Inspired by the previous question: What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? : asklemmy, I would like to know what hobbies are easier to keep cheap.

Cooking. I have accumulated good cookware through the years and I don't find myself wanting anything new. The only expense at this point is good quality ingredients, but I only eat meat once or twice a week so even that doesn't get expensive.

As a tradeoff, cooking for yourself also saves quite a bit of money compared to eating out. You'll spend more on ingredients but less on staff to prep and clean and serve. And with a enough practice, some of the food you make can be better than what you get in the restaurant. 🤭
