Cheap hobbies i have had in the past in no particular order;
Home brewed beer
Home distilled spirits
Home butchered meat and charcuterie
Home vegetable gardening
Home grown pot
Home grown gourmet mushrooms
Can you see a common thread?
Quoted from ReadyPO:and run your business from home (or have home in your business, whichever it is )
Yes, i live in my warehouse. All my business's have started from my hobbies, including Stilldragon Australia which currently supports my exe hobbies like pinballs, travel and m/cycles.
I'll keep answering this disingenuous question as if it was sincere.
Here's 3 items, less than a couple hundred dollars that will give a lifetime of enjoyment with no maintenance except for stuffing a few rags in the big fella now and then.
The totem tennis ball was actually free when i bought the speed bag from reward points. And it's hours of entertainment and enjoyment. You'll feel fantastic walking away even. I never would have thought a tennis ball on a string could give me so much pleasure.
Except for my ding bat of course.

Charcuterie.
From This;
To this;
And thus to this;
Rich is not a number, it's an attitude. If you are happy with what you have, you are a rich person.
Some people sadly never realise this basic truth.
Quoted from Chisox:Does anything smell better than pork being smoked? Doesn’t get much better than the smoker going and having some drinks on a nice sunny day.
One of my favourite hobbies. The look on people faces when faced with a charcuterie plate full of salami, smoked pepperoni, cold cured hams and coppa, pancetta etc and you tell them you made the lot.
Then when they taste the pork from the heritage pigs and realise what they have been missing with supermarket meat.
Once you have the equipment it's really cost effective with a whole pig less than $100 from the farm.
To buy lonzino or coppa etc here it's well over $100 a kilo.
Mushrooms were another. Good mushrooms here are $50 a kilo I made money selling them at work that paid for me to eat as many as i wanted and give to friends and family. Some of these pictured you can't buy in Australia;
Quoted from Dayhuff:Best thing I ever bought hobby wise besides pinball was my main guitar, a Yamaha FG335 in brand new condition for $100 with the case and that was 32 years ago. Other then some picks and a new set of strings ever few years it's brought me far more fun in the guitar playing hobby then I could have ever imagined for a minimal amount of money. I'll never sell it.

Quoted from GRUMPY:Back yard fireworks for the last 25 years. And I still have all ten fingers left.
Pyrotechnics is what i always said was going to be my next hobby. She said no back then, but it was only a couple months ago istudied the licencing laws here and decided once again to withhold.
Was just too much hassle and training (on purpose to discourage) for an old guy. Shitted me too as i have an agent in China.
