for certain times here -

Viewing the bats is free (unless you want to be on the boats).
There are often free music events and festivals. For example, the outdoor venue at the Long center has the Austin Symphony for free on Sundays through this weekend.

Also this weekend, there is the Austin Hot Sauce festival, free admission with a donation of canned goods:

Walking down South Congress and browsing the funky shops is free...
Touring the Capitol Building is free... UT tower costs $5.00 and you need reservations.
