Knitting or crocheting. Or sewing. Or, like, literally any craft. They're not that expensive (Unless you use super expensive yarn or something) and there's a lot of stuff you can make.

1. I recommend looking into your local WI(women's institution) (men can join too). I joined one last year and most of the people there are between 35-45years and love doing all sorts of fun stuff. Its a great way to get to try new things and meet new people. 2. going outside mushroom and berry picking. 3.handcrafts like knitting, painting, gluing odd stuff together to see what it becomes

We don't have WI where I live but there is Country Women's Associations, University of the 3rd Age and neighbourhood centres that have a range of classes, groups and activities. There are a number of people who go foraging in my area, but there was a recent case where 3 people died and one is in a coma from ingesting death cap mushrooms, which has put a lot of people off.

Travelling is an excellent hobby! So is gardening, playing a musical Instrument, reading books, and crafting.

If you’re more technically minded, amateur radio. The license tests are usually very cheap to take and only require some basic knowledge (depending on your home country). Also, a very basic radio setup will only set you back around $40 USD or so.

Pick up an insturment! You can look into buying something along the lines of guitar, electric keyboard, or ukulele secondhand for fairly cheap, and there's tons of tutorials online if you want to learn songs. It's a lot of fun, and gives you something cool to show off.

Back in the day I used to buy clothes at second hand shops and tweak them with my sewing machine to something better looking. With a sewing machine you can buy cheap bed sheets and make curtains

Rock climbing/bouldering.
If you start in a gym, it won’t cost you much. And if you like it, then you can get all the expensive gear
