I only spend $ if it's something that was already on our list, otherwise it is just window shopping. </p> <p>At night it's tough - there aren't many activities you can do for free, especially in this city so if we want to save money we stay home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699784 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:04:30 +0000 immabeetoo 699784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Geocaching!! So fun. Can't wait to go with our son and when he's older set up our own cache. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699777 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:02:49 +0000 heffalump 699777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At night we'll have dinner at home, and then sometimes go out to walk by the water, or we'll go out for only dessert if we're craving sweets. </p> <p>Our town also has a lot of things going on, like festivals and arts and crafts fairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699768 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 15:00:39 +0000 autumnlove 699768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Window shopping and walks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699757 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:58:16 +0000 looch 699757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to people watch.</p> <p>I struggle with finding cool things to do in the 'burbs, yesterday we went for a walk on the beach, if we had brought a kite it would have been perfect! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699751 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:57:21 +0000 Bao 699751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Window shopping, reading, watching an old movie in, playing games, taking a walk... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699749 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:57:20 +0000 JoJoGirl 699749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Picnics! It's not *exactly* free, but swinging by the grocery store to pick up a couple of cheap things (cheese and crackers, grapes, hummus) and then finding a beautiful spot with a blanket and a book to hang out for a few hours. Much cheaper than going out to dinner and more fun :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-favorite-free-hobbies#post-699741 Mon, 08 Apr 2013 14:55:44 +0000 mlm2934 699741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you entertain yourself without spending money? We are pretty good about doing free things because we like to get outdoors, but we also need to stop going out for dinner and drinks so often as entertainment. We get bored a lot at night though when we don't want to spend money.</p> <p>Free Stuff:</p> <p>Running (when it's not a race haha)<br /> Tennis<br /> Dog Walks<br /> Community pool in the summer<br /> Street Festivals in our town (about 6 a year)<br /> Card games </p>
