Video games are probably my favorite hobby. And I remove the guilt of being a sloth by riding my bike on a trainer for at least an hour when I play. :)

Reading, art (painting/drawing), computer games (trying to get into board games), bird/animal watching, hiking/biking (NOT like crazy super fitness stuff - just leisurely walks/bike rides through nature), visiting nature preserves, volunteer work including animal rehabbing (I get to care for baby animals!), gardening, yoga, building Halloween decoration/props (mostly out of found/cheap/trash items)... I'm sure there is more, but I'm blanking on the list.

Lol! I like your sense of humour :)

I'm going to add library books to this list. And many library have e-resources that give lots of options.

Karaoke........
I bought a karaoke machine and hooked it up to our already audio system.
Sounds just like the real thing you hear in bars.
Great way to practice your singing skills. After years of practicing at home, I can actually carry a note, albeit a very small note.

Reading. Pretty damn inexpensive, which helps offset the expensive costs of my other hobbies.  If only I had more free time!

Dunno if this is "entertainment" exactly.
But nothing is more absorbing and less costly than learning.
Languages, music, history, gardening . . .  New knowledge and skills for the price of a library card and Internet. Also new recipes.
After that, reading, biking, walking, and free or cheap movies and music (library, Netflix) take up all my time, along with cooking those new recipes for friends.
None of his great stuff costs much, or anything.

Motorcycle riding. I put my all in costs at around 10 bucks an hour of actual riding time and I tend to do lots of exploring and chilling in there too. I am frequently gone from the house all day and have used up maybe 10 gallons of gas. Other expenses include engine replacements (damn I am hard on bikes lol), chains, tires, oil, gear, etc. All in all though pretty cheap and I get a massive amount of enjoyment out of it.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
