So cheap fun - what you do that is budget friendly? One of mine is to take some cheap knife in the 10-20 euro range that is having at least some heat treatment, thin it, sharpen it to the point where you could make a couple of S in a printer paper and and then gift it to somebody. Usually they are pleased. As a bonus there is usually a stream of knives sent your way for sharpening.
I have kids so that changes my preferences a bunch.
Cheap fun:
Nature walks. Kids make this more fun as they will ask questions or spot weird things, or make it fun for you to spot weird things. Also you have to explain things.
Museums. They always seem underpriced to me. You will definitely learn something new.
Cooking. This isn't always cheap, but you gotta eat and if you just subtract your normal meal costs it's not too expensive. I'd recommend playing around with chili recipes, making custom pizzas, cooking eggs different ways, and finding some less common items that you want to perfect (my dad makes perfect Reuben sandwiches, I judge all Reubens in comparison to his, and none I've had are better.)
Crafts. School has a way of ruining things that can actually be fun. I thought I didn't like crafts, because I was forced to do so many dumb crafts projects in grade school. I should have realized before having kids that it could be fun, I already knew reading and writing are fun outside of school. Pipe cleaners, straws, glue, tape, paper, and foil are enough to build a lot of things. And then since it's not school you can also buy firecrackers, a lighter, and a pellet gun and have fun destroying your crafts in cool ways.
