Do you know any hobbies which cost less than ten dollars? Perhaps you can share one you partake in that you enjoy. Here are a few I discovered while searching for ideas online. - Disc Golf: Many parks have disc courses set up throughout the world. Most are free. Only equipment needed is a frisbee. -Dancing: Learn the samba or other ballroom dances in the comfort of your home. Many You Tube tutorials will teach you the proper steps. -Whittling: A soft block of wood and pocket knife is all that's required. Free online tutorials will provide you with some ideas and pointers. Nice way to relax and be creative, but watch those fingers, lol. -Stargazing: Although a telescope would give you a better view your eyes will work just fine. Go to your public library for Astronomy guide books and star charts. -Adult Coloring: A great stress reliever. And remember how much fun it was to do in childhood. Buy some crayons and colored pencils and chill as you create your masterpiece! Plenty of free downloadable coloring sheets to get you started. Here are some that I currently do throughout the year: making music mixes, sea shell collecting, meditation, online chess, solving puzzles, and gardening... There you go! A brief list of items you might be interested in trying. Maybe you'll get inspired to find a new hobby come the New Year. Can't wait to see your suggested list....

Those are good ideas, even if a telescope is expensive. I love doing crosswords, playing ping pong, the tables are free to use in our park, playing Badminton, the equipment is cheap.

@dgobucks226 I also love to play Backgammon, but I never find a partner, my husband does not like it . I know the reason, I win all the time.

@LadyDuck I've never played, but probably would be like your husband. My sister was the backgammon player in our family...

@dgobucks226 Yes it is a great pastime. I used to go to a place and a friend would give me books. Now, my physical therapists give me books now.

@Hannihar What type of books do you read? Fiction, biographies, mystery? I like to read biographies and historical stuff. I'm not a big reader like you, but I enjoy learning about famous people.

These are really good ideas. There are free jigsaw sites online too, not to mention other games that you can access for free.

Jigsaw puzzles online seem like fun. I have been buying puzzles at the Dollar Store. Your way can save me a few bucks

I use that one online:
Free online jigsaw puzzles with thousands of beautiful pictures and puzzle cuts. Control the level of difficulty for fun by all the family, or a quick distraction at work, or boring days. Send puzzle postcards to friends, puzzle of the day

@dgobucks226 I tend to stick with a real jigsaw for too long and it makes my shoulders and neck ache. The online ones don't take so long to do.

I like meditation best ! I practice everyday, it's not easy at all but it cost nothing in expense and brings to us a feeling of peaceful in mind and relaxing indeed ! Gardening is also great ! How about singing ? Do you love it ? I also sing with some Karaoke apps ! It's nice too

You mentioned a few good ones there. I do meditate although not everyday. I do yoga which I enjoy. Singing is very healthy. I usually sing in private when listening to music. To embarrassed to do Karaoke in public But online or an app sounds pretty good

@dgobucks226 I love taking photos and nowadays, it is easy with a mobile phone, you don't need to spend a lot of money on a camera, and you print them out only if you want.

Playing chess is not expensive once we get the board and the pieces. I bought my husband's first Christmas gifts decades ago and it was a very good classic chess board with the pieces.

If you discount the cost of my guitars, my recording software, and whatever else might be associated with it, my musical hobbies cost me hardly anything at all ultimately.

Photography is such a great hobby. I have a friend who is very much into it too. Bird pictures mainly. Do you have a bird feeder to attract them? I also attempt meditation. When I succeed it is very calming.
