I have been taking 5 mile walks lately.
The only cost I pay for scuba diving is $3., air fills on my tanks.
Nice piece of basswood cost me $5, good for hours of carving.

I used to like to take my GF out and test-drive sports cars. The dealer even pays for the gas.
Icy tea had a good idea---bird-watching is a very inexpensive hobby. You can get a very serviceable pair of binoculars for less than $50, and the National Geographic field guide, for around $15, will tell you everything you need to know to identify the birds. Once you have made those two investments, you can entertain yourself for free for the rest of your life, and never run out of new birds to look for. There are 800 species in North America, and if you identify 100 in your first year, you'll be doing really well. Every new one you see is free.
